Cheers for all the replies guys, guess I had the wrong idea about presets, I see what you mean when you look at it from the other instrument perspective with drums and pianos

i been done used presets before, but thats mostly just random. i

i like the acid trumpet preset on crystal though.

Let me ask you this...

Do you record your own electronic/acoustic drum hits?


If it sounds good , use em!

I personally have never used a preset on a bass. but quite a lot of preset tweaking if im after a certain pad or lead sound, yes.

Some people synthesize/record most of their sounds, including drums. Not because they think they are better than others, just because thats the way they work.

OP their is no right, or wronge, just what works for you imo.

Yeah end of forum basically but I do know people that build their own VST, I know people that build their own analogue gear and what have you. Also know that quite a few Juno patches among other synths influenced piles of electronic music. Hell 808, 909, 303. Roland preset makers are the shit! haha. But yeah whatever makes ya happy. It's the ends that justifies the means.

You're using presets if you didn't make the sine/triangle wave yourself.

that's not a preset it's a waveform.

Did you create the waveform? Or is it a pre-made waveform?

Thats just being pedantic.

That was my point, sir.

did you build the microchips and solder your own computer's motherboard and build your own cpu? didn't think so noobs

Par

ofc i use fucking presets. Never on basses and leads and sweeps and stuff though I make those myself. But i use preset pads and ambience a lot in my tracks though.

STANDARD!!!!!

Usually I take a preset and modify to the way I want it to sound. I also use pad presets too here and there but a pad a basically a wave form with a long attack and filter modulations so they;re no that hard to make. I think its best to listen to a sound you like and try to replicate it on your own. It also helps to understand synthesis and how to use your synth as well. My .02 cents.

use them for for pads alot and tweak/add effects but tend to make all my own bass and other patches.
