A comment on Making Synthesized Sounds More Acoustic.

About a decade ago, within my circle of amateur musicians, it was considered nearly impossible to achieve an ‘acoustic’ sound using a completely digital loop. The simplest method found to enhance the quality of a synthetic sound was to play it through a speaker and then capture it using a microphone.

Yes.

One problem with that is that good microphones are expensive, likewise, but less so, good speakers.

One of the wonders about modern electronic music is the low prices of digital audio processing (i.e. computers) equipment.

That and the general geek points for making something sound like an acoustic instrument.
