good story.
But for me there is no difference between hard or soft-synths
between analogue, digital or virtual.
people who used analogs often used taperecorders, what is the different between a taperecoder and a sampler?? it is just a way to store sounds.
about presets, well using papersheets with the settings of the knobs is the same as storing an preset in a digital synth or VST.
only the tuning of an analog synth is different, but is that good or not??
I do not know, I think that's personal.
What I hate is the use of presets made by others, but that's also personal.
also using of samples not made by the artist himself is not good in my eyes.
Do we get better music?? I think that it does not make any difference.
It is only the artist who makes the music.
Ok, some artists do it simple by using musical bits of others, and mixed it into simple tracks, but is the quality better or not?? that is up to the listener.
But the most important thing is to create a musical piece, that the artist likes
As answer on the question "if there were no analogue synth" I would say, what was the starting point of Berlin School? Did TD used synths on their first album?? Probably only the use of sequencers made BS great.
But that are my thoughts.

Software is great when it comes to "producing" music, i. e. the final product that is the result of hours of labour. Software-based mastering can do some amazing tricks you could only do with outboard equipment at the price of a decent semi-detached house. This is great stuff I would not wish to live without. But if it comes to making music, you need proper instruments that are *musical*. If you are a real musician and not only a twiddling with a computer mouse, that is.
One of the reasons why I find 99% of all EM that boring.
Well try this track,
Live Rehearsals At Spacemission-01-Grunn Live Project.
http://www.4shared.com/file/53…oject.html
totally done LIVE with the PC as hardware, together with an AN1x; no software used for production and mastering, except of the fades and normalizing. No software used for playing the notes, only to run the VSTi's
No mouse used, the vsti's are played with the AN1x-keyboard.
Can someone tell which part is by software and what by hardware??
All sounds are self-made presets, no samplers involved.
No musical lessons, I try to forget them
created in 30 min
no overdub etc
definitely boring, and I like it :twisted:
