I don't want to get holier than thou, but can I ask, did you purchase sylenth, massive, zebra, fm8 etc...? or are they cracks? Thats quite an arsenal of synths for a beginner who's unsure about things.

The only reason I ask is if one is not prepared to pay for the software then I doubt they would be willing to pay for tutorial sites such as Sonic Academy, Ask Video or Groove 3. They all have good tutorials based on synthesis and actual arranging and production.

Anyways try those sites and also subscribe to Computer Music magazine, another great source. Good luck.

The problem is instead of learning something you just go and download the next instant fix.

Buy something and learn it inside out.
Then you'll know what the missing link is and you can then buy that and learn it.

You may think you're clever downloading all this sh!t but you're actually doing yourself a massive disservice.

I didn't 'steal it' it. And if I did, it wouldn't be a disadvantage. I just wanted to check to see if it was my reverb that was the problem or my skills. I found out it was my skills. So now I'm trying to fix the problem; didn't you read my question? I want to learn, I just haven't found a good place to learn from. Thanks for your input anyway.

Well then frankly you're an idiot.

You spent all that money without knowing how to use it?

Have you RTFM? I bet not.

You want to learn but won't read the manual

Visit a seminar for audio producing, buy a book about mixing/effects. I don't know if there are a lot of video tutorials available, IMO there is more stuff how to program a similar sound like X with plug-in Y or if comes to very often used effects like ducking.
You can ask the people which making a similar style/sound. Some magazines like soundonsound having often interviews online where you can get some background information from known producers.

IMO you need only the manual of the plug-in because parameters are described there and sometimes you find also some background information. You must investigate a lot of time to get familiar with this tools and learn how they work with your sounds, there is no short way.

So how can we help you if you don't even use the resources that are available to you?

If reading is for old people, maybe you are to young to make music. Come back in 20 years or so.

One of the reasons you are being hassled about reading is because the people here know there is no short cut to understanding sound design, composition and mixing. There is no Big Red Button.

So ... if you read one thing about sound synthesis and mixing today, read this:

I started using only loops. I started with Acid Pro, the very first version. Then I just posted on their site and got lots of great feedback. This taught me a lot of things. Then someone showed my FL Studio and I took it farther from there. Now I just discovered Studio One and love it.

Exactly.

There's no substitute for hard work and talent.

It isn't just a case of downloading or purchasing the next big shiny thing as an instant fix.
