Hey,
I'm a novice at home recording/production who has been getting pretty into creating electronic music over the past year or so. I'd say by now I know my way around Ableton and am perfectly happy with all the hardware & software I have available to me but I find that my tracks lack the same quality of almost all other tunes I hear...amateur or otherwise.
The main problem is that my synths seem to sound too plain/artificial/rough. I've scoured the net for some sort of tutorial or tips and tricks resource which would point me in the right direction as to what audio effects to use to polish things up but most guides seem to be about what hardware to use or what each effect does rather than cite commonly used electronica production techniques.
Was just wondering if anyone knew of a site or book that would offer some basic pointers on what to experiment with? Or indeed if anyone could give me some tips on what works for them in their music, that would be excellent.
Optional hugs and kisses for whoever can offer any help!
