About

Hi, I’m Howard – a sound designer with a passion for crafting synthesizer patches and getting lost in hours of experimentation.

It all started with tracker software, which eventually sparked an interest in hardware. I built a home studio around a PC running Cubase, paired with a Yamaha RM1x (with its fantastic sequencer), the amazing Yamaha AN1X, a Yamaha A4000 sampler, and a Novation KS5. Everything ran through a Soundcraft desk with various outboard multi-FX units, reverbs, and compressors.

Over the years, I’ve discovered that what I enjoy most is creating sounds on synths and mangling samples. I’ve created sample packs for various genres and patch banks for different synthesizers.

In 2019, I decided to start sharing my love of sound creation by launching Howard Smith Sounds. My goal is to spark inspiration in others, just as I feel inspired every time I play and experiment.
