FireWalk | Are You Cheating If You Use Presets & Loops As A Music Producer? @FireWalkMusic | Uploaded December 2019 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
Are you cheating if you use VST presets? Are you less of a producer if you don't make all your sounds yourself?
I often see this debate on various groups and forums. Some say that you have to make every sound yourself, or else you're not much of a producer. In this short video I'll let you know what I think about this.

Note: I encourage everyone to learn synthesis. If you learn to master this then you can make almost any sound you want. This can come in really handy!
