I'm not all that up on current software. In the past I used orchestras and jazz bands from Garritan and a synth from Native Instruments and probably some others. I liked some of the sounds, but they didn't seem all that easy to use with either BIAB or Logic Pro, compared to hardware. Also, with software, it seems like there can be more of an issue with a company making updates for the latest Mac and Windows operating systems. If the software is discontinued or no longer works with my Mac or PC, I'm out of luck.
I haven't been keeping up, though, so some of my concerns may be off base.
