Does the average listener really care if its analog?

Serious question. Do you think all the people who listen to music composed with Access Viruses, Nord Leads, Waldorfs etc actually care ??

Some might but most won't.

I frankly do not see why it would....

Not in the slightest. Then again, most listeners couldn't care less about nearly everything we obsess about here... then wonder why some one person's product sounds better than another's. Most vexing, that. :hihi:
Wait... loot _then_ burn? D'oh!

If it sounds good, most listeners won't care about whether it's made with Synth1 or with Access Virus, except some audiophiles...

...but even as a musician, when I listen to a song, I don't ask for a list with all used synths & effects, either. :shrug:

All a listener wants from a song is for it to be memorable so they can keep it on their playlist.

How you get the song to be memorable may or may not involve analog.

So the short answer is no, the average listener will not even think about it. Most likely they will say to themselves, "Wow! That sound is so cool! How-de-do-dat?!"

The average listener wouldn't understand the question.

Yes, and if you explained it to them, the look on their face would answer the OP's question. :lol:

The average self-proclaimed analog snob can't even tell the difference between real analog and a decent VA in mix. So, no, the average listener doesn't know or care either.

The Virus and Nord Lead are not analog

Post

probably not, all the average listener cares about is if the song is about pimps, money, guns, drugs and hos :shrug:

Freudian approach: Trying to convince yourself that you don't need analog gear? :D

But no, i don't think anyone would care. And as already had been said, it's doubtable whether even audiophiles are able to hear the difference.

No.

They don't give a crap..........

There are audiophiles who make music?
