Since your using Sylenth1, check this out:

A full tutorial on how to use the synth and subtractive synthesis in general.

Hi

I made one on synthesis with Operator for Groove3 - it covers Subtractive, FM and additive and it's very much about breaking it down to the core concepts of synthesis regardless of the synth, but also looks at the features of Operator. But pretty much everything on Operator you will find on other synths.

at the moment you can buy it for $20 or rent it for 30 days for $12

cheers.
