Brad: yeah, I did, that's why I'm calling. We love the song and think it's got potential to hit the Top 40, but it's got a few major issues that I wanted to discuss. Randy: oh. Really? What....what sort of...issues? Brad: well, it's the guitars. They sound great, but it sounds like you recorded the lead with a Les Paul, and the rhythm with a Stratocaster, both through Marshall amps. Randy: yeah, that sounds about right. What's the problem? Brad: well, our audience is pretty tired of those sounds. They're more into Gibson SGs and Telecasters recorded through Mesa-Boogies these days. Randy: Oh, I see. Brad: yeah, so if you could just go buy some new guitars and amps and re-record the guitar tracks, we'll sign the song and you'll be rich. Randy: OK, cool. We can do that. Hey, what did you think of the melody? Brad: never heard of it. Is it some sort of instrument? Randy: no man, it was, ya know, the part I was singing... Brad: oh, I didn't really notice. But, hey buddy, I gotta run - re-record those guitars and we'll talk.

Brad.
Is.
Dumb.

No, it was just a random name.

Back on topic, I think I've decided on the Kurzweil PC3X. But, if I had to go with one software synth, it would be Omnisphere.

Nord G2X, but Reaktor comes a close second

My pick would be Thor.


But it was a hard one for me because I love FM8!


Thor as FM also!

Reaktor, plogue bidule or MAX/MSP IMO. Or Csound. Fuck, if we're going to an island theres a lot of time to spare to learn a programming language.

No, the deeper I dig, the more I realise that if I am struggling to create a certain sound, it has nothing to do with the synth but more to do with my own capabilities. Better to take this attitude and learn one synth inside out, than instantly look for another synth the moment I struggle to create the sound I am after.
