Everything Else (Music related) • Re: I bought too many soft synths

Go out, listen to some recent music, open your mind.

So you can't actually point us to anything, can you? Typical.

Alan Wilder did most of their synth sounds before he left in the 90's I really haven't paid much attention to them past Violator, and I would completely disagree with you about DM with Alan Wilder in the band. Their synth sounds were always texturally fantastic.

A lot of them weren't really synth sounds at all. Like Front 242, they were big fans of the EMUlator
so a lot of it was samples and I never liked their sound during that period, from Some Great Reward onwards. There are obviously a few moments but, overall, not much to celebrate. F242 managed to make better use of them but I actually prefer their later sound, when they revamped everything in the late 90s.

Look, bottom line, synths have knobs, faders and routing possibilities and i do find messing with it is the purpose of synthesis

So it's not for making music? Good to know.

Otherwise buy a synth with nothing but a volume knob and buttons to change presets.

You mean like Analog Lab? It seems quite popular.

Right. Because Metallica got big playing anything other than metal with distorted guitars.

And universally recognised terrible production. So you have to think it was the songs and the performances that made them famous. Heavy Metal just provided an audience. Their stuff even sounds good on banjo -
