Start using FM8 in your electronic music
Once again, we want to give a special shout-out to Laidback Luke for coming on and talking about the history of FM synthesis and why now is the perfect time to start embracing this method of sound design. It might seem intimidating at first, but it’s nowhere near as complicated as it looks.
FM synthesis is having a huge resurgence, whether it’s the donk-style sounds in techno and house or the iconic Reese bass, which is everywhere from drum and bass to house, tech house, and beyond.
This sound is defining the moment, and there’s no better time to start using tools like FM8 to recreate these tones. Laidback Luke shared a ton of workflow tips, his go-to presets, and the parameters he tweaks most when dialing in sounds.
Check out FM8 below, and once again, a huge thanks to Laidback Luke. Don’t forget to stream his latest track, It Clicked, out now on Dim Mak Records. Add it to your playlist and share it – because this guy is a living legend, and everything he touches in the studio is absolute gold.
