Originally posted by LENG Hmm... talk about liveliness, yeah... i felt that too... anyway, the answer to the question is: both are also softsynths. the thrillseeker lead is from vanguard and the matt darey's strings are from reaktor. i think only a handful people can tell the difference, just like you daniel. and i suppose it's barely distinguishable... so, it doesn't matter if it's hardware or software... when the sound is mixed together with the rest in a track, you can hardly tell the difference.

The first clip is very nice. Btw, even if you can easily recognise the vanguard's high frequencies, it was also noticed in the mp3 tags that B was vanguard...

Out and about.

Among other things, trying to do some producing instead of post-whoring.

lol... i didn't even notice that *hahaha*
anyway, somehow i kinda like the sound, that cut-off sound of that vanguard it's erm... kinda addicting

I think there will always be a difference between the two but you will notice it only if you compare them :

Here is a short test :

The hardware one isn't really hard to find between the two, but if the software one was in a full track and you haven't the hardware version to compare to, would you really notice if it is hardware or software ?

Airbase uses purely Ableton Live now, he released a statement on his website a while ago regarding this.

IMO the gap between the two is decreasing all the time, and it is only a matter of time now before the only reason we will need hardware is purely for the touchy-feely thing, that makes us feel somehow more comfortable.
