Can a $119 plugin bundle compete with some of the most legendary vintage synthesizers ever made?

In this video I create 2 complete tracks entirely in Standalone Mode on the Akai MPC Key 37 Gen 2 using the new Fabric Vintage Synth Volume 2 collection.

These instruments are inspired by legendary classics including:

• Oberheim Matrix-12
• Yamaha CS-80
• Alesis Andromeda A6

The question is…

Do you really need vintage hardware anymore? If you would like me, you would use both. There’s something special about the hardware but plug-in do a very good job and it’s hard to tell the difference for most listeners.

You’ll hear the music first, then we’ll compare the sounds, workflow, and overall value of a $119 software bundle versus synths that can cost well over $50,000 combined.
