On top of that you can rent-to-own it at no extra cost and cancel your subscription at any time and start it again. It is deep, the UI is easy, there are many many tutorials on it and it sounds freaking amazing. If you are looking for an easy synth to start out with try Serum. There are many good tutorials on all types of productions. It's not free, but it blows any youtube tutorial out of the water and I think it is quite cheap. has very deep tutorials of all of the Native Synths and probably whatever else you own. Out of all of those I'd recommend you start with Monark and Razor, since they are the simplest ones and well get the basics in place. Then there is Reaktor and itøs user libraries, which pretty much give you an unlimited amount of options. Monark is a freaking Mini Moog and it sounds very authentic! FM8 is one of the best FM synthesizers out there. Absynth is great for atmospheric and evolving soundscapes. Massive is advanced, aggressive and very deep. You don't need to buy any synths, if you own Komplete Ultimate. And I hadn't even reached the compression part of the tutorial yet. I started using it every day for a few weeks and suddenly I could hear compression attack and release times on 2-3 db compression. It's great not only for learning what the parameters do, but training your ear for mixing as well. The Midi Fighter Twister is probably the most powerful controller for this purpose and if you take the time to set it up it will be very close to the real thing: You could consider mapping your soft synths to a controller. They are expensive and not very pragmatic. So to recap, is there a synth that you good folks would recommend for learning the basics on? Cheers! GarageBand, like many other DAWS, comes with the ability to install plug-ins and they’re fun to use. I've got a fair few to grow into already and would consider Zebra/Omnisphere etc. VST plug-ins are probably one of the greatest things about using a digital audio workstation, in addition to the fact you can go back to your work at any time and fix whatever you have to make your song sound good. I'm also not, at this time, looking for a synth that I can grow into as this is primarily a synth just to learn the basics of synthing. I'm not necessarily looking to buy a synth if I own one already. So distorted, modulated moving/shifting bassy pads and the like.Ī couple of my tracks that feature the type of sounds I use at the moment: The sounds I use at the moment tend to be those from the Massive preset packs from Leap Into the Void and The Unfinished. so that I can aim for a sound in my head. I want to know where to start from the initial sound wave from the oscillators (apologies for getting any of this wrong by the way), through all the filters, ADSR, effects etc. I've been toying with the idea of buying a hardware synth so that I can learn how to create my own sounds but figured that I could do the learning on a (possibly) much cheaper software synth first.
