Warming up the cold of digital

If I plugged a digital sounding synth through an expensive tube compressor or the like, could you get the sound warm enough to pass as analogue ?
I realise this is a largely academic question, because a good tube is often worth more than a good VA synth. |

I've often wondered this myself, so here's a bump for your thread..

possiably . .
but you will still lack the 'inperfection' of analoug if you will. digital is precise, every time. analogue, is almost varied, nothing is constently precise.
but there are some killer soft synths that i bet could pass as hardware if you send it through some tubes
i'll have to try this out next week when i go back to school in the studio |

| Its the filters that often make synths sound digital. I mean really, VA synths are digital as well. You can use the virus waveforms in wavetable synths like zeta, the difference is the filters that it passes through. As an owner of both hard and soft though, getting the analog sound is a matter of good synthesis and nothing more. |
