    **wow, don't be so quick to judge. I've been producing music in my project-studio for quiet some time, even mastering and cutting them to vinyl, and i can tell you they both have their merits. And the sound of a well-kept vintage minimoog, oberheim, korg or roland are really something special which you cannot reach easily or even never with software.**


    Sound quality wise when it comes to cutting vinyl it really doesn't compare you loose a whole lot . As far as the synths you can get a number of vsti's that will sound just as good better or good enough I like having synths that sound exactly the same every day and don't sound better when it's less humid or what ever affects their sound on a day to day basis .


    **But even more important: workflow. Using a good hardware sequencer like the mighty yamaha RM1x or RS7000, or an akai MPC with some good hardware synths with direct control really gives very different results and instant acces than compared to using software.**

    If you are still using the MPC and RM1x but have Ableton as well you are using ableton completely wrong . A couple controllers laid out well with Ableton will give you jast as instant of acces .


    **you can buy an fully expanded Yamaha RS7000 for little money these days, add a microkorg, or a nord micromodular, or a moog little phatty, or a dave smith mopho,**


    Or get a new computer and do more than just produce music on it .

    As far as minimal sounding boring sorry it's not Ableton or the DA converters it's the producers plain and simple .

    You know I was thinking the same thing. Axiom + Ableton feels like I'm using a workstation keyboard. And I can even *gasp* record my analogue synths easily?

    Trust me you're not the first producer(?) to try to tell everyone that soft synths suck and can't produce a warm sound or whatever.

    Heck, everyone trashed the Access Virus for a while because it wasn't really Analogue, same with the Juno series! But now they are staples of the industry.

    Ultimately using only software is a GREAT solution for a user who is curious but may not have the money to invest in setting up an hardware studio. Everyone will eventually end up picking up a synth or two if they're continued interest in production stays.

    But what do I know...

    Obviously, Monika, not all that much. Your intellect is directly proportional to how much you agree with the other side

    As long as he does it all on hardware and masters to a cassette deck that's cool

    lol what a hilarious thread,

    Im thinking there were a few language barriers going on here, the posters discussion was not very consistent.

    Im thinking he was trying to encourage more discussion about anlalogue gear, but the way in which he phrased his first post kind of made it sound more like an attack on digital.

    But seriosly, Ableton has poor workflow ? ermm.....
