you cannot compare a dry synth patch to a sound in a mix; your perception of the sound in the mix will be completely skewed by everything else that's going on. deep bass, sparkly hats, and lush verb will make the synth sound huge, even though the odds are that if you were in the mix room and hit solo on the other guy's motif track it'd sound tiny and bandpassed.

context is everything. write the song, mix the mix, *then* tell us how your motif sounds.

Lol, I sent you a song a lot of months ago and you said it was great!

But thanks for your input. I'm not trying to blame the equipment here. I just find the dry sounds uninspiring.

Mind one thing I noticed, you dont get many patches for your money!!!
