First of all i'm a musician, not a collector of musical instruments.
I've sold those synths in a good working condition because i threated them
good enuff to keep them in this condition, and i don't think they shit or anything,
each one of those synths had his own character and personalality, but i decided
to get rid of them because they became useless for my needs.
When i bought them i didn't knew so much about sound, and after i learned
trough the years the secrets of sound engineering and studio tech - i found out that
there are better and easier ways to create the sounds that i hear in my mind,
and those synths started loosing their value trough the years, i wanted to move
forward with technology instead of staying behind with a bunch of collector
items in a museum. My studio is not a museum and it shouldn't be a museum.
Today i still work mostly in hardware environment, most of the hardware
i use is eq's and dynamic processors, but i think that in next few years
software will be good enuff to replace hardware completely, at least with synths.
I've seen lots of people with Mackie or Genelec monitors in standard square
rooms without any accoustic threatment, some of them have lots of vintage
synths and they claim that they sounds better than all new digital bullshit...
I've been there already, i have nothing to say to those people, because
when i was like that, i didn't listen to those who know.
Ofcourse analogue synths it's more fun, but in the end of a day - your music
is what's really important, not the kit list you used to create it.
