I wonder, to all the folks saying they start from init, is it really just about the joy of tweaking the synthesizer and crafting a sound? More than the actual making of music or writing a song?
Building a patch from init every time feels like more of a technical endeavor to me. I do that if I want to learn about the synthesizer, but after getting to know her, it’s way easier to just find a preset that’s close and use the knowledge to dial it back to what’s it supposed to be.
I’m just curious how much time you guys have for making music?
As a songwriter/composer, my life relies on templates, organization, presets and libraries. If I spent all my time building everything from scratch everytime, it would really eat into the time spent on writing. And I’m working full time at it. That’s a loss of income.
Is the patch building more of a hobby?
Really curious here, this just makes me feel like everyone has more free time than me, I’m jealous.
