Fourth decade? And you got your first synth in 85? That would have made you 5 wouldn't it?

I like real synths over software synths in the same way as I like driving a real car instead of playing Forza.

I mean I like both, but only one of them is actually real

(analog)hardware synths make sense to me on just their sound alone...

im talking pure analog ,not VA crap

I mean working entirely in the computer is super beneficial ,just load that track up and everything is in time and in tune!im nearly 40yo and come from the old hardware days and trust me workflow withing a computer is miles better than the old hardware days

ive done the soft synth thing for the last 10 years and im now a little bored and it is the mouse that is the problem and maybe not so much the sound

the old analogs are back out and im loving em!,no presets,out of time midi problems,crackling knobs are all back but man...THAT SOUND OF ANALOG-YOU JUST CANNOT BEAT IT

It's a good age to be. See a synth you like? Buy it! No more saving it for months/years to get it

I'm not convinced that the Virus, 8080, JD800, Nord Lead, Radias, Waldorf Q etc etc etc are actually that crap.

Yeah mate.. back in the day i had to work months for a synth.. now the kids can just come along with a laptop and a few plugins and knock stuff out.. just ain't the same as real knobs i don't care what anybody says

I learned keyboard in my childhood, too.

But this was my first instrument in the late 70ies...it had such a great analog sound, and by combining them all, it was like having 4 oscillators...
