Hey-- First post here
I am not new to music production, I have been messing around casually for the last few years. I have started to take it more seriously though and am trying to pursue it.
I have a question. I use logic pro x as my DAW, and am able to make a pretty decent trap beat relatively easily using the presets in the built in synths like alchemy. Heres the thing though. If I want to be serious I want my beats to be unique and not easily copy-able. Do many big producers actually use the "preset sounds" on synths? Or are they sampling/creating their own sound then putting it into a synth? I just feel like even If I can make a banger instrumental off a preset such as "Dark synth" or somthing, it's still not that good or unique because it's not really my sound i'm just arranging it into a pattern... make sense? For example, anyone who owned that software could now go in and make that beat because I didn't edit or create the sound, just used the preset. So basically I am asking if good producers actually use standard un-edited presets in DAWs for their sounds, are they just editing the presets, or are they creating their own and putting it into the synth? I hope this makes sense.
Any opinions appreciated
