Re: [LAU] Hardware synths

I think that I invoked some defense of software synths that wasn't my intention. When I said a/b I had meant to point out that there is little difference in sound other than the biased and guarded perceptions of the owners/implementers. What is 'better' anyway? What is thicker? Cognitive dissonance justifying your recent purchase? if you've ever seen (or are) a professional audio engineer go up against your garden variety nutjob 'audiophile' you know what I'm talking about. .. or watched an engineering team argue over which tens of thousands of dollar analog equipment 'must have' to use only to run it through an effects box with radio shack converters in mastering. equipment doesn't matter. the sound matters. I'm working on my first album since my stint in Faith & Disease some 15 years ago and when it is finished I will defy anyone to tell me that linux limited me in any way. best brad
