Diki,
Why is it someone cannot simply disagree with you, without you posting a long diatribe about why you are right and they are wrong.
If that was not your intent, sorry for the misunderstanding, but that is how it came across.
I didn't call YOU a snob, just some pro studios and engineers I have had to deal with in the past.
And I didn't criticize anyone for their choice of keyboard either, so I don't understand the Casio reference either??
I was mostly saying that some very good VST's can be had these days for not a lot of money.
And therein is the reason I disagreed with you, that you don't have to go to expensive VST's to get a good result.
