It's also a matter of preference.Main thing is? whatever you work with is not important as long as it sounds ok and when it works stable. I should say, the best of both worlds and whenever it suits your purpose and you feel happy with it , that's all you need. regards chris at www.tsunamimusic.be | ||

30 posts | 6 Posted on 09/23/2005 at 23:02 I actually have a good mix of both. I have four hardware synths and many software synths, which make for a great combination for creating new sounds. Since I refuse to use stock synth sounds, I'm creating all my own and I have everything I need to do that, with the Oberheim Matrix 12 and Absynth serving as my primary sound creation tools. Both are trouble-free and very reliable and, with Midiquest as my editor/librarian, I can save and organize all my new sounds and quickly and easily recall them, making my old analog MIDI synths quite powerful. | ||
