Said "Professional Musicians" must either be not very professional, or are conductors using sythetic music to test out how their peice sounds. Also, I was thinking more small ensambles that can be edited to make it sound like a full orchestra. And as for timing, you can always put in a metronome, or have a stated speed, and have a metronome on headphones. That way everyone stays at the same rate. That's complete bs, any composer that doesn't have access to a professional orchestra composes music like this, and even the ones that do originally use software, and you obviously haven't listened to the soundtrack I linked. I hate technophobes. And if by "emotion" you mean technique like vibrato or others according to the instruments, you've never heard of Digital instrument libraries. (Look up "Goliath digital instrument" althouh I know you won't)And that would sound horrible. You have no iDea how inconsistent we unprofessional musicians are in our adherence to tempo and also how bad instruments recorded on a sub 300 dollar mic sound. If you are going to argue further, first listen to the track, or even better, to Yogscast shadow of Israphel soundtrack. It's All synthesized.

I am going to put this tastlefully, though I do not want to.

First. I am not denying that composers work by using synthesiszed music to test out their composition. I have heard of digital libraries. However, playing music from a bunch of notes that are pre-recorded has no sense of connection. There is no real music there.

This was a rude post. A few more like this will get you banned for a little while. For the most part, I agree with SamwiseFilmore, but I do want to point out that there is still real music in synthesized music. It is more of a connection just between the composer and the notes, instead of a group of musicians and the music. Personally, I enjoy the 'musicians and the music' connection (it adds many memories and a sense of friendship to the music), but it is not wrong to like just the 'composer and music' one.
