Why r you resample and then filter? Zebra's filters are probably better than simpler/sampler.

you sir just won the internet!

@lloydy - yeah that's the point of this thread, opinions, I was just sharing mine too

Today wrote:I like making pads with massive
the performer/stepper is sick for FX dry/wet, WT, etc.
i guess it is one of the better synths for drums too
Arturia's sound quality is top, but i thought the Arp was useless, i like the Moogs

You should try Absynth or Omnisphere for pads then

Keytrack exactly

The thing about Massive isn't only the learning curve. For example, I know EVERYTHING about Albino and the older z3ta version (from back when I produced psy trance), probably even more than I know Massive, but I get better results with Massive anyway. It's not the learning curve but the workflow tha...

darkpsy? haha, I started as a morning/night full on psy producer (although I stopped 5 years ago). we're mates (although in totally opposite sides of the spectrum).

when I start a song I have the kick & snare peaking at 0db with a limiter on the master :6: :noob: actually, most of the times I start songs outside the studio, on my laptop speakers (i get most inspiration outside the studio and I don't have headphones), so it's a necessary evil. i only mix whe...

I'm on my laptop speakers but to get punchy drums you need:
1) Good samples (obviously). Goldbaby have very punchy snares.
2) A very good compressor with a release around 50ms (tweak it, I'm not sure of the value) OR a transient shaper.
3) Everything sidechained to the kick & snare.

Yeah beatport bpm detection sucks!

For example: Porter Robinson - Spitfire (Kill The Noise Remix)
Real BPM: 172 BPM
Beatport BPM: 115 BPM (dafuq?!)

I can understand being 2x or 1/2 (to be truth, the real BPM in Dubstep is 70bpm imho, we just work at half-step) but that one is totally unrelated.

Totally agree with you. Usually, a synth is a trade-off between simplicity (which leads to workflow but lack of variety) and complexity (which leads to variety but lack of workflow). I tend to prefer the first. The thing about Massive is that it is that it kinda breaks this trade-off. That's why I v...

You don't say? Thank you captain obvious!

j/k, yes I know that, that's why I said in my last post that it is subjective. what I want to know is which synth is the best for your as in which synth gives you better results

as a beatboxer... i agree completly. as a musician, i think not Dub FX is an awesome singer and writter.

I prefer using it as a send effect, allowing me to add processing after reverb (for example, you could widden the reverb on the upper frequencies and mono it on the lower ones).

You can try making the cutoff of the bandpass filter "follow" the notes. Most synths have this function, which synth are you using? A limiter/compressor may also help.

Keep in mind this is subjective, and what I really want to hear is your subjective opinions

Hey there, This is one of the most discussed topic in this forum, so I just thought of making it a pool. Hope I didn't forget any of the majors ones! Just tell which is the absolute best synth iyho! Notes: - Reason synths were included in just one option because you can only buy it at once, you can'...

yeah beardyman and stuff are technically better at beatboxing. but the thing about dub fx is that his tracks are over the edge, awesome music. even if it wasn't made with his voice it would be awesome.

Bitch please...

I do follow the notes. Some 5th's might work but I never tried it.
