Did you ever stop and think it might not actually be the software's fault when something sounds like ?

Please don't talk about something you clearly have no idea about.

Can you then explain to me why experienced producers that have been using hardware, and hardware only, for years and years, and have had numerous classics, now go all software ?

They lost their hearing? :o

Only joking. People who say you "need" hardware to be professional or make great-sounding music don't know .

Bwahah, that's the most unbelievably unscientific and just plumb stupid thing I've read in a long time. There's no difference between the "summing" on a PC/Mac and the myriad of digital hardware synths like the Virus or JP. They're all using "1s and 0s", and if that's your only criteria, you'll often get better quality on a computer because you can mix in 24/96, whereas a lot of hardware synths still use 16/44 internally, and of course you have to deal with ADCs/DACs and noisy lines which sacrifices even more quality.

Now, certainly there are some software packages that are somewhat lackluster when it comes to audio interpolation in real time, but pretty much all of those have a "high quality" mode for the final bounce, so in the end it makes no difference.

Don't quit your day job!

You are clueless.

Not much else to say to that, really.

Lol what do you think is coming out of your "analog modelling" (digital) synthesizer? 2s and 3s? Get a clue.

Bah Humbug!

This was possibly true in the ealier nineties when computer processing power was total hell.

Besides, most VA hardware synths are basically boxed-computers totally dedicated to your sound needs. This is like like your TI-89 calculator to math class.

Wow, just stop talking.

Seriously, don't be spreading bull misinformation.

EDIT: this post is directed to krispy kreme and his "0s and 1s" post.

EDIT AGAIN: you all already said it better. :)
