Sonic Projects OP-X Pro II with a 10 year old synthesis engine still has better sounds than just about all the newer synths.

While I used it exclusively for the key sounds in my Howard Jones cover...

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.

You shouldn't just dismiss their criticisms by assuming that they are attacking you personally...

They are commenting on the music and we can learn a lot by listening to other people's criticism,if we truly open ourselves up to it...

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

Except it goes way beyond that.

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.

It's a pretty good remix, but yes, please turn those tambourines down, they distract from the good stuff you did in the song.

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.

OP-X Sounds Better
