I was working on a new Dubstep/Electro song today and found myself once again Googling different synth sounds that some of my favorite artists use. Presets, Vst's, Plugins, anything to get that "quick" good sound. Unsatisfied with my search results I decided, might as well just mess around with ES2 for a while in Logic and see what I can come up with. 20mins later I had saved 3 new Presets of my own and created almost exactly the sound I wanted. The presets I saved are amazing sounds I am sure I will use in the future, but if not for the fact I gave up on the internet and the millions of presets, stretched out and spent time actually doing the work myself I would have never had those sounds and may have been kicking myself later when I "Really" need that one sound. Yes I could've probably found the sound I wanted in a preset somewhere but when it comes down to it I would rather have a sound I can say I produced myself rather than a sound I obtained from someone else. Who wants to say when someone asks where that lead came from "well the site called everypresetever.com/logicpro thats right no one does we want to say "I created it in ES2 what do you think?'" It gives purpose and pride in what we producers do, what we live for. Next time you Google "synth lead preset" grab your keyboard and favorite synthesizer and see what you can make yourself.
