Most people use presets that are closest the their desired sound, then tweak it some more

I would guess that someone like ATB would be a knob turner, as are most of us. But I've found more than a few patches that mirror ATB's - 9pm Til I come synth.

I practice this approach on occasion.

I take a regular waveform, turn the chorus and delay all the way, along with the rate in order to get something really wierd. Within that really wierd sound there is a sound that I really like and I use EQ and Reverb to extract it getting rid of all the other sounds that I don't like.

i think you will find most good producers actually separate song making and sound making. When they are making sounds, they just make sounds that sound cool to them. If you do this enough, you build a library of patches that are yours.

What you hear from AVB doesn't necessarily comes from AVB. Ever heard of Benno de Goeij?(there might be others too) He might have many sound designer 'friends' who share their 'stuff'.

The point i am trying to make is that no matter what others use,you have to come up with your own presets at some point.That is,assuming if you want to sound different and unique.

Or much simpler,as said earlier....just Tweak Existing presets and see how it goes.I am learning it this way and it definitely helps if you have the least number of external soundbanks/presets.


Cheers and have fun making music

I can't agree with this 100% although I do tend to do sound design in a standalone fashion most of time.

If i'm looking for a particular timbre within a track I will design with the part playing in the track. Sound design on it's own will often net some cool sounding sounds as you say, although they're often not particularly useful in the context of a mix.
