So many claim that we have some softsynths around that can emulate analog synths more or less precisely. Fine, if this is the case could you more or less precisely emulate the timbres of these examples? I will certainly buy your products if you get close enough

(from about 1.00 to 1.50)

I am not even an analog freak, I use software for everything and have some old analogs collecting dust at the roof. But these examples are :o :-o :shock: in my ears. Analog Solutions has really nailed something here.

Must be system related, because they're not in mine ! :hihi:

Who the f.... is DJ Anthony and what does he has to do with anything related to this?

Mines? Like coal-mines? Now why would you play these videos down in some mines in the first place?

He's KVRs digital vs analog evangelist. He calls people like me "elitist" because I can hear the difference.

I can hear the difference too. :) I use analog synths for analog sounds and digital synths for digital sounds. Strange huh?

Lol :hihi:. Tipo. I thought "mine", of course.

Try to emulate the sounds in the video with another analogue synth of a different brand, and see how close you get with that. What's the point... every synth sounds different.

Some nice sounds there though.

Nice sounds.

But can it emulate my beloved Synth1 ? Highly doubt it... :)

Ay caramba !

Let's see an analogue synth emulate the default preset in NI Razor. Then I'll be impressed.

Another very good example here.

Analog Bass: 1:22 - 1:40


Heard about 50 million and one software synths.

Never heard one that could replicate THAT kind of character, let alone perfectly.

(And the sound in that clip is already digitized too, probably even compressed. This means in a SynthOut->AmpIn scenario the analog character would be all the more pronounced.)

I don't think anyone is arguing that analog can sound digital ...

God analog is so boring. I wish people would stop trying to emulate it and move on.

Sorry but I love digital warmth.

Every sound is just a waveform in the end, thus it can be reproduced by analog system as well as digital.

I agree that some of recordings you linked are impressive, but that's only a proof that digital synth developers are not smart enough to reproduce this, not that's completely impossible ;)
Also, an attempt to emulate nonlinearity, saturation or (thermal) noise in analog circutry with digital numbers is always handicaped to begin with. Every engineer knows that some things are better solved in analog or in digital and there's little point to enforce one as another.

Another theory: it is possible to reproduce analog sound with digital synth, but it's not profitable as digital synths are generally cheaper and can be cracked, unlike analog devices. So professionals (especially in teams) who could really cut it are not interested in doing so ;)
