CD sales have indeed dropped, but that has NOTHING to do with whether they use a Fairlight, Emulator, S6000, Prophecy, Fusion or whatever. It\u2019s because music piracy is up, downloads are the preferred medium and the industry is on a downturn in general. It has nothing at all

Recording Fairlight in a protools is a no sense; just like copying a HD DVD on a VHS. Do you know what multiplexing is ? Emu II and III were great despite a sound less punchy than the Fairlight. Emu 4 has just an anemic sound.Only the filter are ... interesting. Depeche Mode used

I agree. The quality of the Fairlight is unique, but whether the samples are used in a track directly recorded from a Fairlight or a program, such as Kontakt, using a CD / DVD library (recorded with lab precision), I doubt anyone would be able to 'really' tell the difference. The
