DJ Alibi said: not to get into the whole hardware vs. software debate, but i can say its very possible to get amazing warm sounding beats even with Fruity Loops. My boys crazy with it and thats the only thing he uses. I use software only as well. Used to rock hardware, but i dont see any compromise in the sound when i learned my Vegas Audio and sound forge. Its all in how you use it baby!
true, but sometimes i never wanna go software, because hardware has that "sound" when its passed through "real" filters. Wether its a tube or just a piece of the hardware inside. It just has that "feel" Like tape. I have stuck to hardware and prolly will forever, because i havnt seen anything out there on a computer that will make me choose over my hardware.
