One of the things that we’ve previously struggled with is when to commit to a sound and all the variables you’ve selected and dialed in. Over time, we’ve become more comfortable committing early and bouncing to audio.
That step is key because once you have printed to audio, you can do so much more with it in terms of resampling, reversing, taming transients, isolating specific hits for accentuation, and so much more.
Pro tip from Anvaya: Remove the effects when starting with presets. There are many great presets available, but we find that they’re designed to create a “wow” effect when cycling through them. This is usually through effects, mainly reverb and delay. However, if you’re using multiple layers and synths, this can quickly lead to a muddy mix.
