Again and again I keep running into the same issue - endlessly searching for sounds during creativity flow. Auditioning 200 snares and scrolling through presets and samples does not help the momentum.
More and more this makes sense to me to have a collection of sounds prepared before producing. In recent Produce-A-Ton, Dane showed his collection of recorded sounds in Sampler menu.
Now I’m eager to know whether ther’s like the best strategy for building my collection. What was your strategy?
Did you organize by:
Genre?
Element (kicks, snares, basses, vocals)?Emotional character?
Texture (warm, digital, dusty, aggressive, soft)?“Go-to” sounds that always work for you?
