How do you guys go about creating hybrid music? Do you use dedicated libraries or create those sounds yourself? I have been interested in making some music that isn't strictly orchestral, but have no idea where to begin.

Mostly I make the synth sounds myself with a combination of hardware and VSTs.
Depends what kind of hybrid sound you're thinking of, but there are some really wonderful libraries ….. Spitfire's Glass and Steel is a nice one -- it starts with a lot of, well, glass and steel samples, which you can access directly, but it also turns them into a lot of processed textures. (I think Spitfire also offers processed orchestral sounds with each of its Albion line.)
Coming from the other end, there's also Indiginus's mostly-synthesized orchestra, Solid State Symphony. I haven't experimented with this as much as I should, but it's definitely the kind of thing you could layer into orchestral sounds to make them a little weirder.
I load a Heavyocity library, and I push any button! Always hybrid...How do you guys go about creating hybrid music? Do you use dedicated libraries or create those sounds yourself? I have been interested in making some music that isn't strictly orchestral, but have no idea where to begin.
Music like this somewhat what I want to make.
Stuff like Omnisphere, Heavyocity, Glitchmachines and Zero-G would be a good place to start.
It seems to me that starting by learning synthesis is what I have to do.
You don't need that. You can get big sound by layering, orchestration, eq, compression and reverb, even without epic super-fff articulations and stuff.Although none of the libraries like Albion, metropolis or any kind of epic library.
It helps but libraries now have so many presets you can a lot of time just tweak those. Depends on how much control over your synth sounds you want.It seems to me that starting by learning synthesis is what I have to do. I have previously heard of omnisphere, and thinking maybe I should start there.
Yea, it can be that. If you want to sound unique, you'll sound design a lot.And getting familiar with effects. I realize now that composition like this is a lot of sound design rather than strictly composing.
Wait for some 40% off sale. Mike makes them quite often. Believe me, those videos are way more important then any synth, effect or sample library.The Mike Verta classes looks pretty comprehensive and at a reasonable price. I will definitely check them out.
