Creating synths with Reason

hey guys. sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but i figured it would be better to post here than in the production studio.
i was wondering if there was any advice on creating synths? i'm working with reason right now, and since i'm just starting out i don't have too much experience.
i'm looking for something similar to the synth used in, let's say,
perwert - symphonic
fire and ice - lost emotions 2001
veracocha - carte blanche [french edit]
chemistry - we are one
is there anything online about creating patches, and is there anyone that can give some advice? just a point in the right direction would be appreciated :)
thanks a million. |

the best way to start out in my opinion is to go through patches until you find a sound that is decent and then mess with all the settings one at a time and keep changing the sound until you get something you like. also, it helps me to go ahead and add effects like reverb and maybe delay or distortion too, that way while im changing the synth sound it already has effects on it so ill already have a near final sound. if you tweak every instrument you make this way and make instruments that add in a certain piece or pieces of the "sonic puzzle" (like.. you want each sound to occupy a somewhat different range of frequencies so that the combination of all of your instruments will fit together nicely and cover the whole frequency spectrum, while not getting in the way of each other... this will make each instrument more audible and the whole mix will be clearer). Hope this helps.

i always tried to figure out what the problem was with some of my beats sounding too empty in a way. the bit about spectrum filling makes perfect sense. |
