You haven't heard a Kurzweil K2000, Calvin Board, v1 with a half-broken DAC yet. Or a Yamaha MU-15. Both directly connected to a RME ADC.Prototype wrote:People say its a matter of opinion but im not buying it. I've always mixed ITB, but I've never heard a soft synth as "full" as hardware. Ever.
I more than often need to apply drastic EQ in order to let these sounds fit better in uber-modern and uber-produced sounds scapes and samples.
Hardware can sound different, but I wouldn't say better. It's always a matter of the output, read for digital synths: the DAC of both the synth and your computer. And how well your synths are programmed of course.
