I dont get how you can get sidetracked by hardware...if anything its easier and faster to get good sounds out of hardware, I bet the abundance of software and their parameters sidetracks people far more.

That said...be ready to accept a sound quality downgrade by going all ITB from a Hardware setup...I would not do it for the reason you stated.

yeah i'm with kismet on this one. I had very nice hardware about 15 years ago sold it all and now regret selling it. Now all the hardware i own is a yamaha sy85, Novation Super bass station a roland mc303 which sucks apart from the drums. and a mackie mixer.

I really need to get back to buying hardware again.

i do miss tweaking those knobs.....

After a while you might think dam i wish i still had my hardware.

Sell it all and get a badass controller (I'd recommend novation)

Sell it, use the money to buy awesome monitors/pc/acoustic treatment. Maby take a few courses in music theory. Or sound engineering. If you get engineering, hardware/software it won't make a fucking difference, you can get the same sounds because you actually have the skills.

The people who say hardware sounds different from software are the same people who say they can tell the difference between a 450kbps mp3 and a 44/16 wav file.

Btw, do you have a 303 in there anywheres? :P

I did it, and I'm not regretting it. I work so much faster, and for me the difference in quality is negligible. Total recall is a big plus. That being said, I have toyed with the idea of picking up maybe a Moog Voyager or LP just as a supplement. If I am going to pick up hardware at this point, its going to be vintage or modern analogue (Moog, SE, etc.).

I sunk all my money into my monitors, computer and converters.

ITB is that like in the computer? software? I couldnt work with hardware myself so i totaly get u. And im much happier now. Good call. after i got rid of my hardware ive been more productive.

Save the TI

Virtual Analog is so 90s anyway, get a bad ass sampler.
Let me know if u find any, I have not.
