Hah. Well how can I avoid using generic sounds if every wana-be trance producer on the planet is using the same instrument?
Look, I'm not saying it's impossible to make a unique sounding track with only the Virus, and I don't doubt that I couldn't spot the Virus in a mix when it's used well, but I don't want to have to go through all the effort to avoid sounds I've heard 1000 times. This is not an easy thing to do with the Virus ... basically avoiding its character. |
You've missed the point completely. YOU as a keen synth enthusiast and experienced producer might recognise the virus character but about 99% of people out there who will listen to your music won't have a clue.
They might be able to differentiate a supersaw from a fart bass sound, but they certainly couldn't differentiate one supersaw from another and know when certain tracks have been made with the same synths.
I'll try and simplify it further.
5 trance tunes are released to the public. Each one using different synths to the others. But all using the same type of sounds eg - supersaws leads, fart basslines, distorted square stabs etc etc. The group of listeners will hear these tracks and feel they are all very samey in terms of the general sound despite the fact that they all used different synths.
Now take another 5 trance tunes. All are made using primarily the same synth and nothing else. But every tune uses its own unique sounds, nothing generic with plenty of variety between them. The group of listeners hear these and would never guess they all used the same synth because the SOUNDS used varied greatly.
Comprende?
You almost give the impression that you do use generic "heard it all before" sounds and therefore believe that the only way to differentiate your track from someone else is through choosing a less common synth.
