resampling is my best friend

I used to think keeping all my synths running off VST's was the way to go...

I have been bouncing them down to 2 split mono tracks, one combined mono downmix and one stereo track

it makes things HUGE!

so.. word to the mother, if you aren't bouncing diown, I'd give it a shot

it'll improve your overall synth sound

The double split mono/stereo thing is a good idea. I do it with drums (usually snares) sometimes a la the NY compression method, where you leave one clean, dupe it, mono it, distort the fuck out of it and turn it down a bit.

I haven't really thought much about using that method to make your synths big. It's a pretty good plan though.

But yeah, resampling is key. Get a good soundcard and bounce your shit down early and often if you want to make your sound more interesting (and save CPU cycles).

yeah

I have 16 channels of Virus offloaded to the onboard DSP chips so I never really had to bounce synths down, but I started doing this the other week and took it to the next level last night and man...

the results were amazing

Thick ass synths like the big boys

very pleased

i'll have to try it.

i've got a love/hate relationship with resampling most anything.

yeah

I can't hear any realy volume loss or quality degradation with this method
