I agree with martin this whole laptop or computer music is not as warm
sounding as analogue gear is a compleatly irrellivent argument.
I have ehard tracks made using all sorts of tools and its not the tools
that make some thing warm or cool soundings its the maker ... the person
behind the machines not the machines them self. like any thing it takes
time and energy to learn your tools of the trade to be able to make them
do what you want them to do...
Iv been making electronic music since the late 80s and switched from
analogue gear to 100 percent computer based music making in 1996 and well
like the analogue gear if I want to make a cold sounding track I can make the
software Im using do that just like how I can make my music sound warm...
here ou be the judge from one of my live sets there are times where it
sounds warm and other times where it sounds cold...

so from this example you can see that its all up to the artist making the
music...an if you dont like the cold souding material dont listen to it or
buy it... its as simple as that
If you dont like what the artist if out putting then dont support the
work...

You can still get the live vibe by hooking up controllers, keyboards and just
jamming across the kit you have, it's not all point and click :) People said
the same kinda thing about sequencers (i.e. just build in blocks), but it is
all possible with a bit of work.
