No matter what type of producer you are, chances are you've used a preset. Whether it's loading up the first patch on a brand new synth, or downloading a new pack from your favorite sound designer, somewhere along the line we've all used one. Not that presets are bad, they're actually quite good! I'm a firm believer in the power of presets which is why I made this video.

In this video, I offer up some strategies on how to best utilize the power of presets so you can make the most of them in your own music production. While I do that, we also take a look at a brand new (and very good!) batch of ambient presets for "Unify" from PluginGuru from a new bank called "Modern Cinema - Ambient Dreams." It's really quite amazing, as you'll soon see.

Cheers and enjoy!

Thanks, Chris. Great tutorial (as always). Before joining up here, presets for me were black boxes to be used or discarded pretty much "as is." Too opaque and mysterious. Being here has now helped to unlock their inner workings, and being able to use them as you say here, for deconstruction/modification/customization, education, and inspiration. <3
