I'm not excited, I'm just assertive. And I'm not defensive, I'm simply being accurate with my point of view.
I do hear things. Which is actually a pain in the ass to me. How real am I supposed to get as long as I'm still hearing that it isn't real? Or even the fact when I KNOW it isn't real?
I'm just not one of these people who strives for realism out of synthesis. I understand it, I know it is hard work, I just can't be arsed. If I want real guitars so badly, I'd be going pro, and if I were pro, I'd just get a guitar or ask/hire somebody who has the skill.
Emulating instruments is a legitimate and useful science, but to me it isn't worth the effort.
