These are useful tips for beginners, but something I have yet to see from you, or most anyone else putting out tutorials these days, is the REAL part of this that IS creativity. It's actually quite different from what you seem to be teaching. Instead of using randomization, and semi-aimlessly adjusting parameters or importing and manipulating loops from others, it is the process of starting completely from scratch, and learning each and every parameter, how each affects the sound, then using each adjustment WITH INTENT. Instead of just using vectorized randomization and calling that creative because you selected a group of settings that you don't even understand, just thinking "hey, that sounds cool, I'll just use whatever that is!!", why not try just stopping and listening within to the sounds in your head then try to get as close as you can with the tools in front of you? Start by building patches on your synths and effects from the initialized patch, and deliberately make each adjustment based on the question "Does this now sound more like what I hear in my head or less?", and depending on whether the answer is yes or no, you either keep or undo the adjustment. By doing it like this, you truly take control of your tools and thereby, more accurately and deeply express your ideas, your feelings, and who you are, as a creative being. This difference in approach is what will differentiate you and your sound from that of a cleverly adjusted AI. It matters. I guess it's kind of the difference between making music and just producing sound products. That's not to say randomness isn't a good and useful thing, but if that makes up the bulk of your composition process, how much of what you make is creative, and how much is just adding some weighting to a machine's choices?

Great teaching and sharing, thank You 🙏
Cool thanks..and ill defo check out your foley pack..peace
Nic-foley here, I love your videos 🙌
I guess you could play the parts live with a physical modeling synth.
Those textures you used, from which pack came from?
