Hardware vs Software – Instruments Forum

This is a novel topic that has probably not been discussed before. I would encourage you to search for a hardware vs software thread, but I’m afraid you’ll come up empty handed.

Let me add my 2c though. Hardware takes up space, demands your attention, asks to be used. Software doesn’t. I have so many plugins that are buried in a menu, and keep falling for black friday sales because why not?

My hardware though, it has stayed in the same spot, and has survived multiple changes in my setup over the years. That’s about the differences. I could care less about any sonic discrepancies, as the gap is not large enough for me or my non-existent audience to care.
