Thread  RSS How I does the musics

Last year, I went from using outboard hardware synths to almost exclusively using software synths. At first I wasn't sure how the quality would turn out but they ended up sounding better, overall.

Here's the list of what I'm using right now for sounds:

SampleTank 2L (sampler and wavetable synth)

Miroslav Philharmonik (realistic orchestral wavetable synth)

Dimension LE (general purpose synth)

Cakewalk TTS-1 (great bread-and-butter synth with basic sounds I need!)

Z3TA+ (the grand-daddy of all analog modeling synths - has HUGE sounds)

DSK TechSynth Pro (another awesome analog synth I use a LOT)

DSK Church Organ

DRFusion Drums

DSK AkoustiK GuitarZ

DSK Brass

DSK ChoirZ

DSK Darkness Theory

DSK KaoS Beta

RGC Audio SFZ+ (Soundfont Player)

DSK ZetH and ZitH (Analog modeling synths)

DSK Synthopia 2

DSK B3x

LightBag II (amazing drawbar organ synth)

Matnitron

Turntablist Pro (turntable simulator that plays any .wav file as a vinyl record)

My DAW is Cakewalk Music Creator 5.

I'm trying to get better at playing guitar but my guitar skills are... I want to say "limited" but I think a more appropriate term is "non-existent".

Being unfamiliar with synths, I'll take your word for it that they're good picks.

As far as the music on this site goes, my favorites are the orchestral / symphony ones.

You should do more techno / dubstep stuff. Just saying.

The outboard gear was purchased in 1999, Wolfwood. It's quite old.

The software synths probably sound better simply because the technology has improved so much since then.

Kyler, I am going to do some more techno / electronica pieces but I can't seem to get dubstep quite right.
