Diva Vs. Real Analog

EDIT: ...facepalms and all that

[trimph1]

mmmmmm...well, you have a choice.

You can...

1)-not buy it but
2)-use whatever works your crank.

me?

I'm proposing to buy this thing once floor wars pt 2 is finished in mah house...

I actually don't give a shit how much high quality hardware costs and if I did I'd purchase the real deal and free myself of all the bullshit softsynths offer me.

Soft Synths are exactly what they say on the tin. Soft.

Sure there are a lot of mugs here that will do anything to find an edge over their competitors in the vain hope that they can somehow purchase success but I am not one of them.

An hour before.......

Having said that it sounds really good and I wish him all the success in the future because we need developers who try to offer something new, something brave.

I am still a huge fan of Zebra which never fails to bring a smile to my face when I want to dial up something new and unusual.

well, check out some of his other posts around here, seems he really loves some soft synths, even tho they are a rip off

[Fritze]

I got psychoanalytics and Logic's channel eq to null. It's clearly placebo.

You know, but I can hear a difference...






Eh, sorry!

[whyterabbyt]

Dont get me wrong I am all for the developers making a cool return for their hard work but I am sure Urs said he'd returned his entire research and development costs within a week or so of releasing it.

So you're saying that he'd made absolutely nothing at that point? Okay.... I can see why you'd think that it was overpriced, even though it was heavily reduced. You'd prefer him to have made less than nothing at that point... that makes sense.

That suggests to me that something isn't quite right.

Indeed. Because, now that he's recouped his costs, he doesnt need to pay any wages or have an income. Yay!

But even so its a rich mans toy.

Its two pints of beer and a pack of cigarettes a week for 2 months. I guess you're right; no-one who isnt 'rich' could afford that sort of expenditure.

Actually I've never loved softsynths.
I tolerate them.
But feel free to quote some of the posts where I say I love the sound of any soft synth.
Go on Krim I dare you to find a single post where I've said I love the sound of any soft Synth.

I grew up in an age where talent counted for far more than anything that you could buy.

Hardware Synths give you something tangible, something you can touch. Something you can't download from another torrent site and something you can prolly sell in many years to come and in some cases at a profit.
Try selling a software license in 10 years time and see how much you will get.
You'd prolly get more for a blunt bic disposable razor.

Really the soft synth era is a ripoff of the highest order (imo)

What kind of rubbish logic is that? Your basically saying that because a soft-synth can be pirated, it has no value.... lmao.
Frankly I don't give a damn where or when you grew up. You do realise that hardware synths have their cons too? Though I don't really want to go there...

Well, of course. But only if you were rich and could afford £90, yeah?

As for the Pro5, well its very much a what you see is what you get kind of synth but I just love the unique sounds it generates with a little tweaking.

I said I love the unique sounds of the Prophet 5.
I never said I loved the sounds of the Native Instruments version of it.
Big differnce.
Trust you to twist and distort what I was saying.

[Kriminal]

and when asked 'what synth cant you live without', he replied 'sylenth1'....so i would imagine he must love it a little bit if he cant live without it

anyone else check his profile to see if he was a newly-joined 'randyandy' alter ego ??

yes you did

from: what is your favourite vst

Z3ta+
Even though it sounds digital to the extreme to my ears.
The Pro5 is a very close second, I think both Vst's compliment each other very well though.

The Z3ta+ imo is a misunderstood Vst due to the strange interface, obviously there's a learning curve involved but it becomes rewarding once you get your head around it.

Its kind of hard to twist and distort something by quoting it without changes, but this was in a thread titled 'What is your favourite VST instrument' and your full reply was

Z3ta+

So I think if anyone is twisting and distorting what you said, then its you, now.

Krim your downfall is you assume too much.
I'll stick with Sylenth though because imo its about the only softsynth I've ever purchased that actually somehow finds its way into every project.

But Love is a strong word and often over used amongst gearheads around this place.
