You did a lot of organizing since the last time you posted a picutre. It looked like a pre-interior decorator version.

 

that's A LOT of $$

 

i bet this guy LIVES for the music

 

Sorry, but it's really DELULU to think hardware VA Synths do sound better than 100% correct emulations like the usual subjects stuff. Kate, you are just biased and you just prefer to work with hardware, and thats really cool, I love hardware, too but I don't think that I can hear the differences between an ostirus and a hardware virus ...... If you can hear any differences, please explain them well

 

plugins sound plastic.. well some of them.. hardware sounds bigger. wider. more present. plus some hardware have top effects inbuilt

 

I will only buy hardware synths with unique sound and that I can't find in vst's... but to each their own.

Hello @Kate Middleton, you are generalizing; there are plenty of shades of gray—please make some finer distinctions.

 

Ultimately whatever keeps you going, if piece of gear unlocks your attention, dedication and desire to make better music, then go for it, even if it's ultimately just placebo or bias, it worked in your favor and am all for it. Every day we wake up and try to figure out why we are even trying, same with music, if piece of hardware can do this, get that box and have a blast.
