this is opening the can of what OBX emu is better can of worms.acYm wrote:has someone used obxd for a while then upgraded to op-x pro and found it was totally worth it? that's what I'd like to know.
comparing obxd and opx to a real obx is also opening another can of worms too...acYm wrote:well, yeah I mostly meant "upgraded" monetarily, in the sense of going from a free synth to a somewhat costly one.
I only care about the core sound and indeed obxd, to me, delivers some impressive sonics, however, the good thing about this forum is that it's full of people who were playing an actual obx in 85 when I was born, and have a better idea than me which one of the two vst's nails the actual oberheim sound that little bit more convincingly... that's what's I'm wondering about...

and was clearly the best choice for it, sounding better than everything else that's come out since is a bit of a stretch. For one thing, it has a very limited sound pallet. There are tons of sounds that it simply can't make. In short, if I had to rely on this synth for everything I did, I couldn't.
Does it sound better than a "lot" of synths that have come out since? Sure. All? Don't really think I'd go that far.Also the Vocoloid, I would rather hear YOU sing personally. Believe me, I can relate because I cannot sing worth crap also, but I would rather hear a human voice....even if it was less than perfect. Just use some Autotune and do multiple takes and I'm willing to bet that you would sound much more interesting than Vocoloid.
Personally that Vocoloid voice really freaks me out....sounds downright creepy and disturbing....what one would hear on the radio in a dystopian future.
I listened to this because it was probably my favorite Howie song and I'm glad I did. You did a great job on the replication of the important sounds. Only thing that detracted from the song for me was the timing of the vocal.wagtunes wrote:So I'd rather have a robot voice that doesn't crack and is on key than my wretched excuse for a voice.

You will learn absolutely nothing by taking a defensive stand and assuming that you are an authority on every musical matter...
The vocals are crap and the tambourine is way too loud in the verses and both of these elements detract from the better parts of the music...
One of the things I have always loved about music is that it speaks for itself....
That's where all of the rhetoric and the BS stops and the truth is revealed
Exactly because you dont give a crap about anything dont take critisism and being arrogant and beyond others is the reason why you feel like being attacked (and later probably really getting attacked).wagtunes wrote:Except it goes way beyond that.digitalboytn wrote:You shouldn't just dismiss their criticisms by assuming that they are attacking you personally...wagtunes wrote:NVM not worth my time.layzer wrote:Hmmmm,,,,,Theres OP-X sounds in this? all i can hear is a blaring tamborine in this mixwagtunes wrote: While I used it exclusively for the key sounds in my Howard Jones cover...

Vocals? Nobody likes Vocaloid vocals around here. I can't do anything about that. I can't sing. Period.
The tambourine? Fine, I go turn that down a couple of DB or EQ it some more and recompile. Takes 5 minutes.
Guess what?
The people here who despise the ground I walk in will find something else to rip apart.
That's why I don't give a crap about what these guys say because in their case, it's out of hatred and it will be never ending.
That's why none of this is worth anymore time than I've already given it which is way too much time.
Where do you see written in such topics "post a song where you used this or another synth"? You see you put your music out of nowhere then you get critisism and you start raging how others are being dicks to you and how its theyr fault. Dont you realise that you who is actually being a dick to others and you ask this by yourself? Behave and treat others like you would want to be treaten by others and you wount get "attacked".
note that if you are told this by all the people it means that it does sound really that bad

Are You for real?Elektronisch wrote:How is your vocaloid tune is even related to this topic????
Yes i am because this song is not related due to the fact that for a mixdown you still have to use post processing, like eq, reverbs, compression. Even with a trained ear you wouldnt be able to tell a difference between OPX or OBDX or in this case basicly any analog emulation. Other then that there are other sounds that are not comming from synthesizer like claps, tambourine ect and famous vocaloid screaming all over the track.Kumi_27 wrote:wagtunes wrote:While I used it exclusively for the key sounds in my Howard Jones cover...Are You for real?Elektronisch wrote:How is your vocaloid tune is even related to this topic????
Wagtunes put here a song made almost entirely with OP-X, pointing out that it's good synth but it's not "best of all and best for all".
And You're asking, how is it related to the topic?
