Sound libraries and Software plugins for Computer Music beginners

Making the change to higher quality sounds

Up till this point, we have discussed how to prepare to make Computer Music.
This will be the last article in this series.

We will discuss expanding your sound banks/sample libraries and software (plugins) to increase the quality of your work.

These sounds and softwares are not necessary to use from the start.

However, if you find yourself thinking “I want to sequence with better sounds,” or
“I want to increase the sound quality of my work,” these things will come in handy.
