Sometimes, sound design tips that are unassuming on the surface can have a transformative impact on your track.
In the tutorial video above, veteran producer and instrumentalist Mad Keys returned to the Splice YouTube channel to share five sound design tips that inspire his creativity. From layering multiple timbres to blending textures into lead synths, he covers a wide array of topics that transcend genres. While he uses Arturia’s FX Collection to showcase each concept, you can readily apply many of them with a DAW’s stock plugins or other alternatives.
“I hope you all learn something new,” Mad Keys says. “One thing I always like to remind myself about is that music is truly about experimentation. We should always approach it with a childlike mentality and just really have fun with it.”
