I do not agree with the premise that because everybody uses the same
plugins it all sounds similar. As for samples, all-in-one DAW does not
force you to use any samples, rarely does a DAW come with decent samples
anyway. And same plugins can be used in a very different way.
Also, it is funny you say that. Doesn't every person here use same
stuff -
a couple of main synths and a limited set of plugins?
or maybe some record a cello ... again, very different sounds indeed
using the same 'limited' configuration of wood, strings, bow and mic ...
depending very much on the musician using it.
Part of my childish fantasy about composing for "real" instruments like
strings or horns or organ is that the sampled or synthesized sound is
just a placeholder until I can have a real instrumentalist play the part
on a real instrument for a real recording.
