Our Origin Story

The idea for Preset Pros came to us while working in writing camps and studios in Los Angeles, Atlanta, and New York. We’d watch producers and artists walk into a room with nothing but a laptop, and within a few hours they had a demo that sounded like it was ready for radio.

Meanwhile, we were sitting in the next room, still stuck scrolling through synth patches, tweaking oscillators, layering sounds, and messing with envelopes — just trying to get ONE lead to feel right.

By the time lunch rolled around, their song sounded like a finished record… and we were still sculpting a bass that didn’t even hit right.

We kept asking ourselves:

• How are these producers moving so fast?

• Why don’t they ever seem to get stuck in sound design?

 

The Realization That Changed Everything

One day, during a break, we asked one of the producers how they managed to create such polished sounds so quickly.

He looked at us and said: “Wanna see?”

Of course we did. We followed him back into his session. He pulled up Serum, clicked on a preset, and the sound instantly fit the track like it was made for it.

“See this? I’ve got a library of go-to presets I’ve built over the years. I load these up and I’m already 90% of the way there. Then I just tweak to taste.”

We were stunned. That lead sound would have taken us hours to design — and he got there in ONE CLICK.

That’s when it hit us: presets aren’t cheating. They’re how the best producers in the world stay in flow.

 

Our Design Process

So we set out to build a library of synth presets designed for today’s producers. We worked with top sound designers and artists across genres — EDM, hip-hop, pop, R&B, trap, and beyond.

We spent months crafting and refining sounds — basses that hit with weight, leads that cut through the mix, pads that fill space with emotion, and plucks that inspire melodies instantly.

Every preset had to be versatile, inspiring, and ready to drop into a track without endless tweaking.

After over a year of testing these sounds across hundreds of sessions, collabs, and productions, we realized we had something special: a preset library that gave producers the power to move FAST, while still sounding fresh and unique.

 

Back to the Drawing Board

But we had one problem — a lot of preset packs out there are bloated. Thousands of sounds, but only a handful you’d actually use. That wasn’t our vision.

We didn’t want quantity. We wanted quality.

So we kept grinding. We cut the fluff. We focused only on the sounds producers actually reach for every day — the essentials that form the backbone of modern records. The best of the best.

The result? A carefully curated collection of only the best vocal synth presets, with macro controls mapped so you can tweak and make them your own instantly.
