best way to get Vienna instruments

[musicgearfanatic]

Okie-dokey. So I have tried to wrap my head around the best way to get started with VSL. My goal is to eventually own EVERYTHING so my question is what is the best way to do this. Obviously I cant afford the complete package all at once. If I start with the SE my fear is that I have been reading that there is no real upgrade from it so that would make it a waste of money as I would eventually be purchasing full packages of everything. And what about downloads vs dvd collections. I keep hearing that there are things on the downloads that are NOT on the DVDs and visa-versa? So in a nut shell what's best? Just pick anything - say chamber strings and buy it - or start with SE? Go for bundles? Its all so confusing. Thanks, Jason

Hi Jason,

there are complete upgrade paths from Special Edition over Download Instruments to the DVD Collections. All samples you already licenses of any of these collections that are also contained in the next bigger product will be taken into account.

Not true. There are a few download instruments that are not available in a DVD Collection, like Bassoon 2, Trumpet in Bb, all plucked instruments.

Here´s more information on the upgrade paths:

I´d start with the Special Edition, you can´t go wrong with that.

Best,

Paul
