Good one @Spyfxmk2 Pretty atmospheric...

How do you approach your sound selection? Do you use ready presets or make them from scratch?

Thanks

 

^Thank you

^ The track is always THE BOSS : if i open a synth & i play a preset & that inspires me to write a riff then i might tweak it a bit & off i go !
i like doing a lot of sound design in fm8,omnisphere & sylenth1
Presets are not bad to use if it enhances the track & is useful in the context of your music
Let me give you 2 examples from producers that i love & respect so much :

example # 1 ZHU - FADED :
Sylenth1 preset 009 arp Gitano(arp turned off ) was used for the main riff...
Sylenth1 preset 064 reso bass was used for the bass.... :

example #2 The Prodigy - Wild Frontier

Sylenth1 preset 392 arp firefly was used as the opening arp

so ....i like doing sound design & when i have time i create my own presets,(also in massive),& if i find a nice premade one & fits my composition i will use that too as ZHU or Liam Howlett from the Prodigy

Take care

Thanks @Spyfxmk2 ... for the reply and examples...

I do very little sound design programming from scratch... Most times I find myself using presets with small to large changes made in their parameters or insert/ send fx...

I must have made like a grand total of 9 or 10 sounds from scratch in over 12 years of producing music on computers...

Your sound selection really stands out... Each sound has a very clear sonic space it occupies... Makes for a very crisp and tight soundscape... A great talent!

 

^ yes if you adjust a preset to fit your track, add reverb to it(your own flavor) eq & compress,flange/delay/phaser/distort it & so own
then it becomes your own
i would suggest no matter what your particular style in any moment,
to learn good & use fm8 : once you understand the interface & the routing of it, it is a very powerful tool (fm synthesis )
also you can separate the 2(creation of tracks & sound design),when you're bored & have nothing better to do fire up your favorite synth & create something(sound) from
scratch
a couple of presets today,a couple tomorrow......before you know it & as you know sometimes time flies ,you will have your own folder with lets say 100 presets.....then fire up your favorite DAW & let magic happen

 

That's really an important hint. Even if you find a sound that doesn't fit to your actual song, if the sound is good, copy it to your own folder. Could save you hours and days of searching.

for the audiosex community,enjoy , this is Poseidon :

 

What's up with the "for the audiosex community" thing every time you post a track?
Surely you're writing for yourself.

 

No my friend, you got it wrong, it is not for myself,i share my music with & for the audiosex community
If you don't like it, there are plenty of threads that you can enjoy here on the forum,
Thank you for listening

spyfx

 

I share my music here too, but writing honestly it's never for the community always myself, whether that be the composition itself or for the potential of gratification from affirmation and likes.

As for "If you don't like it, there are plenty of threads that you can enjoy here on the forum", it's not a like or dislike thing, it was just a question about the motive which you've now answered (even if in a bit precious sort of way).

 

nice

nice, but that is you not me

nice on this ^ too ,i don't have any motives & no facade from spyfx,what you see/listen is what you get

 

Of course you have a motive, we all do, otherwise we wouldn't get out of bed of a morning.
But sure, whatever you say

 

Here is what i say to you follow your bliss always

a motive is an indication of desire, nothing wrong with desire, but i'm trying to live a desireless life ,
why you may ask ? : because i feel (K) complete

don't assume it is the same for everyone my friend

i don't like getting out of bed ,i'm more of a night guy & like/enjoy lucid dreaming too

Thank you for your time, now back to music !

 

I'm not going to argue with you in your own thread, that'd be distasteful.

 

update # 14 :

for the audiosex community,enjoy this is Spiritus :

 

Another different track from you. Nice one. I really liked the celli in the intro, but then they were gone.
But that's life, things come and go, maybe they're comming back?

Danke

 

Very nice Spy, keep up the good werks!

Your already did...and it is Distasteful! An opinion on his music, ok..I can see that. But...

He was just sharing his music, his way...How can you judge him on that on his thread?!
