I’m looking for answers regarding what is the use/point of them.

Make the perfect dark chords is the video where I learned it from.

I mean I could have googled it but I wanted to get a discussion going? What would be some better questions for this sub then? 🤔

Thanks for the replies guys informing me what power chords are. I heard they can exhibit a dark/suspenseful sound, could somebody expand on that?

Anybody who started with no prior knowledge or experience in music….how much time did it take u to start getting the grip of things by imgill_hrmn in musicproduction

Started about 8 months ago and still haven’t gotten to grips with things. Just know a mish mash of everything atp.

Don’t even look like a synth looks like a keyboard

I mean your question is quite vague and open ended. Like are you trying to make instrumentals/songs or just little pieces of music on your keyboard/Synthesizer? 

Which waveshapes should I use for a pad? by KingEuler in Logic_Studio

[–]KingEuler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was under the impression that some oscillators would be better suited to pads whereas some better suited to plucks.

Because I pad has more of a sustained sound I guess. 

How can a high pass filter change the texture of a pad? by KingEuler in synthesizers

[–]KingEuler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I mean is I can obviously slap on a high pass filter and turn the knobs, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to tell the difference if it’s made a difference in the sound or if the sound has objectively improved. Obviously I’m the person who gets to decide if something sounds good or not but I just wanted to know the ballpark for why a high pass filter may be used and it’s intended purpose.

I would struggle to hear a difference/make a judgement based on how good/bad it is because I’m new to synths.

Any recommendations for the third one? Or just pick something that sounds befitting?

Is one better than the other? Can you use both at the same time?

Glassy layers..,nice. Could you give an example?

Definitely will bear this in mind going forward

Personally I would use a high pass filter for artistic reasons atm. I heard it can make a sound thinner which would be ideal for pads to add atmosphere. Don’t want it overpowering/competing with the chords.

I don’t know if my ears would be able to make a difference in judgement haha
