Something like Massive offers different possibilities and a different style of workflow to FL's native synths. purchasing something new, I'd say go for it. In terms of learning your DAW's synths vs. With Harmor imo you'll be able to come up with more original sounds from the get-go (especially if you start messing with the resampling engine), however it may take you a while to get something good out of the synth rather than just squelchy distorted mush. if you pick Massive you'll be able to achieve these but as a beginner your sounds will probably end up sounding like every other person who uses Massive for bro bass, but as you progress it's possible to develop sounds to become more original. Massive also has the wide variety of wavetables you can mess around with.īy the sounds of your posts you probably want to make some bro/tearout basses. Harmor has the nice ability to resample stuff (check out SeamlessR's tutorials for an intro to this) but I personally found it had a much steeper learning curve, to me Massive is more intuitve and I was able to make the sounds I wanted quicker - I put a lot of that down to the GUI and the way you can link paramaters using drag/drop. Neither is better, they're different but can both be used for dubstep.
#HARMOR VST NATIVE HOW TO#
If you suck at using your DAW (FL) then having a decent synth wont make any difference, you need to learn how to use your DAW first.ĭonaldbeebi wrote:Thank you for the replies, but I want to know, Harmor and massive, which one does better in bass? in dubstep production? which one of them is better in certain genre? That being said though, it would be worth your while just fully getting to grips with your DAW and the plugins that come with it for now you've only been producing for a few months, who knows, in another couple of months you may decide producing music isn't for you and you'd have wasted a lot of money on a synth you'll never use! Personally I've never used Harmor or Harmless, however I do use Massive and I'll always recommend it as a beast of a synth definitely worth buying if you can afford it. I disagree with the opinion that all you need is the native synths that come with a DAW if this were true other synths wouldn't exist and the big producers would only be using native synths.
It is worth learning the synths that come with your DAW inside out, and this will help you get to grips with other synths. While it is true that simply purchasing a decent synth wont automatically make you a good music producer, I believe that it can open more possibilities.
