| I’m not saying that hardware will always sound better, a plug-in can give you just what you need and if its something different not just an emulation there will be times where no hardware can do the same thing and having every piece of hardware that you can have an emulation of just isn’t feasible anyway. the point is they are two different things and no matter how good an emulation is its not the same as hardware. That doesn’t make it better or worse just that it is different.
I would be interested to hear the hardware unit as a references not because im going to run out and buy an SSL. If all these companies are going to use the 'have every piece of hardware in one box' to sell their products then its fair to make a comparison to the real thing. it doesn’t detract from how good a plug-in is in its own right but it often begs the question of why they call it the same thing as the hardware unit. |
