I'm currently watching a series about synthesis on ask.video called "The Foundation Of Synthesis" which should be a good starting point before moving on to the more concrete stuff, like the "Reason - Synthesis Explored" series and other more detailed courses. So I'm thinking about starting from the basics of oscillators and work my way through wavetables, filters and all that stuff.Ĭomplex-1 is marketed as a "Modular Synthesizer", so I interpret that as a way of saying it can work as either type of synth (subtractive / additive) and that it's possible to start with a "clean slate" so to speak and build up the basic components with modules and learn how they work together along the way? Or am I wrong? Why are there so many if they all can do pretty much the same thing if set up correctly, and why is one virtual synth considered "better" than another?

Now I want to get a deeper understanding of how the different types of synths work and what they are used for and why. I've been the kind of user that buys a VST and get a bunch of presets and find something that sounds cool. I've never really understood much about synths. Each new video I watch on Groove 3 or Ask Audio Academy gives me "a-ha moments" that I immediately can put into use and have fun with. It's just amazing to actually enjoy learning about a DAW for a change.

I'm not a DJ, so all the session and push related stuff isn't my cup of tea, besides I think the UI is awful.Īlways been fascinated by Reason, but never really "got it", but it's starting to come together now, and I'm loving the creative flexibility that the design of this unique software gives me. I just sold my Ableton Live Suite license, went all-in and purchased Reason 10 together with a couple of RE's.Ībleton wasn't for me. When it comes to DAW's I've been hopping around, trying to find The One Package that magically turns me into a fantastic, hit producing, music machine, but reality has a tendency to creep up on me, and I realize that this is off course wishful utopia at best. I'm 42 now and started when I was 13, so a few years it is.

I'm not much of a musician, but I've played guitar for a few years.

I'm a software developer (day job) and a hobby musician at nighttime and in any spare time-slot I can find in my schedule. This is my first post in here, so I'll try not to sound like a complete moron, but this post will be too long for most people, so just skip to the main question after TL DR if you're not the type who cares about introductions. First impressions count, or so I've heard.
