all guys talk about, who is better, which album is better, which song is better, also all you guys can listen music, but who can make music ? so it would (will?) be intersting, what do you prefer, software or hardware ? both ? HARDWARE VS. SOFTWARE! I Vote for Hardware. |

2 hardware 0 software i like hardware more, cuz it's more stable than software and you've got more the control with faders and knobs, also realtime is better that step. |
||||||||

i don't have anything against hardware - but i'll vote SOFTWARE imho .. much more versatile, [in terms of having it all on the one screen, i like to work that way], takes up less space, costs less !!! this is a biggie ... and with a good soundcard, you can hardly tell the difference .. etc. etc. |

analog sound is fatter that even virtual digital sound. it's hard to bring a KORG synthtune in a computer. so give me a solution, to turn 2knobs at the same time on a computer ,) Hardware 2 Software 1 |

Software!! But I wouldn't have said that a year ago.. |
||||||||
|

phat boy!!!, control freak, (spose thats counted as hardware) - but then so is a keyboard and mouse! but then .. there is lots of software in like samplers and the like so .. :) re: the analogue thing .. most synths out there are virtual analog .. perhaps the vs. should be digital vs analog??? :) 'ch bi in basel gebore .. mi schweitzer dütsch isch nümmi so guet . ? :/ vorallem g'schriebes |

right now at this moment in my life...I will have to go with Software.... I do not have money at the present time for Hardware.... |
||||||||

|
software can't beat hardware ,) 2:2 |
||||||||
|

|
|
which is the difference? hardware for what? software for what? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Software, its the future nah mean. |
||||||||
|
|

You can make phat ass beats with just your laptop. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I'll vote for Software. Although I'd rather have the things as hardware that I've as software now ;-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah software is good for recording, also good for mastering, but for filtering, REALTIME (the magic word, that no one artist won't do it more) triggering and control, software will never beat hardware! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
making music ... eg. software synth (FM7) vs hardware synth (clavia nord) software sampler (HALion) vs hardware sampler (AKAI 5000) software vocoder (? - orange something) vs hardware (Electrix Warp factory) etc. etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
one day .. one day ! cards like creamware lunaII and such .. have pretty low latencies .. technology will come through i'm sure :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats why I'm building a new computer to use soft synths...I'm so excited! But seriously, software has opened up so many door to aspiring musicians that wouldn't have normally been able to afford to get into it. Even if you don't get cracked stuff there is lots of free stuff that if you persevere with you can get some good results....the possibilities are endless |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd like to see you guys how d'you to more things at the same time on a computer g. i just use VST plug ins, some softsynths, but i DON'T use a sampler or sequencer like reason or fruityloops (i like cubase). how do you want use reason on a live gig ? anyway hardware 2 software 4 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
need one mention REAKTOR!!! :) hard ware is pretty cool.. if i had a shit load of splosh to splash around - i undoubtedly would get some .. but .. etc. blearh .. blah .. and blop |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i use many software korban, also reaktor, recycle, rebirth (i just test it actually) wavelab, soundforge, many vst plug ins, fm7, just xperiment with all things i got... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
reason is the tops for live work - ed dmx uses it for his PA's |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like software.. only real hardware i have is this lil ol yamaha dj-x i haven't messed with much other hardware tho. but i really like software because you can churn out all kinds of new sounds, with hardware it is definitely more hands on but you have all these sounds built in already and presets, would seem limiting. software gives me a more expansive feel. i vote SOFTWARE |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
que, wihtout controllers ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
everybody get a precisionist with a mouse and 2 buttons. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah .. i reckon a healthy combo of both would be ideal ... hey map, so you know peff then? just at this point in time i'm quite taken by what software can do - |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uh what? heeh everyone is more precise using pcs? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im way perfectionist :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i saw Florian Hecker live a bit more than a year ago now, and he used his G3 laptop w. mouse, combined with a numark effects unit .. this seemed to be quite a nice combination for what he was doing. ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if the time came for a live show.. i think id work out just bringing my pc and using my dj-x to trigger the different midi channels or however that works. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true, the combination of the 2 elements is a perfect solution. so... i would use a computer for send midi sysex messages to configure the soundgenerators (i use an AKAI S2000 with 8 out's and a Boss DR770 Drummachine, the outs goes to a 16ch mixer, perfect for muting and eqing the tracks) also use the computer to run a soft synth, like virsyn or rebirth (303 section and trigger the pc via midi, play patterns or instruments) the boss dr770 drummachine has a sequencer, also i have got an alesis mmt8 8track hardware midi sequencer, so i can switch between the 2 machines (master - slave) and trigger various rhythms on the sampler, or drummachine, also computer. for efx i use the computer too, the audiophile recording card would be good for that i hope, the sound goes thru a VST effect routed direct to the out, direct monitoring, so i hope i have a low latency, and i goes back to the mixer.. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
sorry for my english.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
quite some setup :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh i forgot the old yamaha psr510 keyboard, i'm on think what i should to with that... trigger break samples or seomthing like that... my system is still growing up :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes i believe so, you can set the computer keyboard keys to control mutes/solos/pattern changes etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you have a site with some o' yo music on it? be quite keen to hear some .. i reckon, if i were to get some hardware, i'd get a 909, as a 16 step midi sequencer? and an effex box (numark? or sum such) .. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
id prolly just use modplug tracker or sonar and have the channels output as seperate midi channels anc control stuff with my dj-x, like all those fun knob twiddling things :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
map that was .. :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
korben, a site will come yes... but actually i want do more things, xperiment with all things in realtime, that's my dream, controlling each sound on a setup, fast change, non-static rhythms and so on... so i need a big fat controller. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Map, is your audiphile card the 2496? I'm thinking about getting that...I want to use lots of soft synths and was wondering what its like |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
um .. dang, now where did i see it .. i think it was from the native instruments site .. had a rackmountable 10knob controller module .. lemme check! i think there is also a new control freak out which is quite potent?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah .. i too am contemplating purr-chasing that card. seems quite stable / good alround type deal from what i've heard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but probably wont for quite some time - hehe.. such is life |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
B3n... i ordered the card, i get it in 1 1/2 weeks, what i rode seems to be positive about all of the card, very good driver support for all systems, w9x,me,2000,xp,mac, include asio,gsif,direct-x,wdm and so on.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kenton control freak and the native instruments 4 control (sold out currently) - but there used to be a link from the 4control thing to the rackmountable piece .. which i can't find anywhere now. was quite nice to look at with lcd displays and what have you :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
u prolly already checked but might be worth checking http://www.kenton.co.uk/ control freak - studio + control freak - live ?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, its either that or a substantially more expensive one |
