One of the things I like are weird/experimental sounds, so The Cube and also Cycles from Slate and Ash for instance get me really excited and feeling creative. But maybe that IS the way to go, at least to get started. I also watch a lot of YouTube videos, but pretty much all of them are of music/genres I don't even like or don't want to make. At first I was like, I don't want to pin my self down too much and get 'stuck' in a genre. Do some research into the instruments or techniques they use.Ī lot of people are recommending to pick a genre you want to make to start with. Find musicians or genres that use those sounds. Start simple, focus on just a few sounds you like that you want to use in your music. Maybe you're right, maybe I just need to learn to make those basic sounds and go from there.īefore spending $ I would maybe spend some time thinking about what you really do need. You do not need 43 videos to learn how to make a great basic sound or two. I would caution against being too intimidated to make your own sounds from scratch via pigments or something else. I see a lot of people saying that Labs DOES have that, that's why it drew my attention. But with hundreds or even thousands of 'presets' the UI, the browsing and navigating have to be top notch to get (the most) use out of it. I'm still not sure which would be the best option for me, I feel for a beginner Lab would be more beginner friendly then Pigments. If you have too many options you might get lost of feel drowned in the endless possibilities. I can only flick through so many random sounds before losing focus. Goal-directed creativity will get you better results than just buying a huge library of sounds and trying to sift through to find something you like.įor me I've learned that often a big comprehensive preset library is not the best way to get results. Do some research into the instruments or techniques they use. Maybe Analog Lab has those sounds, or maybe something else will suit you better.īefore spending $ I would maybe spend some time thinking about what you really do need. Then you will learn what sound design ideas will actually get you to where you want, or what you need to buy to get what you want. Learning some basic concepts can you very far. If the organization of the sounds is super good, that helps. For me I've learned that often a big comprehensive preset library is not the best way to get results. You say you feel stuck, unable to find sounds you want. However! I do think sometimes a big preset library is not actually the best thing for beginners. And generally the stock sounds are engaging enough right out of the box. Good for beginners? Yes, it can be a nice way to introduce you to the styles and sounds of some famous synths, without digging too deep. The sounds are actually emulated, it's not a rompler but yes, similar in practice.
