For that synth design opening, I got good responses by sending a tiny Vital bank (https://vital.audio/) with clearly named macros and outputs matched around -12 dBFS — think ‘mixtape, not science fair’. If you’re on a tight budget, it’s great for showing range without paid plugins. Small caveat: some teams want dry WAV examples instead of presets, so ask first.
