Man ... remember when Rebirth came out? lol that was fun
Having owned/used/borrowed ALL the greats and weird ones (Moogs, Junos, EMS, etc) I can safely say that "close enough" is good enough. I prefer not using a computer for music making these days because I already crunch 8 hour days debugging load balancer configurations ... I just can't give another 8 to the PC at the end of the day. It's so relaxing having a dedicated machine that is stand alone to tinker around with after dinner.
Let's face it, our dreams of becoming the next Trent Reznor isn't happening. If you're new, yeah use a PC and some Free VSTs. If you got the cash, sure go buy something. What's important is how YOU feel about it. I understand it can be fun comparing SERUM patches to a real ARP 2600 but in the end ... it pretty much does not matter and as long as something as 2 or 3 OSCILLATORS you can figure it out.
Does anyone really need anything more than Synth 1? https://www.kvraudio.com/product/synth1-by-daichi-laboratory-ichiro-toda https://www.kvraudio.com/product/synth1-by-daichi-laboratory...
If you read this far I'd highly recommend looking at these phone apps if you are new to music making.
KORG GADGET (surprisingly good)
KOALA SAMPLER (incredible mpc style sampler)
- alfiedotwtf 2y agoExactly! Go for plugins UNLESS you’re chasing a particular sound and don’t want samples. I’ve tried every 303 clone, and other bass synths, and until I got a RE-303, I was never truely happy. This thing IS what I was chasing all along and at half the price! Everything else? Meh. A bass is a bass, a lead is a lead… but NOTHING can squelch like a real 303 if that’s what you’re gunning for!
- lagniappe 2y ago303 was THE sound of acid..
- alfiedotwtf 2y agoStill is :)

- kimi 2y agoVince Clarke is using sw plugins nowadays. If it's good enough for Vince, it's good enough for me (says the man who plays with his Behringer 2600).
- bloopernova 2y agoAny recommendations for recent tracks by Vince? I adore the Erasure album Chorus for the gorgeous sound Vince Clarke composed.
- kimi 2y agoThere is a recent album "Songs of Silence" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QEHcrb9bMM&list=PLvsYXqtYjMYdmLNWeH1e3td9dLjOg1IRt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QEHcrb9bMM&list=PLvsYXqtYjM... but I think it's rather different from old funny tunes. Erasure are still active and releasing material. I love classic DM / Yazoo / Erasure, and if I have to choose just one it is "Take a Chance on Me" on ABBA-esque.
- quijoteuniv 2y agoYes, nice to have standalone things. And anyway music does not care if we are snobs or not, is always benevolent
