Yes the punters do realise the difference in an indirect/subconscious way. These crack heads enjoy thumping basses and searing leads......and it just so happens that if its done on analog gear, it sounds better......then its perceived to be a 'better' tune.
Im a little old skool u see. I listen to alot of late 80's and early 90's house and rave music. Not so much because I like the music but im more interested in the extreme sounds they were using back then. Its of no suprise to me that the vast majority of artists back then were using analog synths: Roland Jupiters, TB303's, Prophet 5, Pro-One, Korg Mono-Polys (synced leads!!!!), Roland Alpha Juno's and Juno 60's. There were of course many others that were used....but perhaps less well documented. Its important to bear in mind that by the late 80's and particularly early 90's analog synth were selling for peanuts. Ive heard stories of Jupiter 8's go for $350 for instance. The digital revolution really hit analog synth re-sale value.....so alot of these poor, creative bedroom crackheads made banging tunes with cheap analog synths. To my ears.....they did a really good job. Put it this way....I'd love to hear some of those tunes done on just a VA...... It just wouldnt be the same would it?
