The K1V 8-bit VST has a unique purpose in that although it sounds quite horrid in some of the instruments it's voiced with, *a very valuable skill can be self-taught because with enough processing, you can achieve perceived authenticity that passes for the acoustic instrument having been recorded.* There are undoubtedly VST's worth paying for but the overwhelming majority, they're not. With virtually every instrument you desire, someone has produced a free VST that uses real samples of that instrument but sifting through the hundreds out there is not fun! DAW's in themselves are a dime a dozen without any named one truly being in a class of it's own. They can all be shown to do something special that qualifies them for that honorable mention of "the best". As it is I can hear clearly when watching movies like the new Mad Max and countless others the entire scores are someone on a computer using synths and sequencers. It's rare they still bring in full orchestras to record a score even on the most expensive of film and television projects.

They have the ability to compete with the best DAWS apparently just not the brains to make the appropriate changes
