The best ones I found in terms of realism were the drums, the pianos, and the electric basses. A lot of the sounds are very clean, perhaps too clean, almost sterile to a point, but there sure are a lot of them. I think that because it’s meant to be a comprehensive library, with every type of instrument sampled, that perhaps the realism of some of the instruments suffers. Mixing drums within the plugin was pretty easy, and although the effects weren’t as versatile as using a separate plugin, they sounded great and were simple as could be. I found it very easy to use, which is certainly one of it’s strong points. The ST3 interface is now a big, friendly square, with 3 tabs (Play, Mix, Edit) which allow you to easily find and load sounds by type, apply a myriad of effects, and tweak the parameters of the sample natively. It also comes with a staggering 33 gigs of sounds, which will take you a good number of hours to download, so be prepared for that. SampleTank 3 is leaps and bounds better looking, bigger, and easier to use. The shortcoming of the original SampleTank was the interface – it was tiny, red, and hard to look at. They were the first ever virtual instrument plugin for your DAW, but they haven’t been resting on their laurels and counting their Euros. Fast forward to today, and SampleTank has come a long way.
