nice hacks 
note: to play radiohead song 10 hard disks were used. at a time they were 400$... so 4000 is not so "little"
seriously though,
There are several subjective reasons to buy hardware
subjective:
1. it is more fun to touch misc. knobs, instead of 1 controller
2. hardware "just feels better"
3. hardware "has a better sound"
4. hardware is "more reliable"
objective:
1. if your computer's power supply goes down (crash) - your all live mix goes down, but if only one synth burns, the rest plays up, and you can some how get out "alive" from such a live set.
2. you support hardware vendor, so the vendor makes a better hardware
3. in live sets some how hardware mixers, synths and effects perform more stably than computers, at least Windows ... it's just statistics.
But, you're right: today anybody can have a Pulsar/Kyma system, or UAD-1 or some other DSP thingie, and to have it all in 1 PC/Mac
Today's computers are Monsters of processing.

If you start to use hardware you will never go back to software that's for sure! Juicy sounds too much...

funny, for me this goes for software instead of hardware.
i dont remember the name of the guy but some writer said once: ask people whats the meaning of life? and they will tell you the history of their life. oops, no intention to start another hard vs soft topic. |
