Synths and applications

[tjmidge]

i was going to post this on the production topic however i thought with such an open topic that it might flood it a little so i decided to begin a new thread. what im asking here is what synths people are using - however i now this has been asked before so i decided to include WHERE you are using them. i am summarising that as producers we dont just make one style therefore i thought people could give insight to what they use and where....for example someone who produces primarily dutch house...what synths are you using etc etc

for me when creating basses i generally use minimoog or minimonsta. weather this be sub bass or a thick lead bass.

for leads im rolling wth sylenth and rob papens predator, i generally make stabs or chord progressions as i have not yet attemptem such styles as dutch house.

pads i generally check out nexus, got some nice thick pads!

and for any other sounds like maybe the use of organs i genrally hit the korg m1

when it comes to strings i havent really found a favourite place although i find sylenth or nexus have some good presets.

what you guys use and where do you prefer to use them?

thats funny we use almost the same synths for the same purposes )
bass - arturia minimoog
leads - sylenth
pads, strings - atmosphere
other sounds - any synth or samples:))

I demoed it. gotta say it is very hard on cpu (especially on my crap laptop). it has a little complicated structure, but I guess once you get its workflow, you can do a lot with it, coz it actually sounds sweet! although I think it cant beat Sylenth ))

I have one qustion I cant find an answer anywhere - regarding Eric Prydz.
I always keep wondering where does he get all those phat analog strings and pads??? if you listen to a lot of his tracks - those strings and pads are awesome and unique!
I heard he uses korg legacy - do those sounds come from there?

just read the Swedish House Mafia's Future Music interview, seems like they are in love with Sylenth too )) but Steve Angello says he got bored with it quickly also some quite revelations from them out there, like they say they used to buy some synths just to use them in a single track and then to forget about them completely:))) doesnt it mean that they just sweep through the presets without getting deep into the synthesis?:)

oh, I didnt want to sound like those crazy purists, that say every blip and click should be done from scratch )))
I also meant that these guys do use presets and do it BIG!!! Axwell also noted that Sylenth presets sound big straightaway without need of additional processing!:)
