Hi everyone!br
br
i finally finish build my home studio, and this summer/winter im planing buy some hardwvare synthsbr
br
i already check few juno 106 (sounds amazing btw) but all of them was in bad condition.br
br
Any tips for good synths i should look for
Ive had various analog Vintage synths over the years. Unless you are really interested in the history or are a collector, the practicality vs modern synths is a big turn off.br
br
If its just the classic sounds you are after there are plenty of good plugin versions that are indistinguishable from the originals. Although in todays modern music basic analog synthesis imo doesn’t cut it for the stuff like Trance, DB, Dubstep, Progressive. maybe for the Deeper Techno and House stuff its still a desirable soundbr
br
If you really want to twirl some physical knobs you could try using controllers like Novation Remote SL Zero… It works well but can be a pain to set up and configure the way you want for all your plugins.br
br
There are some good modern analog synths. br
br
Arturia Mini/Micro Brute br
Dave Smith Tetra/Mophobr
br
For me its all about workflow and i just cant be bothered with the hassle of pluging stuff in syncing presets etc. Plugins make things so much faster and easier and they are now truly sounding just as good as analog.
I’m going to have to agree with Phil on this one…br
br
Analog gear is great. I love it. I’ve used it in studios for many different types of projects. It’s got a great sound to it, for sure.br
br
However, unless you’re a keyboard mastermind or are willing to put up with using MIDI like a beast and sending out to your synths and then back into the DAW (I’ve been playing piano my whole life and I still have issues with this), then I would definitely go with Phil.br
br
There’s so much more flexibility in the DAW and with softsynths. Really, the analog stuff is kind of just a pain in the arse. ^_^br
br
If you’re totally dead set on analog, I’ve heard that the Virus stuff is awesome.br
br
And if you want to go full analog, look into the Moog stuff. If you want to lose your mind, buy a set of banana cables and buy a Buchla. Go crazy!br
br
If not, stick to the softsynths and master those first. 
i have a juno 60 and love the simplicity of it and it is fun to play. i hear the 106s aren’t as reliable. but honestly i don’t use it to make tracks it is more decor for the studio.br
br
i recently got a roland space echo (re-201) but again it doesn’t get much use but looks lovely in my studio.br
br
so i echo what phil says (but with some saturation from my re-201). don’t bother unless you’ve got a soft spot for vintage.
Some thing for me!br
br
I bought a Korg a few years ago and I sold it because it was to much complicated for me to use. All the MIDI setup just get over me.br
br
All you need is a good MIDI controller with nobs and fader.
