Like i said adding another oscillator isn't going to improve your sound. The fact is that its going to add on to it LOL. |
:conf: :conf: :conf:
"Adding on" IS improving. That's all a "sound" is. A sound is the sum of a finite number of sine waves at specific frequencies. Every single sound that can possibly exist can be created by adding other sounds together.
Why do I even bother...

AAAARGGGH MAKE SENSE DAMN YOU! For the love of god MAKE SENSE!!!
I have a headache... |

oh god u newb. If you think adding an extra oscillator is going to get you signed then why aren't we all doing it. We are not. Adding an extra oscilllator is not going to improve dynamics lol. For example if you add 2 Saw low freuency oscillators and your going to get a full lo end sound? You will not. if that is how you think then u still have a lot to learn. Lol at you sayin why do i bother lol |

| how is using the LFO unleashing more data HAH! |

Wow, now THIS... is sig worthy. For an entirely different reason. |

Ive had too many beers to actually try an understand what ur discussing.
But you guys can suck on this:

Single analog saw oscilliator filtered |

| so lord newb diginut, still think an lfo is going to make your sound clearer or phatter? lol |

i don't know how you look at things but as it seems you took things the wrong way and thought that i don't know how to program a synth. Like i said adding another oscillator isn't going to improve your sound. The fact is that its going to add on to it LOL.

| Diginut, 98% of the TA users have never clicked 'init' on any synth, All of that 98% uses presets, uses vengeance kicks, and follows a document written by armin entitled "How I make music" to build their cookie cutter McTrance tunes. |

This will not prove anything either. The guy with the most skill will sound the best regardless of equipment used.
The best way to maybe measure this is to make a sound with an analog synthesizer or whatever and then see how well it could be recreated in software.
It is mostly hardware synthesizers that has the most distinct character of synthesizers, and that is what the whole discussion is really about, character.
Which is something softsynths does not tend to have alot of, its mostly the same raw waveforms with some different effects and sound shaping capabilities.
Generally analog synths tend to just sound phatter straight out of the box, whereas Virtual Analog (software or hardware) starts out with a pretty thin sound, which of course can be shaped to awesomeness depending on the quality and features of the synthesizer.
The starting point of the sound (raw oscilliators) is what gives the impression that analog sounds phatter, and it really does sound phatter!
But from there, its about skills. Making the same phat sound in software would require more work and skill from the producer.
And as far as skills goes:
