just a thought that occured to me last night....


how many ppl on the board, when making music will only ever use the preset synth sounds that are included with that synth. who is a tweaker??

i personally find that for 75% of the time i wil only ever use preset sounds on synths but for the times that i don't i can say that the almost cliched expression of "the best synths sounds that you create will be ones that you make yourself" has become true.

for instance i will now usually lay dwn some percussion and a kick first to get a groove going than try to write a bassline pattern to fit this groove, from here i will then select an appropriate sounding synth and tweak just a few parameters to twist this sound into one that is more personal.



one more thought for this thread is to see which synths ppl generally choose to use (if they express a preference)

for me personally, i swear by Crystal and use FM7 alot too.

discuss....
