why is my synth part boring?

[046oh]

whenever i don't use a preset or try to copy someone's sound design, but instead try to come up with my own synths, my track ends up being quite boring.
the only difference i notice are
- wave shape is saw / sine / square
- plucky sound or sustained sound
- is either a lead / bass or a pad

how can i be more interesting with my sounds?

 

[bandcoach]

it's not your sounds but your musical choice of noes to use in each part

I've also learned that your mixing techniques may also have an impact on how "boring" a beat may sound.

A simple pluck is boring.

A simple pluck with delay is a bit better.

A simple pluck with delay and reverb is more interesting.

A pluck chord with delay, reverb, some chorus, EQ, enhancing, stereo separation, etc is awesome.

Some sounds can go a better whay when you create movement into them. Filtering (lowpass, bandpass, comb, or double knotch, with LFOs) can make them insteresting. This movement can also be created by phasing.

i tried to cover both things in this bassline bandcoach and ddream mentioned: notes and modulation

i played with the hp and got a similar effect; are there any other parameters i can tweak?

Which bass-line are you referring to? The main bass-line sounds like a reese/neuro bass. Btw remember that a huge part of making the sound is in the processing of the synth patch in the mixer channel.

the one around 1:19
it goes really screechy and then drops
i tried high passing + modulation, but i'm not sure if that's what i'm supposed to do.
