i just have a few that i know are really good for bass, and ones that are really good for keys parts. I got rid of Massive and some other programs that take more time twiddling than composing.
I have been finding more and more presets for the preset programs in ableton, like operator. There are some nice free build-ons for that around the net.
you still need around 15-20 synths at least, otherwise you'll be stuck with same sound all the time. imo
Once you learn synth construction, type of synths and it's modules it becomes easy.
So you know with what synth you can create a certain sound character and which one suits you best and have wanted modules others don't have. So i try most of them to find a quality ones.
But at the end of course less is more, but that must be real quality.
And if you are to lazy to take time to find a real unique sound, that's just a shame. Tweaking and searching for new sounds comes with a music production, like running comes with football.
don't forget that most of the biggest producers utilize the same sounds in quite a bit of their own songs. You can still hear the same sounds in Prydz's stuff today as you could two years ago. Same with Angello...although he now uses guitars too.
im wanting to downsize not download more
i feel a little a swamped with all the shit on my pc. do i use that do i use this...?
im spoilt for choice
im thinking maybe 3 or 4 vst
make sure one of them can do a good rhodes electric piano sound. Cause that is a major sound in electronic music, and you never know when you might want one in your track.
Hi all
i have a few vst's and want to downsize what im using.
How many vst's instruments do you guys use and is less really more?
Thanks
I use two or thre for basses and synth sounds. I have two or three for pads I have two or three for stabs and REALLY strange noises. I have ONE for drum work.
I find having tons of vsts and presets have nothing to do with making original sounds. If you have one REALLY good synth vst and you know how to use EVERYTHING on it you cna create almost any sound you can think of.
The only reason I even use more than one synth is some of them have cool effects build in that others don't.
For example Synth1 is a free analog synth. There are a million presets for it but when I jump on that thing I can make almost any damn sound I can think of on it.
I think learning to use what youy have and purchasing better effect vsts is the way to go.
It's pretty easy to be bogged down with an endless supply of plug-ins; and depending on the complexity of each one, it can take forever just to learn what each can do.
Get a few high quality synths and learn them to the fullest. This was the best advice ever given to me.
