Re: Loop effects: Can software be as good as good hardware?



that's well said, David.  This would make a big difference to a pro studio owner, as opposed to a live, experimental music looper in most cases, I suppose.

There’s no pitch-shifter in Reaktor to equal Eventide’s proprietary algorithms, and no reverb in there to equal Lexicon’s. Only you can say whether that matters, or if you (or your audience) can even hear that it’s true. I had Eventides and high-end Lexicons, and I do miss their unique audio qualities, but these became less exciting after a while and I could no longer justify the expense (hardware IS re-sellable!). If I played/recorded for $$$$ or travelled with my gear, I expect I’d have both hard and software.
