Hey guys. My first post here. I've initially posted this on r/audioengineering but figured this also belonged here since music is where I'm essentially coming to and from.
I'm totally new to audio engineering and music production, or rather should I say playing around in FL Studio. I'm alright with making beats and cool chord progressions, using nexus for the piano and ready samples for my beats.
I started making a liquid drum and bass track recently and bought NI MASSIVE for the purpose of making fat basslines and leads. But oh my days as soon as I choose the wave type in the first oscillator I'm done. Literally no clue how to progress from there. I understand that its a very very complicated and advanced software therefore I'm okay with being as clueless with it as I am but it got me to realize that this isn't about music anymore but more about raw sound programming and wave shaping.
I've since then watched countless videos, just finished a course with a few dozen separate lessons while replaying each one several times but it's still black magic to me. It's very hard but I'm very interested.
TL;DR Since I emptied my wallet with the purchase, is there a good free resource that i should get my hands on in order to (most effectively) learn this synthesizer, to a point where an idea is turned into a complete sound without maneuvering blindly over the interface and actually being able to say what I'm doing from start to finish? Or is that ability an effect of year long studies in professional universities?
