Just another opinionated opinion.

Well, first of all, a well treated control room and a well-treated recording studio housed with a folly stage as well as a Bosen Dorfer Imperial Grand piano.

Next will be a Mac Pro G5 with Quad Xeon Proceesor and 4GB RAM, two Hard-disk, and a long-wide LCD screen. Running application like Pro tools TDM, Reason, Native Instruments Absynth 3, REAKTOR 5, Steinberg WaveLab and Cubase SX.

Then, 4 Digidesign HD192 with a Digidesign Control 24, or s Soild State Logic AWS-9000 super analogue console, Yamaha NS-10m, Yamaha HS-80m, and Mackie HR-824.
Furthermore, a Akai S5000 or S6000 digital stereo MIDI sampler, a Synclavier X, Fostex PD-2 DAT field tracker, tons of instruments samples libraries. tons of SFX libraries, and tons of Production Music libraries.

Mics: a Shure SM-57, Nuemann TLM-170, u87 & tube KM56, KM140, Sony ECM-50 lavalier mic, Schoeps CMC-5, Sanken, sennheiser 816 & 416, AKG C552 stereo mics, 568 & 300SB, D112, etc.

And many many more...haha...wat a great topic for us to dream. Gonna love this..

 

[teraslasch]

dreams turn into reality 10 years down the road :lol:

Actually, adding "Akai S5000 and S6000" will be going back 10 years in time!

 

[sj2six]

Well, old doesn't mean "out". I love S5000 man. Many arranger today still using it!

Maybe I shall add some Fender Strat, Telecastor, Precision Bass, a Les Pual, a PRS custom, a Parker Fly, a Taylors acoustic, some boss effects as well as Marshall Amps to my list man. And maybe some analogue vintage synth from Moog?? Then a trumpet, a Violin, Viola, cello, and upright bass. how about a Neve Flying Faders?? HAHAHAHA...sO gOOd tO drEAm...

 

[Cheez]

Well... in the case of the S5000 - old also means out!!!

You use Gigastudio - you should know! Hardly any major studios using softsamplers will still use Akai samplers - if any at all! Why use the S5000 to load a few samples that takes forever when I can use Gigastudio to load the exact same Akai samples 100-200x the size at a fraction of a second?

 

[sj2six]

but softsampler cannot do sampling like hardware does.

 

[Cheez]

A softsampler can do ALL the things a hardware sampler does and many many more - including loading of larger and more complex samples (at least 100x larger - in size of GB, not MB), faster, more complex editing of samples with editors, more complex programming of each samples, ability to apply plug-in within the softsampler, etc etc. A hardware sampler loads slowly, load very small size samplers, are limited in their editing functions, etc etc. I can name a list of up to 20.

 

[stalefish]

but softsampler cannot do sampling like hardware does.

In what way?
