musical instruments aren't comparable to synth presets. a piano has orders of magnitude more expressive potential than epic_growl_9 ur not smart
the leap to designing ur own sounds is a necessary step if u ever want to have any amount of consistent control over your mixes. facts

i mean maybe it doesn't "matter" but if you take it as given that music is good and ur interested in engineering your own stuff then yeah it matters, sorry.
I didn't fucking mention any kind of standard for quality, I'm talking about gaining control over how your music is mixed by designing sounds from the ground up. https://twitter.com/glacierrbaby/status/1278859540423831552
if you have a personal standard in mind for what you want your mix to sound like, literally whatever that standard may be, you will have an easier time of it when you let go of using synth presets exclusively.
using presets is constricting yourself whether u want to sound like deadmau5 or 100 gecs. its not "lazy" and i dont believe art laziness exists, its restrictive.
