Hello! Me first post, me thinks!

First of all: 1000x Thank-you! to Marc et al. for making the Virus TI in the first place! I absolutely positively love it, and am thrilled by it everytime I fiddle it's knobs....

Almost sounds erotic, doesn't it! My girlfriend's got competition....

OK: I own both; I use both. The simple comparison is that exceptional hardware (like the TI Snow) just flat-out sounds BETTER even when compared to a fast, well-built high-end audio computer running Omnisphere, as an example.

Some would argue that you get more of a 3D soundstage w/good hardware. Arguably, you can significantly enhance an audio computer's soundstage with a genuinely pro 'soundcard' (or audio sub-system...I run a 2-piece RME set-up, as an ex.); but I have yet to be blown away like I am by the TI Snow.

Just ain't the same.

Computers are not really good with real-time DSP-driven software; although they are getting a lot better. U-HE's ACE is a great example of just how far they've come.

Computers ARE good at running large samplesets using hosts like Kontakt where extensive sample-switching and other sample management functions are required. Think Gigasampler; and you have a solid, foundational idea of what current audio computers were born to do in the instrument realm.

I'll stop there. Anyone care to elaborate on (or argue with!) my comparison, please feel free!

Hey guys I just bought a virus ti snow I mean I did not have enough money to buy the desktop ti2 but I wish I did but I just cannot resist I have been saving up for months almost a year and I cannot quite get to the 1700 bucks that the ti2 is going for so I went with the snow do you think I am missing out on the lots of the sound and ability to produce nice ambient, dub, dub techno ambient tracks.

The simple answer would be to say the virus ti

Quoted from "HelloMellow"

What makes the Virus better than the top VSTi plugins?

The simple answer would be to say the virus TI combines the best of both............... Hardware v Vst... why have the battle? when you buy the TI you have both.

You know THE ANSWER - if you'w tray a rubber girl in you life and i hope you'w tray real girl in you life...
It's easy, real tits, pusys and ass always beter... I think and i think i'm not the one...
