Its not only synthesizers. I pity guitarists, that really think, they can make a recording worth hearing while they do every click to sound exactly the same as $your_favourite_guitar_hero. To find the perfect sound for the band and for oneself is an epic fight with combining different guitars, strings, modifications(picups etc), amps, FX-boxes and playing itself. And: oh wonder! lo and behold: picky listeners tend to prefer those who fight that fight to the end. And the picky listeners are those who really go to concerts, buy records etc... Again: presets are not "evil", if they are used as a starting point to make something individual and to demonstrate the capabilities of a software, they are absolutely important. But to demand 200 leadsynth-presets including ready-to-play sounds as used on the most cool top-20 CDs this year from a distribution of a softsynth before considering the synth a "professional usable" one is silly. best regs HZN -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkq6XosACgkQ1Aecwva1SWNiiwCfanDjVi8mzi0Xfy8FsxscEG/c I6UAniSaAHUENBHFNYNdguLnoSKouDqK =3nSX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
