i am in the process of gettin what i want together and i am starting to get comfortable with certain software...

personally i couldmt see alot of hardware replicate the sounds made in absynth and reaktor so for those type of sounds i think software....

now for a bassline im thinking hardware, even tho i dont have any hardware, i cna just imagine a cleaner, thicker, bigger waveform ready to rock any system...

for kick drums, maybe hardware for the above reason.

programming drums, i am (too) comfortable with reason and i want to phase it out, but i just cant. weird, tribarific sounds can be gotten in seconds, using certain filter settings on an appended malstrom.

its about balance... i think....

but i can see where maasplank is coming from, making a tune can be like a having a mix if you have all the dedicated hardware there running off each other....
