Hey,
one thing I'm asking myself for every production is how to optimize my FX/Synth workflow. In the meantime I really got a lot of synth and sounds to use. Guess this is the starting point. But whats next?
Usually I bounce my mix, get it into a new project (with same tempo track), and then start programming. I often don't know where to start. To get near to some pro productions like sturgis and co you really have to put in alot of layers of sounds to make it modern and huge. Mostly I start just with a few strings or a piano to find some chords or melodies that fit. After that I'm searching some nice sounds for them. This is in my case the weirdes part. I just loop my midi data and click through the presets. This can take soo much time. How do you deal with this? Do you create sounds by yourself or do you know your presets like the back of your hand and just search for the right one? The other tricky part is how to edit glitches etc. I use to record my synth to a new track when I'm happy with it, and then edit it like I want. But this also takes hours. Is anyone having some nice hints? How do you deal with this part of production?
