I do enjoy using some of my softsynths such as Atmosphere, but on limited use only. I can grow tired of the sound after a while, it's a little thin and bland at the same time. IMO alot of the softsynths lack the essential dynamics that fill a track with that special bite that analog hardware has to offer. Even rom based hardware synths are nicer to use most of the time. They are less fussy on the cpu and just get on with it.
A few months back i was thinking differently, until i started to collect more hardware synths this year including some analogs and some VA's. I think hardware offers a solid approach to sound design, and yes it takes more time to record audio parts, etc. But i find that i always end up with a solid sound that i know is going to work without a second thought. I cannot say the same for software.
IMHO you need a bit of both. |
yes....using both is great....depends of your needs. I also learned after spending lot of money and time, that its great to have a few HW synths that you can lear to use from the inside out...unlike soft synths that usually get updated to new versions , besides because of softwares you can pick up amazing hardware synths for almost the price of a software.....In the begginig its sooo easy to become a soft synth slut.
Now I want to lear to use the real thing at my studio, and have no problem with using soft synth when travelling.
thats the beauty.....you can use them both, depends of what you need and when you need it.
