They're also software!

Peter, im not a musician, but i have a good ear. IMO, software, real gear, to me it doesnt matter, if its good music, why should it matter? some people are just plainly ****** retentive on certain things, consider this one of them. Steve Humphries of Create used or uses software synths, and he did a fabulous job especially his first cd which i was hooked on composed if im not mistaken all on software synths, he did a phenomenal job and holds up well to some of the better EM cds out there composed with real gear.
Thanks!
Yes my first two Cd's Reflections From The Inner Light and From Earth To Mars were recorded using Reason 2.0/2.5 which is software based.
I use hardware and software when recording.
For me i can enjoy music recorded using hardware or software or even a mixture of both.

No problem with either myself.
The power of a full on hardware modular is where I get my kicks and that hasn't come close in software.
I prefer working on hardware and don't really enjoy being in front of the computer that much. I get excited to sit behind a synth and get lost in making sequences/sounds/noises etc. It's fun. The computer is basically my 24 track. I also mix analogue as there I certainly hear a huge difference.
Might just be me though, but that's the only person I can hear for
On the other hand, taking my iBook anywhere and being able to write is a huge positive.
Plus some soft synths do stuff that hardware can't. The combination is good.
Of course the best softsynth in the world through a budget soundcard that is playing back 24 tracks is not going to do any soft synth any favours..
It all depends what you want to do and how you use it.
Oh and just as many people with just software tell everyone it is as good as hardware. The argument certainly works both ways... It isn't just us hardware owners feeling superior. It's actually lots of the time people with software based systems starting arguments by saying "but why do you use that when the soft version is just as good?"
