My personal problems:

1) Limited to VST, which I feel are inferior to better hardware synths and synth modules. Personally, I've never found a software synth that sounds better than my hardware synths.

2) No FX, perhaps no outboard FX but most synth instruments have FX built right into the synth sound, it's part of making it. Could you reproduce a distorted guitar without some distortion FX?

3) If it's a contest, how do you judge?

4) Are we judging just the solo instrument or the entire song?

5) Bitrate of the sample

Sorry, I'm picky.
