Software Samplers/VST's - Rate Thier Tech Support

[twangchief]

I've narrowed it down to purchasing a software sampler or virtual instrument from these five options.

Native Instruments
IK Multimedia
Steinberg
M-Audio
Tascam

Which ones, in your experience, have good tech support?

Thanks

Not steinberg.

They all have a demo version. Try them well with your host software and see how well they work before you buy. Try out their forums for support and see what others are having problems with.

They all seem to want to sell their own samples or control who makes samples for them.

I have good experiences with NI and Giga, fast turnaround and good technical answers.

And Chicken Systems lets me get about any sample in or out, but I think there's only one guy working there.
