Stop being so logical and sensible, it confuses people :)

Yup, that's most likely the one i was referring to.
I was pretty young and my memory regarding names has always been dreadful, but this one rings a bell.

Most things i remember from his vids was something in the line of “a little touch here and there“ while making a few seemingly mundane hand moves, instantly resulting in some of the most jaw dropping awesome “shit“ :o
The name rings all kinda different bells for me ever since Utica did Bob Ross in snatch game with a head full of little plush squirrels for an afro,for reasons only Utica understood

what kind of orchestra has a player with a stradivarius in chair one and a 50 quid off amazon in 3rd?

and yes, i imagine you would hear the difference, unless you had cloth ears full of wax and fluff.

Even if it were the seventh violin and you did not notice, then you'd be probably better at painting.

What orchestra? Today it's a laptop on a stage with Kontakt's Orchestra Library playing midi from a DAW. Why a concert venue and conductor would have to spend money and time on musicians, practice and instruments when nobody can hear a difference anyway.

He or she can check it on the tablet he/she is using to play the virtual violin.

Ok, I understand how late it is, they do not match the violins I get from Synth1. But the Strads come close!

Only the worlds top violinists get to play a genuine Stradivari violin, and they would almost certainly be solo violinist who have long graduated from sitting down with the rest of the orchestra.Judge for yourself the difference in this video of a $69 vs $10,000,000 Stradivarius Violin - Ray Chen..........

As for me, I like some freeware, some cheap stuff, and some not to cheap. *shrug*
Mostly any free analogue emulations of real hardware. PG-8x - Dexed - Klv-64 - OB-Xd - JUN 21 - Synth 1 - oxevst - etc.

Any new suggestions to add are always welcome.
Klv-64 ? Is that something from Klevgrand?

The unfortunate thing for that kind of argumentation is that noone, I mean, really, NOONE who plays professionally in an orchestra would play a $50 violin from Amazon. No matter if he/she plays it alone or not.

So, yeah, logical? Sensible? Not really. It's no fun and not inspiring to play on an instrument which is neither fun nor inspiring. That said, it's perfectly fine if Synth1 inspires you. There's not really any reason why the developer wouldn't charge money for it. That said, if I had the choice between Synth1 and Spire, I would buy Spire over Synth1, every day. Simply because I think it's the much better instrument. In any regard.

I just had to think of two people who visit a restaurant, and one gets served a 30 € per kilo steak, and the other one a steak from the discount store, and they both have nothing but praise for the quality of the steak. I wonder what the cook thinks about it.
