When it comes to making music, sound design is one of the most integral parts of the process. As a member of my Patreon, one of the many benefits you receive is the opportunity to get detailed feedback from a seasoned sound designer like myself, right here on the platform. 

In this long-awaited preset feedback video, I provide you guys with some helpful sound design tips, no matter if you submitted presets to be critiqued or not. I believe we all have something to share so hopefully some of the advice that I offer up in this video helps you along on your own sound design journey. 

Cheers and thank you for your continued support on Patreon!

Some of those are out of this world! However I did notice that some of them sound great with the backing track, and others clash with it - what is it that makes some work and others not?

Thank You so much for your detailed feedback, I was amazed at how you turned some presets around in seconds and provided specific advice especially in the area of ARP tuning, something I had not even considered and which has again guided me for the next progression of the preset pack. Indeed some presets started as leads, pads, etc and then turned into ARP's - almost as I wasn't happy that they were not musical enough on their own, when in fact they may not even need to - because the backing track may need to be taken into account for its own existing (or not) rythm. I will take these lessons into the next revision of the presets and can't wait to hear the results. I can't thank you enough for everything Chris! And here I go again 10.000 Feet high - Literally!
