Sorry, thought we were playing football.

My 2p is this: For synth programming i prefer hardware, hands down. the directness is FUN.

If you arent having fun then it isnt worth doing.

For sequencing it has to be software. no contest there. To my mind the weakest link in this chain is the convertors on your soundcard. I compared the recording done on my mates roland VS2480 and those done on his ECHO LAYLA and the roland WIPED THE FLOOR with the ECHO, no suprise really since Rolands convertors rock.

Having said that, the most important thing is to recognise that if something works for you then its good, the sound quality and quality of the sound can be debated as not all sounds must be crystal sharp as they can be interesting without that. On the flip side the most basic of sounds can still sound great when recorded well and used in the right place.

whatever you do, learn to wizz around your sequencer and your synth and you'll be producing great sounds in no time.
