the monitoring in this thread must be the equivalent to using paper cups with strings attached, the sylenth one is close but is too detuned (are you even listening to the dry ones?) zebra clearly wins hands down.

Point is, asking wether Virus or Z3ta sounds better than the other is like asking if Blue is a better color over Red What is good or bad in the scene and in the clubs does not designate what everyone likes or dislikes.

Anyone who asks if hardware sounds better than software or vice versa, has seriously midunderstood the purpose of music. And probably shouldn't be here.

Heres mine. http://www.sendspace.com/file/vj499g

Do an A/B to the virus, the overall sound isn't the same because I didn't automate the filter the same way. But if you listen at the end when the oscillators not actually running through the filter, its pretty similar.

Is this albino ?

It doesnt sound pretty decent.

But i dont think any of the samples posted so far sounds better than the first sample with delay.

Yeah, all in all i have to agree, thor came the closest but it was still lacking flavor.

Fully support the TI, if there was one piece of hardware i would be buy it would that, or maybe something by dave smith.

massive actually. Are you saying it does sound decent or doesn't?

It sounds pretty good i think.
But not as good as my first sample.

How about you all use whatever (hardware, software, analog, sidechain, DISTRESSORS) to make a better sounding lead than my first sample.

I might try with Massive as well.

Right now I'm just demoing a bunch of synths with that Deadmau5 riff and the rising LP filter cutoff. I'll post a whole bunch of files soon and let people judge what they like best. It's kind of a fun way to test out how synths sound right next to each other anyway.

I disagree.
I think sound is percieved like beauty.

When you see a smoking hot girl there is usually an overwhelming consensus that will agree.
She has a certain hot signature to her appearance much like a Virus.
Than you get something like z3ta and its just some average 8 chick.

Vanguard more like a fat chick (I know some Vanguard lovers are gonna hate me but hey fat chicks need loving to)

Just because alot of people agree a girl is beautiful doesn't make it so. Pretty much every runway model out of Russia and Eurasia has been stanuchly underweight and creepy looking.

Beauty aswell as Pleasure [from music] is subjective.

Large chunks of the world population thinks one drug or another is great. That doesn't mean those drugs are great. Cocain isn't great, for instance.

I compared virus against thor, zebra 2, and sylenth1 in ableton and virus seems to be better than sylenth1 and thor, but zebra 2 was different. Virus had a smoother sound and zebra had much louder lows so I'm wondering if it's just a matter of EQing virus to match to equalize the perceived advantage of higher volume low freqs.

Assume for a moment that synth comes down to purely preference. What does it matter if synth A sounds better than synth B, if synth B is what most people hear in professional tracks? People will get used to a certain sound and will like tracks with that particular familiar sound.
