@michael surya Check out Sylenth1 though. Dunno, if THOSE artists use it, but this synth definetly makes THAT sound (and comes with loads of presets). |

In all honesty Michael, the advice by deastman is spot on. Though if I had to narrow your quoted producers down to at least one particular instrument, I'd probably say that they use this plug in This plugin is getting kind of long in the tooth, isn't it? Does the latest release include the right filter? I don't buy or update any plugin that doesn't have the right filter. Without the right filter, soft-synths just sound all plasticky and fake. In fact, that's one thing that separates the pros, they know how to use the right filter. |

It is not any synth that makes pros sound so pro. It is Secret Pro maximizer/warmifier/exiter effect plugin you put in to master channel. There are two presets. First is preset "pro" which makes everything sound at least 104,2 % better. For additional 2500 dollars you can buy preset "Ultra Pro" which makes sound even 257,3 % better and is guaranteed to make chart topper. ---- Signature blocked until 5000000 posts made. |
