Analog vs. Digital (cliche but hey)

[Michirican123]

What up Fam,

Do you think software will ever be able to recreate the sounds that analog synth's/pres/etc make? I have a kurzweil 2500 and even though it's from the mid 90's, it has sounds that are waay nicer than most of the soft synths I use (NI komplete, xpand2, Reason).

I also had the CS-80V arturia plugin and it was great but it really didn't sound as full as I expected.

Any problems with analog synths that you've never had to deal with on software?

Regards, Emiliano

[rjd2? yes, rjd2.]

well analog synths are their own problem unto themselves. LOTS of maintenance, tuning, etc. softsynths MUCH easier.

i have the cs80v. its fun. doesnt sound the same as the real thing to me. softsynths might get 100% there someday, but the other side is that the kind of people who use analog synths are going to have their own way of going about recording-this is going to contribute to those recordings having their own type of "feel". who knows.

Have you tried NI's Massive?

Most definitely, thing is a beast!

I don't want to sound silly but have you tried using a tube to fatten it up a bit?
