Often however, they don&#8217;t even know how to use their synth properly, perhaps not even really understanding synthesis itself.<\/p>\n<p>This can be easily fixed. Download the manual and read it from cover to cover. Many companies add tips and tricks in their manuals, if not don&#8217;t worry. Watch tutorials online and understand how to use the gear and techniques.<\/p>\n<p>The reason is, audio equipment is made by clever people. They make it so you are able to make the sounds you want. Discovering a new synth sound isn&#8217;t something which takes scholars millennia to achieve, merely, a simple understanding of the controls in front of you is sufficient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can guarantee one thing about most of the readers: they don&#8217;t read the
