Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to me that, whether you're using a drim machine, synthisizer, workstation or vst's, it's difficult to know whether the original sound coming from the machine already has been elctronically modified with compression, reverb, etc. The possibility always exists that you are compressing an already compressed (or otherwise modified) sound during recording/mixdown. I'm talking about the basic 'sound' from these machines that exist before you would apply any internal reverb or other modifications; the basic sampled sound. Don't you think the original sample was recorded with some sort of studio 'magic' already applied? If nothing else but to make the sample sound good and help 'sell' the product.
