No. In my opinion the demos are USUALLY dry sounds (without external effects) from the instrument. These kind of demos shows what can you do if you have that synth + the soundset. Nothing more.
But now i wanted to do it different: this demo show what can you reach with some experience and a little processing (eq + compressor) and how does it sounds in the mix. Yes it sounds tempting.. but i think we can agree with that if you have good, quality sounds in a track you can't really go wrong. But if your basic sounds are shit, thin & powerless, then all the experience and the most genius processing techniques in the world won't help on it!

Why didn't you do your own demos instead of what is basically a series of engineered covers? Seems pointless.

This. Also I don't know these tracks that well, but have you only recreated patches from popular songs?

Three reasons:
- I thought people like the familiar melodies.
- Now everybody can compare the sounding with the originals.. and maybe some of them were created in professional, and expensive studios.. but it shows you can recreate them with these sounds.
- These are professional songs! Beautiful and perfect ones from talented producers. Are you asking why i didn't write 10 professional tracks instead of used 10 already existing tracks? Cause if i would do that, it would be my own album, not a product demo

are we really questioning sunny laxs techniques here? now i don't regularly nuthug but this is one of the most credible trance artists to have done a soundbank thus far
take the early virus patches vengeance did when they started, apply them to any soft synth, change the values slightly, basically every single sound set ever made. It is like that movie GroundHog Day.
I have a question, on your track Sunny lax - P.u.m.a., I noticed the saws sound better than what you have here on the demo. Did you use the virus for the original track?
Cheers.
