Fairlight CMI & Synclavier!

Are you kidding me?! Like a few people pointed out, with a computer and software, for MUCh less you can do all that and more, BUT also consider this, for that kind of money you cna pick up a used (if you can be so lucky and find one) a used FAIRLIGHT CMI, which was around $200,000 back in the day and did what the Oasis does now only BETTER! Or a Synclavier, we're talking machines that only Sting, Duran and the top artists could afford and they STILL sound unbelievable!

Oasis now? It's just a bad marketing concept considering the alternatives, perhaps if they really went for it and tried to pick up where Fairlight or Synclavier left off.

Go check them out on the internet, their history, their capabilities. Computerwise they are old, but in sonics, there is gear today that still doesn't come close!
