Dj Mustard has use the sound as a main melody in 4 songs that I know of
Does anyone know where I can find this sound?

I used to think it was cheating too, until I read some discussions about it and thought: My music is aimed at the average joe firstly, not a producer. So what basically happens is: the person listening to the song won't even know you used the "Smooth reese 99" preset of Massive on a song of yours. He/she won't even know what Massive is.I doubt you'll ever be a good producer if you don't learn a little sound design. Presets are ok but I always feel guilty if I use them because it's cheating a little bit.

Yes. If there's a preset you want that replicates the sound you want perfectly, use it.
but,
unless your music is very generic and uses all the same sounds found in lots of other tracks, you're going to have a hard time getting hold of the exact sounds you want without the ability to tweak presets.
Besides, you don't have to be incredible at sound design to make useable patches. Lots of nice sounds are really simple.
I wouldn't go quite that farso you want to be a goat farmer??????
I wouldn't go quite that far
It's like learning music theory... not essential, but very useful in many genres and a little bit goes a long way.
Well, depends on the genre. If you're making house music, dubstep or dnb, it's not essential at all.haha whaaat? who put that idea in your head? Music theory is very essential, maybe if you learnt more about it you'd realize how essential it is. This is coming from someone who only knows very basic theory and wants to learn more though, so I'm not a pro or anything.
Well, depends on the genre. If you're making house music, dubstep or dnb, it's not essential at all.
If you're making rock, pop, or hip-hop, basic theory is essential but advanced isn't- you could just use four chords and that'd be fine in many cases.
If you're writing classical music or jazz, advanced theory is essential.
Of course, in all those genres extra theory is useful, just not necessary.
I think 'good' house, dnb and dubstep artists is subjective. Yes, there are generic bigroom producers who know no theory and their music is crap.Look at what you're saying. I don't even know how to respond, your attitude on the subject is blowing my mind haha.
Not essential for house/dnb or dub step? Please..thats the reason why there is so much garbage house/dnb and dub step. It needs that melodic aspect, like ANY music. GOOD trance songs, etc always have a BEAUTIFUL melody to go with it, or playing in the back, or whatever. The generic garbage ones don't. And do you ever hear of people hating on music because the band just sits there 'playing the same chords the whole time?"
Do you realize that lots of the "good" electro and house artists ARE classically trained musicians? Meaning they DO have advanced theory.
I shouldn't have to explain it to you, just the fact that you are saying its USEFUL should be a push for you in the direction to learn it. Drums are USEFUL but aren't necessary. Same with Synths, they're useful..but they aren't necessary. Goes for anything. You don't cut something out because its not necessary, you master it because its useful. Your head is on backwards or something haha.
