Members burster Posted July 6, 2011 Members Share Posted July 6, 2011 I would love to compare my hardware to my softsynth computer but... ...the main hard drive in the softsynth computer died and I lost weeks of setting up the damn thing. Luckly my hardware still works so I can keep on jammin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mister natural Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 I actually love the "debate" that this topic touches off around here. Some are very passionately connected to thier "old" keyboards & believe that they're somnehow superior to software. Some work exclusively with software & have found them to be reliable (after some painful trial & error). Whatever works to make your best music and never stop !

Members DJ RAZZ Posted July 7, 2011 Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 I never thought I would see this or hear this for that matter but software can in fact be superior in sound quality. The famous people agree. I am just thankful that hardware is making strides in both price and performance. In my book hardware is still the working man's best live rig choice.

Members JeffLearman Posted July 8, 2011 Members Share Posted July 8, 2011 I gigged for several years with a laptop. Only a couple times did I need to reboot. But I'm glad that I had a keyboard with a good piano to see me through until it did. I wouldn't depend solely on a computer; I'd want a backup. Contrast that with I gigged for a decade with only one keyboard, which never failed. Before that, I gigged with electromechanical pianos; CP70 and Rhodes plus whatever synth, and other than breaking a few Rhodes tines, no failures. Knock on wood. One trick is to have a computer that does nothing other than your music. Don't connect it to the internet; use a thumb drive to move software from your normal computer to it. Avoid making changes and it'll be far more reliable. I didn't have this luxury; used the same computer for everything, and frequently had to reinstall audio drivers.

Members ElectricPuppy Posted July 8, 2011 Members Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hardware: Stable, knobby, self-contained, highly compatible. Software: Buggy, mousy, still needs hardware to run (a computer and audio I/O), sensitive to your computer's configuration. Clearly the winner is software.
