I would appreciate all thoughts on this topic! Please don't say "Software sucks" or something like that. Tell me WHY it sucks. WHY doesn't it sound/act like hardware? Will software close up on hardware once the computers can start handeling more and more voices/realtime effects?
Thanks!

Thanks a lot K! That's exactly what I wanted and that was why I did I like I did. =)
I don't really need anymore info now. I'm almost done with my writing.

Still wondering if it's worth it to buy that Nova and some hardware effect units or if I should upgrade my pc and go 100% software instead.
And THAT studio will be 100% aimed at electronic music. Mostly trance and techno I guess. But is it really worth it to buy expensive hardware when I'm only a hobbyist?
The Nova should be enough for 303 like sound and some pads right? I'm played with one for a short while, and I really liked the sound.
I really do like the feeling of twisting knobs and pressing buttons instead of clicking around with a computer mouse. I also think that you more easiliy get stuck in patterns when you draw notes in software sequencers. You sometimes think that it doesn't LOOK good. And that's not really what it is about is it?
Oh, well...
How much does a somewhat neat mixer cost anyway? I guess I need to specify something here too... Hmm... I won't need that many channels and things for starters. Just imagine a very small homestudio.
I agree with Jaspers point by the way. If you don't like the thread, then don't answer. Seems like a big waste of time to me.

Software v's Hardware for mixing OR
sequencing and synthesis?
OR using for live performance?
What about Native v's DSP Cards?
One thing people overlook in these arguments is that
Good Hardware and Good Software have a bigger R&D budget
and so you can expect better results.
EG Freeware VA's sound no where near as good as High costing software VA's.
Protools is software can also be very high end for a full studio setup
and uses DSP cards and specialised Midi-mixers, so it ain't fully software.
Some new Rackmount's like the Roland 1010 etc... require a computer to use,
so do good midi-Soundcards, so functionally not much difference.
Big scope of argument.

There's so many ways to skin a cat, some better than others for given situations.

BTW - you could run that plug in Cakewalk or any DX-plugin compatible multitracker as an insert effect too
