True... I've worked in Reason since it first came out, and with the adding of VST's etc. i feel pretty confident i can do some serious stuff on sound design. That being said, i'm lucky enough that i got a somewhat nice studio which helps and goes a long way BUT it still comes down to the mind behinde the screen. I've seen 14 yrs. old kids doing crazy stuff on crappy equipment.. My favorite synth which helps a lot in my productions is Serum, combined with LFO tools and Infected Mushrooms plugins from Polyverse❤️🙏🏼🔥
