One of the best tips that was taught to me about sound design and maybe a unique way of creating. Resampling and automation! When we make sounds we think that we hit a wall to how far the creative process can go. Next time you make a one shot, kick, snare, instrumentation preset, melody, etc. Try making the sound with any vst or oscillator, resample, then try to automate an effect at the beginning, middle, or end (you pick) then resemble again, reverse. Do whatever you want, this is just an advise given to me to not put a cap on creativity!
