Are you going to be recording to tape? Can't use any DAW software, remember, otherwise you're no longer hardware-only.

| yes! Nothing compares to the sound of an overdriven guitar hitting tape. |

So... Any empirical facts to back up all of this puffery and ignorance? It's hilarious that this is all coming from someone who's only synth is a Xiosynth. LOL.
My advice: never join a debating team. No jokes, I'm serious. |
I'm actually on a debate team, and this is not a debate fyi.
The only "empirical evidence" I need is a brain and ears. |

What's a "good" sound is completely subjective unless everyone agrees on some measurable criteria for "goodness." Saying a synth is "the best" because "it makes 'fat' and 'warm' sounds!" is probably even less informative than telling someone you like your favorite wine because of its "fruity" character.

the question is "can soft synths ever sound as good as hardware". soft synths can sound identical to non-analog hardware and vice-versa, ergo... "yes". you cannot debate this, it is fact. a lot of people in the forum are trying though ;)
however, vsts vs. analog, there's no point in even going there because no one can prove and its all just oppinion, like you said. personally, i've never heard an analog synth to sound significantly better than a typical VA. |

yes, it does. fm7 vs. dx7 wasn't so much of a margin, but fm8 is way superior.
i owned a yamaha sy77 for about a year, which is actually better than the dx7, and it was really piss weak compared to fm8. i basically just ended up using the sy as a midi controller, until i gave it back to my aunty about 2 months ago :p |

Well Im glad you think FM 8 sounds better then a dx 7! I have my eye on a good FM hardware synth but i think i will stick to FM 8 and Sytrus!

i'm not saying that you shouldn't buy a dx7 though! sorry lol, im just saying FM8 sounds better...
remember you basically have zero resale value on fm8, whereas the dx7 will probably stay the same or possibly go up in value. |

Good Point! I guess its like when you buy a TB-303 OR JP8000 Your buying a piece of Roland history!
Well I have a hard on for the dx-200, it has the same engen as the DX7!:D |
