I will not argue my preferences friend!
To each their own.
I have yet to hear a tone module produce nuance in color that a real instrument will. With only 127 possible volocity settings available for sequenced material, I doubt I will hear anything soon that will capture it!
By the way, you should really re-read my post in on that other topic about modeling. There is a nuance in what I said that you missed, at least in my mind. The Rockman was "modeled" after a heavily modified amplifier that Tom preferred. It sounds much closer to that amp then any of the modeling units I have heard. So, while it may only do one sound, it does it very accurately. Maybe Line 6 should hire him to design their electronics! Now that would be something.
I fear that what is missing in many modern recordings, home recordist and professionals alike, is uniqueness in tone. Everyone uses the same crap! Some of that crap is very capable in very experienced hands, but THAT is the problem. Many just don't have the experience working with nice sounding gear and real instruments to make subjective decisions concerning stuff that is made to emulate it. Thus, the full potential of the "phoney" sound is not usually realized by many. Knowing the limitations of tone modules is really only possible if you have pretty good real life experience with the "real thing" to compare to. Do you follow where I am going with this?
I am not trying to be snobbish or elitest when I say this, but until one has worked with quality gear and sounds, they are going to have a hard time replicating those sounds with lesser gear. You just really need a firm idea of what actually sounds "good" before you can work with equipment that is not what is normally used for "good" and make it sound "good".
By the way, I don't seek your approval in my preferences, ideas, or opinions. I have way too much experience in audio to ever have to "reconsider" anything I have to say about it. You are free to disagree, post your disagreement, call me nasty names, question my "knowledge". I may or may not argue the point with you. But, be assured that my preferences come from my experiences, and I know what I like. Sometime soon here, I will have some stuff for you to listen to, then you can possibly ascertain better what I know or don't know about recording. With over 20 years in the music biz in one capacity or another I have stumbled across a few tidbits of information, and developed some skills that people are willing to pay for. Why that may not mean much to you at this point, it illustrates why I can confidently say that I don't give a hoot what you may think about what I say.

But I do like to be civil, and I can accommodate a great discussion on the merits of anything audio! Please feel free to participate.
Peace bro.
