hardware or software
#1
which do you work with more? and why?
#2
Hi,
In my opinion hardware is more solid and reliable. Vst instruments are more fragile but worth working with. It's also a matter of preference.Main thing is? whatever you work with is not important as long as it sounds ok and when it works stable.
I should say, the best of both worlds and whenever it suits your purpose and you feel happy with it , that's all you need.

exactly! if you can use both to get the sounds you want...thats great, i like to use the solid stuff more, and i like the fact that i dont have to haul my computer everywhere if i want to jam...thats when a laptop would be very good to have

I really like some of my old hardware but with Reason I'm almost unlimited in how many synths I can use. And to have that many synths in hardware would cost a fortune.

Still need one good keyboard tho.

EXACTLY! good point also, there is no way most musicians could have a lineup like that without spending $10,000's

one good piece of hardware is good enough for me also, otherwise, things get too complicated and expensive

I actually have a good mix of both. I have four hardware synths and many software synths, which make for a great combination for creating new sounds. Since I refuse to use stock synth sounds, I'm creating all my own and I have everything I need to do that, with the Oberheim Matrix 12 and Absynth serving as my primary sound creation tools. Both are trouble-free and very reliable and, with Midiquest as my editor/librarian, I can save and organize all my new sounds and quickly and easily recall them, making my old analog MIDI synths quite powerful.

I prefer Hardware i only have 2 synths, a Tone Generator and Mixing desk with Basic EFX
