here is the actual real question.
one thing that basically has me stumped lately is too many presets in my softsynths. i have hard time deciding which timbres to use together, and which timbres tend to lend themselves to particular genres of EDM.
I think what I want to do is find "inspiration through limitations", and limit myself to maybe 2-3 drumkits, 2-3 bass tones, 2-3 chords/pads, and 2-3 sounds to use for leads, and try to make several songs or an album with just those.
i just dont know where to start. Id really appreciate some suggestions. feel free to include utilitarian things that might not go in a final mix, for example, i know Ill want a grand piano preset, just for noodling and working things out, even though I probably wont use it in a song.
