Not if you use quality gear and you know what you’re doing.īut again: a key component in all of this is the AD/DA conversion. It may do so, if that’s what you’re after, but it doesn’t have to. And re-amping is a technique that needn’t introduce distortion or saturation. And I am of the opinion they're right.Īnd yes, if you want to re-amp your stuff - in case you have a great sounding room, an amplifier the sound of which you like and a (pair of) high-quality microphone(s) -, you leave your DAW as well of course. Many people also still swear by hardware filters - those units that were so popular during the 80’s and 90’s - and will tell you that nothing in the digital realm compares. Audio that’s been ‘oxydized’ does sound noticeably different from audio which hasn’t (even long before the process starts to distort or saturate the audio). Sending audio through a recording head of a tape or a cassette machine, or even recording it onto tape or cassette, is still a very common practice as well, and its appeal goes *much* further than simply getting some authentic tape saturation into your DAW. If the difference were only negligible, I wouldn’t bother.)

(And again, the difference with software tape emulators is audible, as I illustrated with an audio comparison in the tape simulator thread a few weeks ago. I’ll also send audio out of my DAW whenever I want to process it with the Anamod ATS-1. Me, I have a hardware Clariphonic and while the difference with the (excellent) software version of that device isn’t all that huge, that difference is there and audible. Many people still use hardware EQ’s or hardware compressors (from the creamy vintage stuff to pristine-sounding high-end modern units), and prefer them to anything that’s available as a plugin. There’s lots of good reasons to have your audio leave your DAW and make a detour through hardware, and none of them need involve distortion or saturation. (Re-amping is something very different actually.) I don’t think that’s true, fakemaxwell, and routing the audio from a virtual instrument into hardware and then back into your DAW isn't the same thing at all as “re-amping a VST” either. I still have the Fat Bustard, but I hardly ever use it anymore. Years ago, I used to send my digital audio through a Thermionic Culture Fat Bustard for precisely the same reason as why you are now inquiring about such a solution, and while it certainly made things sound different, samples kept sounding like samples and modelled pianos kept sounding like modelled pianos. A device that is able to turn the lifeless, digital sound of a virtual instrument - sampled or modelled - into something truly warm, alive and organic, doesn't exist. Might even sound worse.Īlso: don't expect too much from external hardware. If you only have mediocre 'consumer' AD/DA conversion, any warm, 'un-digital' quality that analog hardware might inject in your sound, will be all but ruined and your audio will sound just as digital as it does today. It also includes four instrument packs of your choice.Patrick, keep in mind that if you go the hardware route, you have to have a pretty good audio interface that does better-than-average AD/DA conversion, otherwise there's really no point in hooking up an external, warm-sounding valve unit (or anything else, for that matter).
