| i guess it really comes down to:
sample vs algorithmic
and how much tweaking you are going to do vs how busy the mix is.
a sample tweaked will never sound like its analog counter part. period.
a va tweaked sounds similar to its analog counter part, the differences lost in the mix, unless A/B'd directly, or tweaked to extremes.
an analog sound can be tweaked all day and night and sound good, but can be hard to control if not 100% midifiable
for me, the ability to tweak tone, snap, decay in realitime via knobs means a solid piece of drummachine kit is well worth it (eg jomox 999). |
