i recently learned about vi hart's fifty fizzbuzzes and decided to do something similar with the technique that's a bit closer to its original intention: i made 50 kick drum sounds today. i've been wanting to get a little bit better at sound design, i haven't seriously dedicated myself to it in a while and this was a good opportunity. i plan on doing this again for other kinds of sounds. i wanna do snares, hats and claps for sure and i might also do pads, leads, and basses.
for this i wound up using almost every softsynth i own. i started with phase plant, then i made some with ableton operator and analog, then i started using the new ableton 12 synth meld, then i made some with ableton wavetable, then a few with sylenth, then a bunch with serum, and then a bunch more with operator and various ableton effects. i learned a lot about all of these synths. i found it really interesting how even doing the same exact thing with two different synths would lead to very different outcomes.
not all of these are great kick sounds, but i like a lot of them and will definitely be using them in the future.
