'ask a girl if she likes hardcore or softcore'

Yeah, I stopped using both once I got some more hardware instruments, though. In a lot of my tracks these days, my Virus Ti has no other purpose than to do some really thick lush pads since it has a fecal-billion voices.
Here's a better image of the Prophet 08's INTEGRATED CIRCUITS. You can see that it's basically the same thing eight times, one for each voice. If this where discrete circuits, the damn thing would be the size of the "coffee table" / PolyMoog. |

Eh hardware is a cool guy he makes nice sounds and doesnt afraid of anything
On topic....I can honestly say buying a virus was one of the best things I ever did, not only soundwise, but fun-wise too |

| i hear that the pros of hardware is that its hands on, i mean why would i shell out 3k for an andromeda just so i can use my hands? wouldn't it be better if i just get a midi controller? |

I'm not convincing you of anything buddy, in fact i agree that hardware is better than software, i just purchased cubase so i can be able to support a virus c that i'm going to be buying soon.
But that isn't the point here, each production method has its target audience... we can assume hypothetically that software is for people who prefer compact studios that provide the most bang for their buck, while hardware based are more for perfectionists and such.
Money is my main problem, and im pretty sure a lot of members here share that same constraint. |

VIP zone clearly has a vested interest in making you think that hardware sounds better given that they sell samples of this "amazing" hardware. If they can convince you that their hardware sounds so much better and they've sampled it, then they've sold you their product haven't they?
And you can't even see that conflict of interests? or are you so stupid you don't think before you post? And who the are VIPzone anyway? Aren't they the guys who do the samples for FL? So a really credible source to start with :eyespop:
Why don't you just buy a virus TI, penetrate it, and electrocute yourself in a painful place. See what sort of sounds you make then face. |
Umm.. can we say anger management?
Go club a baby seal and punch your mom in the face for giving birth to you.
They don't need to convince people that "hardware is better", BECAUSE IF SOFTWARE **WAS BETTER** theyd simply sell software based samples.
They sell hardware samples because they're better.
If you don't know who VIPZONE is you're obviously new to the game, very ing new cause I found them like the first week I started producing.
And seriously, "electrocute myself in a painful place", when you try to insult someone, actually insult them.
In a "painful place" seriously, who the fvck talks like that.
"Hey yo, I'm so bad Im gonna punch you in a painful place!!"
Go sip some tea at grandmas you're as hard as mash potatoes. |

Not wanting to walk into the middle of a flame war, but a lot of sample companies' target audience is people who want to do all their producing "in the box", that is, not build up a hardware studio.
Buying/downloading a VST synth and using it in a sequencer is not a massive issue for most people. Buying a hardware synth, then a suitable audio interface, learning how to send MIDI out to the synth and record it...if people have zero experience with hardware, it's a much bigger step than installing a soft synth.
VIPZONE will push the "hardware sounds better" line, because most people won't want samples of software synths. Why would they? It's so easy to install and use the software synth, and have more control over the sound.
They push the "hardware sounds better" line because many people will weigh up the cost of the samples, vs the cost of buying the hardware synth/s (and associated learning process) and decide to buy the samples.
I'm not going to weigh in on the debate. I use both hardware and software, depending what would suit a particular song. There is no "better/worse", just what is appropriate at that moment.
I've said it many times, every synth, hardware or software, has a particular sound. To get the sound of certain synths, you need to buy some hardware. Obviously, not every producer or song needs those sounds - there are fantastic productions being made entirely with software, and the percentage will probably keep rising. |

Are you always dumb enough to get duped by sales people, or is this a special occasion? You're not meant to answer this; it is a rhetorical question. I already knew the answer, when you bought a Xiosynth.
:gsmile:
They wouldn't make any money out of selling software samples, because people could just go and buy (or download) the product itself, for not much more. Try using those few brain cells you have before posting in future, because almost everything you say makes you look like a moron. |

This is why they need to teach logic in school. Did you stop to consider the possibility that they are in this to make money, and that they simply wouldn't be able to justify charging more for samples than what the equipment used to produce them actually costs?
Hardware is, above all else, expensive and slightly less available than software. Vipzone is marketing to newbie producers who have little experience with hardware and/or can't afford it. Even if they could produce better sounds on software, they wouldn't be able to make any money doing it.

Maybe that should tell you something about their target audience. I've never known any experienced producer who bothers with them. |
