Harmonic Horizons Ep: 16 - Less is More! Using Less Plugins and Getting Better Results (Patreon)

Less is More! Using Less Plugins and Getting Better Results

Join us as we talk about minimalism in music production and how we can achieve more and often better results by using less plugins tools. Focusing only on a handful of the best tools we have at our disposal, can surprisingly give us better results that we expect! We've all felt Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS) and how it makes us feel we need more and more tools to produce a better product, and oftentimes that is not the case! Chris from S1gns Of L1fe is an ambient music producer, content creator and sound designer from the Bay Area, CA. He is the co-founder of Synphaera Records, exosphere, and Material by Synphaera. Jon Audio teaches sound design of many different kinds of electronic music as well as specific courses of popular synthesizers.
