Has there been any blind tests on analog purists?
I have a few hardware synths myself but I have them for their tactility.
Only thing I find that hasn’t been successfully recreated in digital form is hi hats. They lack something bite or depth.
- alfiedotwtf 2y agoIf you’re talking 909, then there’s a reason why - the high hats on the 909 were samples lol :)
- Wherecombinator 2y agoNah talking 808 and 606s really but that said I still think the tr8s hats don’t match the original for whatever reason.
- alfiedotwtf 2y agoSadly you’re right. Listen to Jeff Mills’ “The Bells” where early on during the bar he tweaks the open high hat. Even though it’s a sample, somehow I’ve never heard that slur replicated digitally. And that’s another example - I really like the TR8(s) but once I got NAVA I was blown away at the sound - I wouldn’t doubt it’s also something to do with the DACs
