     The only thing that is needed in music production is more cores. That's all. Everything else can be done with current software.

     There is a collective ignorance and amnesia that software and computers have exceeded what they do. I was even looking at a current Korg wavetable synthesizer and it sounds like any other cheesy generic analog synth. They were touting it as the hardware version of Serum and that's fucking laughable in my opinion. I think Serum is slightly more capable than Vital (juries out imo) and even then the flagship modern wt synth sounds like booty compared to Vital.

     The hardware market is a complete scam. I can't see how this would outperform Renoise + Vital Synth/Surge Xt which is $76 USD, full VST support, and this fucking little goofy box being, ehem almost $900!!!! Also just with Amigo sampler, TAL-Drums and Sampler and others like Speedrum 2 and Visco being a thing, you could spend less and have WAY more imo. I'm still in the camp that Jeskola Buzz can be just Renoise for poor people. So why would I by this hardware?? It's silly especially if you already have a MIDI controller. I don't think it's bad hardware, just the people at Polyend are greedy bastards.

     @charlie_root Yeah, I've looked at the various polyend tracker things and they seem cute, but a fucking nightmare to do anything with. Seems to me like they're trying to target the same market as the Teenage Engineering crowd. Very pretty looking hardware, probably over-engineered or spec'd as far as reliability, but ultimately vastly overpriced toys. The Apple of music hardware.

     @charlie_root I like Benn a lot, even if he does get stuck up his own arsehole sometimes. Have you ever listened to the stuff he put out as The Flashbulb?
     
     The earlier stuff (and stuff by other monikers like Acidwolf) is very intricate but sometimes beautiful breakcore/dnb then settled into slower genres. Apparently he hates that music now

     Flashbulb is way too ambient for me, but I like his content it's entertaining and brainy at times. DnB kind of fell off at a certain point and only really started making a comeback in the past 5 years or so, really with the latest Chase & Status releases putting it more and more into the mainstream.

     Pretty much, hardware synthesis is lame compared to modern software, it's a fact, otherwise Steve Duda would be trying to sell me a box rn. I still think though that hardware racks in the effects department are much better. I believe it with some compressors and EQ racks.

     The reason you need more cores is because a daw is really a series of single threaded applications. Each track and it's plugins go on a singkr core until you run out. A track is one point of process, so for my description, a bus serving multiple console tracks would be on one core, as would the tracks feeding it.
     
     The more cores you have, the more you can spread out the processing and create efficiencies.
     
     I guess ram would play a role here too, but cores are really the key.

     Also if you're new to this subject and want to hear what Serum and software DAWs do in 2024, he're a sample
