Watching how the pros work can really spark some inspiration in your own tracks. Lucky Date is one of those producers that prefers to let his fans in on how he creates his sounds, so watching though the tutorials on his YouTube page can be really useful for the novice producer.
I've said it before but I'd like to say it again; learning a bit about sound design and how to create your own sounds is vital to electronic music. It's not really enough to rely solely on presets and sound banks, sure they are good for the odd sound here and there but if you learn to create your own sounds then your tracks will benefit from it. Not only that, but you will quickly learn to replicate sounds from your favourite tracks.
The video that I've embedded below is one of his older tutorials (over two years old at the time of posting this article) but the sound that he's focusing on is still relevant in today's popular music.
Trance and electro synths are still really big in both chart music and the underground scene. In the video Lucky Date shows us how to go about replicating this synth sound using Propellerhead's Reason 4.
