I'll start: It's not about the tools , it's about how you use them. |

honestly.... I think that the best is a nice mix of hardware and software..... it's nice to be able to incorporate both mediums into one diabolical set...... but if you want inexpensive, easy to use.... I'd go software all the way |

If you're into hardware: You'll always have aliasing on software generated sounds. I like being able to touch the synths- it's so much more intuitive. There are no software based delay, reverb or EQ units that match even comparatively cheap hardware ones. If you're into software: One day soon, we'll see softsynths that can do things that could never be created in analogue gear and the need for speciallist digital synths will be redundant due to increased pc power. Sequencing hardware aside from drum machines is gash. Tiny LCD screens and awful user interfaces. For sequencing at least software is the way forward. I'm a "laptop artiste" I crave the freedom being able to shove my whole studio in a rucksack gives me. |

Off topic really but pertinent to your initial statement... I think. Maybe. Dunno? "One thing about any definition of a 'golden age', for me, comes also within music, also within art, also within literature. It is the point where the desires of the creator are greater than the technology which is available. There comes a moment when the technology gets closer and closer to the imagination and creativity of the writer and in the end, if your not careful, it overtakes and suddenly, serendipity - which before was from your own sweat and blood but you created something and thought 'goodness me that was great!' - serendipity comes by saying 'if I press one of these 397 button on this synthesizer maybe I'll get something out of it?' Now at that moment the machinery is driving the creativity and the creativity is not driving the machinery and maybe that is where the golden age stops. Maybe."

I fucked an eskimo, so shttfckp! And I also would like more hardware |

Hardware costs money for each copy of it... if you want 3 of the same fx box, you need to buy three. software allows multiple instances of most things. Software is also piratable. This isn't just handy for nefarious purposes, but it allows you effectively to have two or more studios... for the price of one (well, aside from the pc/soundcard/speakers) I've worked on a track over my parent's house them mailed it to myself so I can continue working on it elsewhere. I've even done this with midi files to my work email account and made basslines/melodies on company time. Not that that's anything to be proud of, *ahem*. |
