Per, Great point about presets being no different than real instruments. Haven't really considered it in that way. I think I'm going to start exploring presets too now. I've had a habit of completely ignoring presets in synthesizers and even completely deleting the plugin if there was no basic default preset to start from scratch. I just realized, how the heck would I gain any creativity for new sounds when I never allow myself to listen to the plugin's potential through presets! haha On Jan 29, 2012, at 2:13 PM, Per Boysen <perboysen@gmail.com> wrote: > I don't prefer any way more than the other, just want to get the sound > I hear in my imagination.
