I have seen discussions about pres set sounds for sale verse programming the synth yourself etc. I am sure amny people use factory pre sets aand/or twaek them a bit.
So it erks (is that a word?) me when people say they heard a pre set factory sound on a recording and because of that, completely and catagorically dismissed the miece of music.
Isn't that a bit shallow. I know the pre set factory sounds on my synths are very, very good and I have quite a few. Yes, I can program but I am in no way a master of the art. For me, it depends on the type of synth and the type of result I want.
Anyway, I am not offended by factory pre sets sounds. I am offended by the dismissal of someones hard one production because of a percieved use of a factory sound.
There is nothing wrong with using factory sounds. To me, the trick is not necessarily the sound itself but how it is used in the music. Therein lies the art. Sure enough there is an art to programming but, if you are evaluating the program, then that is one thing, if you are evaluating the music.
