DS, i don't want to get this deep into it cuz it's just too much for me...
From my experience the final sound that we hear in music is 50%
the sound source and 50% the processing, but i'm shure that when
you listen to music, you can't actually hear exactly what synth the sounds
was originally made with, if it's from analogue, digital or softsynth source,
good example is the difference between Albino softsynth and Access Virus.
One interesting thing that i noticed with softsynths is the difference in sound
on differend soundcards, with digital synths the difference is not so big cuz
it depends only on the analogue signal chain that it connected to, but soundcards
can add much more color to the sound than a hardware mixer can do.
Personally, i'm a sampler man, i like to capture a sound into sample and
manipulate it this way when i make music, i resample a lot, this is my way
of producing music.
Peace.
