So yea it's kinda hard to narrow down what I'm trying to ask but basically the question is where exactly do you start? I have a fair amount of knowledge on software and hardware but what I'm stuck with is how exactly do you get the sounds your looking for. When I hear an idea in my head I tend to have no clue on how I'm going to make the actual sound I'm hearing. I really just need some pointers to get me learning the right things. My main focus is festival EDM so tracks with really big drops and lots of atmosphere. It's fine hearing these ideas in my head but again I end up sitting in FL no having a clue what to do. Is it best to buy synth presets and samples from websites? My view is that at least they are made by people who know what they are doing so it seems like the right idea? Sorry for the long post but i really do need some direction.
