i would like to hear an example of a Hardware tune and a Software tune...how much diffrence will there be, of course there will be some...it would be like a champagne and wine tasting test...."oohh thats definately champagne" ...."erm...no its not ... its cheap wine" hahahahaha
There are bad and good examples of both.. which kind of makes the idea of posting examples of both a bit irrelevant - no offence intended. There has been absolutely fantastic music made using both approaches.

One thing to bear in mind with software is, you can't polish a turd - if you want good, clear sounds, you need good clear samples to process in the first place - not 56Kb mono mp3's.
