Davs, davs! :)

No, but it was a joy afterwards so it did help. And the best thing was that
a polish tech bought all my used sliders for "cheap fixes" on Odysseys in
this neighbourhood...

Fine, no problem with me! :)

But I also think that there's enough guys like me out there who would
appreciate a software version.
That wasn't my concern, I think soft synths serves a purpose for everyone
who needs those to get a cheap alternative into music making. But I've never
ever understood the concept of cloning real gear. That's like selling
posters of Mona Lisa and saying you get the same feeling as looking at the
original. My point is; Make a new cool poster instead, that everyone likes
despite the non-historical approach...
> Some prefer to dial knobs on a piece of hardware, others prefer
dialing on a computer screen. In the end only the music matters (to
me anyway).
I doubt most people would go with the screen if they had the chance to
choose. But once again... it's probably just this retro-bastard who is
narrow-minded enough. ;)
And regarding "only music matters" it's true when you think of the final
product. I have a lot of "soft" records too which are great, but as a music
maker myself I would probably never be doing music if the only option was
this crappy PC and a bunch of cracked software programs and a knob box...
> Finally Jesper I would like to thank you for keeping this a sober and
friendly discussion. I have heard of people dissing each other and
resolving to namecalling in other forums.
Thanks! I'm doing my best after a good start from listowner Scott left the
responsibility to me and left... (still no word I'm afraid)
> At least I think we can agree to disagree. :-)
Certainly... I don't like "fleskesteg" or trying to sort out the
differencies between the 10 DKK and the 20 DKK coins either... :)
