I really want to make all kinds of complicated sounds like mechanical/engineering noises (not dubstep sounds), and just really anything I think of that has a unique timbre. Seeing some subtractive synthesizers and working out a way to recreate these noises seems impossible. Probably is possible though. I think I saw a video saying something along the lines of "with subtractive synthesis you're limited depending on the wave forms provided to you and Fm synthesis lets you break through that barrier of limitation". Something like that. But is it really true? Should I consider learning fm? I understand the concept of fm and seeing people use it on live streams like seamless makes me think it's way harder than subtractive. Or would it be better to read the synth secrets series that I keep seeing on this website and ignore fm.
