Re: Sound Design // FM Synthesis // Foley Design
Very nice thread. A great collection of info.
Re: Sound Design // FM Synthesis // Foley Design
Incredible, thank you. Ill be sure to go through everything when I get home, there's so much information contained within these threads that's just begging me to read 
It's all well and good for me making some tunes, using samples, playing about to create sounds, when it comes down to it, I'll never make anything that great without properly delving into and learning how sound design and synthesis works, so hopefully this will provide me with a basis to get more involved and to expand my knowledge
But yeah, if this isn't stickied, I don't know what should be
