Sure, me being able to plug my guitar into any amp and play is just the same as you creating a tenuous at best emulation layer in your modern OS to host some VST and old VST host and use some MIDI program that may or may not be able to talk to the open OS emulating software in your setup and communicate with your modern DAW. Yeah, exactly the same, no issues.JunSev wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2019 10:40 pmNo I'm sorry you're very wrong here, don't do over generalizations on things that simply are not true in all the cases:machinesworking wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2019 9:49 pmI have a 1978 Gibson Les Paul Pro I bought in 1998 for $450.
Software fades over time, needs updates that cost money, goes extinct etc.
It doesn't, there are virtual machines and I know I can continue using that software even for decades if needed.Software fades over time
Uh no, some companies offers even lifetime free updates; where is your paid upgrade?needs updates that cost money
Also again I can continue using the same software with virtual machines if necessary with some not-restrictive OS.
No it doesn't, I have my products and my keys saved in my external hard drive and in any case if I want to install the same compatible OS and virtual machine in my future pc It continues being there, is not eternal, but it could outlive me easily.goes extinct etc
I had to, with all respect.
The fact is software out now is temporary, because none of us do what you're suggesting, we simply move on, replace VSTs with new ones etc. etc. To pretend that software has anything like the longevity of hardware is just hard headed thinking. Now, with a lot of things this isn't an issue. Who wants to use GigiStudio when we have Kontakt? UVI? etc.
