Should You Use Presets? 12:55
Course description

Bluffmunkey's back with a discussion that frequently crops up on forums and social media - Should you use presets? and are you 'cheating' if you do?

In this quick video we look at the history of preset use and how we can use them to speed up workflow and inspire our creation. Although it's definitely worth learning how to use your synths and understanding sound design, presets will always have their place in helping you move on quickly with creating your tracks - and with literally thousands and thousands to choose from, are you really going to sound like everyone else if you use them?

Check it out and let us know what you think in the comments!
