You're speaking for yourself, but what makes no sense to you can be perfectly valid for someone else. Limitation is a powerful factor in creativity, and yes, the process can be as important as the result. Just different approaches/ philosophies.BONES wrote: Tue Feb 25, 2025 12:24 am That's only true if you worry more about the process than the result, which makes no sense. That's why I've never really thought about synths in that way. V/A, FM, Phase Distortion, Additive, Wavetable, whatever... it's how good they sound that matters to me, not how they go about doing it.That's always going to be the case. You could probably do everything you want with just one Synapse synth or just one U-He synth, too. Different instruments will take you to different places and there are always some things that are easier to get from one instrument than from another. In my experience, if you do everything with just one synth, you'll limit yourself somewhat. Choice is a good thing.Papuzzo wrote: Sat Feb 22, 2025 6:44 pmAfter investing quite a bit of money in U-He and Synapse Audio synths, I realized that 99.99% of what I need can be done with Surge XT.
Someone noted this has turned into an old synth thread. I'd be interested to learn how many of you still use 32-bit VSTi or effects or even DAWs (e. g. Reaper can still be installed in 32-bit with each new update). Last year I discovered that far more plugin companies still offer 32-bit installers than expected, although some are deprecating them. I strongly feel it's a world that should be preserved.
