A big part of creating unique tracks is getting your synths to sound unique and distinct from each other as well as from other producers. If you’ve been used to working with presets and know how it feels to be trying to find that one sound, why not start learning how to make it yourself?
This video will get you started.
As daunting as it may seem at first, making simple patches is really fast from the get-go, so don’t feel like you won’t be able to immediately put that knowledge to work.
This video also goes into some technical details between different types of synthesis to avoid problems that you might encounter later in the mixing stage.
If you need a free alternative to Serum, consider Vital from a previous post! Although, you should be able to follow it with any other synthesizer!
I hope this video helps you guys on your journey!
