Ok, what u mean is that the music will be
downsampled to 16/44.1 anyway, because that's
the CD standart . defenetly that what happens .
What i say is that working in 24/96 can improve
the quality of the recording (at certain stages of
recording) , so even after downsampling to 16/44.1
u will get much more detailed and crystal clear
sound on the "reduced resolution" recording .
Another important point is the AD/DA converters
and dithering technique that used for all this shit .
Because some brands of 16/44.1 DAC's can get
much better sound detail than 24/192 DAC's !
Good example is comparing some old "44.1" units
from companys like Digidesign, Apogee, PrismSound
or Sonorus with the newest "96" or "192" units
from M-Audio or Creative etc... By the "numbers"
and all the tech info some new SoundBlaster is
better than let's say SonicSolutions unit from 1997?
Defenetly not , and everyone can hear it when it
comes to a final sound . The difference is big .
About hardware samplers , they all have different
kinds of DAC's and sometimes even the AD can be
from different brand than DA, and it's a known fact
that EMU samplers colorize the sound in some
wierd but cool way , and Akai have very clear sound
i think that Akai sound is just too clean compared
to EMU , but it's hard to say what sounds better ,
they both sounds great . |

Does the Z8 actually degrade the sound, or is it just not adding any sugar "color" to it?
The older akais and emus are nice but they add their own touch to the sound when sampling.

thats for sure....
u can't compare any software today (and also kontakt) to good hardware sampler...

what?????? ever tried exs24????
the soundquality of a sampler is defined by it´s input ie. what you put into it, so if you sample something that sounds shitty then the sampler won´t make it sound better qualitywise. some hardware sampler color the sound. par example: emu samplers makes the sound a bit fuzzy and while some might like that i like to get out what i put in. as hardware goes i started out using akai samplers and stilll like their sound (much more clean compared to emu) but technology has caught up with akai and now i am a strictly softsampler guy.

As i can see, one of the most important differences
between hardware and software samplers is the price ,
because it's a known fact that 99% of software users
didn't pay for it , because it's so easy to download .
There is nothing new about "creating music" in
"software-only" environment, people doing it for years ,
fast-tracker, impulse-tracker etc...
It also depends on the music itself, for example trance
can be written on software only, maybe even easyer than
on hardware, but there is other music genres that almost
impossible to make in software-only environment .
Another point is the term "industry standart" and the way
professional studios work . I can take my Akai SCSI
hardisk from one studio to another, easy .
The phono plugs are a standart also . . .
So why big studios still working with hardware ?
Why professional sound engeneers prefer hardware?
Btw, big studios who work with software also , they
buy it , and it cost money too . |

There will be no such thing as no hardware. It's not profitable and sure lacks some hardware sound.
the future is software based on hardware. This shall elliminate illegal software use - because one will have to buy the hardware for the software to work.
Like the new Waldorf AFB16 (http://www.waldorf-music.com/afb/) for example...
when talking about Hardware effects or synths, there is no comparison mate.
Think that Spektral Delay has to be soo huge and cpu hungry to be able to compare to some gear delays like the TCworks series.
I believe that samplers could be worked out on computers in an easier way and with same results though.
Let's give them time and they will start developing hardware+software bundles - that's the future imho.

Hardware will not die. People like gadgets and they have absolutely no problem paying for them.

And how do you think about the new Softwaresampler: Akai-VZ8 and the Motu-MatchFive? |

In work we use Impulse Tracker 2.14 - sampler.
Maybe Fruity Loops Sampler best sampler in software in the world, but IT sampler give You
crystal and pure sound from the IT writer.
Look at spectral analysist IN and OUT in Fruity and
IT.  |
