Software vs Hardware

Software sounds more analog to my ears

A Softube Model 80 sound more analog than a real Prophet V
Good for you. Why not

In my four decades of home studios setups this by far the most inspiring, productive, and relaxing setup I have ever had

Well fair play, and thanks for sharing.

If it works it works. And the two different setups for FM and VA is an interesting way to do it.

Always nice to see other ways of doing the things. This is definitely novel to me.

If Hans Zimmer was only half as cool, as some in this thread are presuming, he would have called himself Hans Schimmer.

It is the Regular artist worship that turns into a HW worship fever and if they only buy what Artist X or Y is using they will be as great as their Idols

Not sure I see all the HZ talk quite like that. I mean there's no denying he (and his very talented team) have done some cracking soundtracks and his music is played on high quality IMAX systems and sounds great.

The fact that he uses cubase and soft synths really just shows that these tools can be used for anything, which is a very good thing for people to know. And of course I've championd software blindly.

HZ of course also uses amazing vocalists and musicians, and is happy to score things up for orchestras as needed as well. So it's not as if he only uses softsynths.

But he is using softsynths, and also pushing software developers to improve their products. Not sure there is much downside.

If Hanz Simmer was the pro he claims to be, he would also run his software thru his hi-end hardware.

There is no high end hardware. Why would he degrade a sound one of his minions spent several minutes creating?

I get the fact that you are trying to get banned again but what part of I have my DAW and every plugin I care about on every computer do you not understand?

The part where you think having more than one computer is a good, or even a sane, thing. (See the last part of my post yesterday about the worst of both worlds.)

i get up and move because my back demands it. It's what happens when you get old and have been in two car accidents.

I think I'm older than you but obviously a much better driver, although I did spend 12 years tramping around the bush with my house on my back, so my back ain't exactly in pristine condition these days, either.

I enjoy making sounds and don't care about trying to make the East German Industrial Chart as a Nine Inch Nails ripoff band but hey you do you

That's the perfect comment to illustrate something I was saying the other day on another thread. If NIN is your only reference to what we do, it just shows your level of ignorance of the genres. We're not even in the same one as they are and we don't sound even remotely like them.

Yes my driving skills made me get rear ended by a truck when I was stopped with a bunch of other cars at a traffic light

And my driving skills made me get hurt in a school bus accident in 4th grade when a drunk driver was driving home from all night bender and hit my school bus

The reality is I have never caused an accident of any kind

Thanks however for showing us all how awesome you think you are. It's hilarious

Yes it does illustrate things perfectly. As you have made it ABUNDANTLY clear on this thread and every other one you participate in on KVR there are Synths/plugins that BONES likes and there are Synths that BONES hates. There is a workflow and computer setup that Bones likes and there are workflows and setups Bones doesn't like

What you make abundantly clear between the personal insults and profanity laced diatribes that lead to your bannings is that for you there is one way if working and only certain instruments are acceptable

If anyone dares to stray from what you think is the only way to make music with tools you approve of they are insulted, called mentally ill, and cussed at.

So for you, you have made it ABUNDANTLY clear that there are no genres in music there is only one yours, and as such everyone should make music like you do the. You are the gate keeper and sole judge as to what is acceptable or not

As such in your world I don't need to understand anything about the East German Industrial Charts, as you have already defined what is music and what is not

Now if you are ready to admit you have been wrong, and there are many music genres and as such people that make different types of music than you also want/need different tools and work differently than you do awesome

But as long as you hold yourself up as the sole arbiter of truth and pretend there is only one music genre why should anyone care about the East German Industrial Chart genre?

Most of us probably think your setup is insane, the difference is we respect your commitment!

He's like the highest paid composer for film in the world. I don't know that he is, or has to, claim anything at all.

[gentleclockdivider]

Does having a room full of computers make you feel special or something? It seems like a special kind of sad to me.

I lolled so hard

[zerocrossing]

If Hanz Simmer was the pro he claims to be, he would also run his software thru his hi-end hardware.

Next time I see him claiming how pro he is, I'm going to grab him by the lapel and shake him like a rag doll, yelling, "BRO DO YOU EVEN PLUGIN!"

I totally love the idea of having everything so orderly and near to hand- this is something I aspire to with my own much more humble set up. I think Mr Birds sort of setup would end up stressing me out. My issue would be how much I would struggle to keep track of everything. Hell, I struggle to remember more than 10 shortcuts in Bitwig.

That could just be decades of psychedelics and other assorted drugs of abuse having rendered my short term memory pretty much optional.
