I need a stable, budget sample library.
Anyone know any good ones that are cpu light (using 2005 powerbook), but have a good varied set of natural sounding instruments?
I've been through sampletank hell and need my faith in virtual instruments restoring..
How's NI Kompakt, or indeed Kontakt?

Kompakt is good for playing back basic sounds. But if you are interested in tweaking your sounds a little more and have filters and effects on it, maybe sometimes want to build your own instrument you should decide for Kontakt. BTW you get a 15 GB library with Kontakt.

Can anyone comment on how Kompakt compares to Halion Player? I have very little money. How do the sample libraries compare? Is one a bit more flexible than the other? CPU load?

Never used Halion but I do use kontact 1.5. My mac is not that powerfull and was very relieved that kontact had very low CPU usage. Even when it is running the maximum number of samples/instuments its still lower than any VSTi I have. But that does depend on how you make use of its modular structure. Can be a bit slow analising samples for beat+time machine though(not really a problem though).
