For the music makers out here, how many of you make your own sounds? If you don't, I highly recommend it. It's a very rewarding experience! I think one gets a better feel for one's tracks this way. Questions/comments? |

I'll take that as a 'no.' :D |

I do. I prefer own sounds above presets. With my micro modular I have a virtual modular synth under my little fingers. |

I dont do anything but.. . I would never bother using normal loops or preset instruments.. . I tweak my hardware just as much as my software. .. |

I've been making drum samples from scratch all day. That's why I asked--I love making sounds. ;D I have a Roland Jx-305. It's fantastic! I have no complaints with it; thoroughly satisfied! One of FEW digital synthesizers with analogue control knobs and a huge hard disk--plus plenty of usable default sounds (pianos, basses, etc) not to mention the quick processor and unlimited customizability! |

I don't do it as often as I used to- I'm using presets more and more (although samples are still kept to a minimum). I tend to play with making presets for fx and instruments when I get writers block- that way I have some new stuff to try when I get back to making music. |

If you're running fruity loops and you set the parameters of the TS404s or OSC3s, that counts as sound design--even though it's software. I think FL is a great tool for working with samples--great ways to modify them. I think really FL only sucks if you use default sounds. Just bores me to death to hear the same unaltered kicks and basses going on a couple of times. |

Ah right yes, I'll usually tweak samples to some degree before usign them- I'll only use them "as is" if the sound is already exactly as I want and any editing would be a token gesture to make it my own. I've only used unaltered samples on a few occasisions and even then I tend to put FX on them. |

ill almost always tweak it at least a bit... add effects or a filter or something, or sometimes to the degree of making it unrecogniseable as having come from the original sample ive never tried sampling stuff myself ... i want to some day though i guess i need a mini disc + mic or something |

My musical ideas usually come during the sound creation process. I'd say, I sit with my synths 85% of the time creating sounds, and compose and record when I've got enough to try some ideas. Hey, C738, I also have Clavia synths. A Micro Mod and a full fledged Modular Rack. I wish I could afford a Nordlead3 sometime in the future. It's teh sexy! -P |

HAHAHA OMG DOLLEATER! YOUR NEW AVATAR! IT ROCKS! HAHAHA I loved that movie The way I see it at least, is if you really want to express yourself origionally, and your working digitally, the ONLY way to do it is with origional synth patches, origional drums hits, and even as far as to use your own custom vst effects or programs, the whole shabang, its the only way to grow and learn as an electronic artist. Because I see people who use presets, and get stuck into using them 24.7 and they never move on, they get stuck. Designing your own sounds is the only way to go IMO. But presets are ok sometimes if you tweak them around some and try and use them in a different way, and try out different things I like to get into the nitty gritty stuff though so I hope I havent offended anyone |
