Unless any of you have used true analog....then of course....its to be expected that you cant tell the difference. When listening to the clips....dont base your judgments on the fallacy that true analog sounds warmer and fatter. In some cases it does....but more and more softsynths and VA's can match and superceed an analogs girth. The real difference still lies in the finesse and presence/bite of analog. If you listen to the clips again (would be better with wav files and not mp3) then you should conclude that no current VA or softsynth can offer the same presence and bite. If your listening to true analog and va side by side through decent monitors...the difference is unmistakable. People like me still believe that this quality is what lends a track a certain je ne sais quoi quality. This is the holy grail for software developers.....
Of course.....at the end of the day this is a matter of taste - just like a wine connoisseur probably wouldnt get much enjoyment out of a ?2 bottle table wine. Is it all in the head? Personally i dont think so....their are differences....and these differences do exist. Some people are more finely tuned to pick up these differences.....and thats all it is

The SynthWizard has some advice - Back in the 1980's music was better, TV was better, films were better. Not to mention fashion.... Let me help you relive the past with some classic 80's sounds from my vintage synth collection....
