I've been looking around at people talking about good sound design and i see people saying stuff like skrillex's sound design isn't good its heavy loud crap and then they like say like tipper is good at sound design
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6kTGhJIMgw I mean its very subjective but too me this stuff just sounds retarded i mean its better than what i make but like it doesn't sound original or cool or well mixed.
Too me good sound design is memorable sounds or sounds that are really well defined not a total mess where you just flip some knobs with an analog synth and do minimum processing. I feel like well defined sounds are the hardest to make like people like virtual riot or noisia really know what they are doing so they make really big fat sounds, someone just twisting knobs can't do this because the sounds won't cover the frequency spectrum or at least match at different frequencies. I saw deadmau5 also was talking about how people ignore grit and bass to try and to make good sounds you need both not just a random modulation drowned in reverb. Which is totally true i always see these people trying to make deadmau5 style music but they just go overly soft it becomes a boring mess of what some people consider good sound design but too me all good sounds have power and character behind them even good pads or bells.
Who do you guys think are good sound designers?
ps songs with good pads?
