Thanks for that link.. About the programs, I work with pros and all i use is pro gear.. Anyone can get a soft synth. They are free off kazaa and a lot of the time ppl use loops and stuff how un origional and talentless! Plus all you gotta do is click with your mouse on a piano roll.. I dont consider ppl who do that real musicians. Those are just a few examples.. Sure you can get a soft synth to have similar quality nowadays. But its still not as good and they never will be. I am NOT against soft synths at all either. Im just saying useing them as a primary is bad. I have some soft synths from NI i like them. But i also have actual synths. The thing i really hate is kids who have their moms compaq computer and a program and they call that a studio. lol. I know this post is going to errupt into some big ass debate which is going to suck because some people may be offended because artists have verey sensitive egos.. And that is true. So just let me say this.. Softsynths are good. Programs like frootyloops are good too i suppose but not when you are ONLY useing that and a computer. But i bet a lot of you are also just starting out which i think that would be a case where its ok to have just that instead of hardware. |

I agree with you that people who only use premade samples are just kiddies when it comes to producing, but quite honestly, how can you believe that the hardware makes the musician? The skill, technical expertise, and creativity make the musician, not the musician's possessions.
And not all softsynths are free, some are quite expensive.
I'm not an advocate for pure software, in fact I believe the ideal studio would have digital sequencing with a combination of hardware and software synths, but I just don't see the logic behind your argument. |

| Softsynths are good for EXPANDING your studio when you are low on cash. Hardware will ALWAYS nomatter what have the upperhand. And trust me you can get anything for free off the net. I got Cubase SX 2.0 on my first try. And you do NOT have to have a lot of talent to make a song with a program because its all there and ready to basically do it for you. You dont have to move your hands over keys anymore etc. Its just click and point now. Anyone can do that. It took me a while to learn the MOTIF which was not my first synth, and it took me about half the time to learn my first soft synth. Basically anyone can do it now. You dont have to be talented, you dont have to go to school, you dont have to know about anymore. My mom can make a song on a program im sure. |
