Art of Sampling

Over the years I’ve owned many hardware samplers:

Now I’m looking to get back into sampling and trying decide which software sampler to use.

I am choosing from:

I’m currently watching all the tutorial videos that I can find including the ones at Mac Pro video.

I think is a great way to try and figure out which features you’ll actually use and need.

Kontakt has a ton of features including eight different loop points in a sample which is insane.

It also seems to have a higher learning curve, but it would be universal between any the DAW’s I would use.

Sampler and EXS24 only work in there native DAW.

So at this point I am leaning towards Kontakt.
