Well, instead of using my hardware synths, I decided to crank up the soft synth UVI Falcon thru Ableton Live. I think Falcon is considered a digital recreation. And it has so many settings, it could blow your mind. Anyway, I had a blast fooling around with the controls, and I saved some of them as presets.
I’m thinking that I should break out Pigments by Arturia, which is another soft synth and Serum, another deep and satisfying soft synth.
Maybe I need to take a longer break from using only hardware to make my music, since I seem to be stuck trying to wrap up the album which I had hoped would be a DAW-less creation. It’s proved to be more difficult to pull off than I originally had thought.
