http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDhn_Au0eLw At around the two minute mark there is this bass sound that I've heard in a lot of different styles of music. I don't know what it's called, and therefore haven't been able to look up how to recreate it. Any help? I'd like to make it with Massive, by the way, though I don't think that changes things too much from any other synthesizer.

Project Lithium posted:At around the two minute mark there is this bass sound that I've heard in a lot of different styles of music. I don't know the name, but the bass sound is indeed common - speed garage, dubstep, etc. On various synths it's labeled as UK Garage Bass or something. quote:Any help? I'd like to make it with Massive, by the way, though I don't think that changes things too much from any other synthesizer. Open Massive; it starts with the "Init" Patch. You're almost halfway there already. You will only need Oscillator 1. Set things up like in this post: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2974992&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=7#post373285672 . Differences: Don't bother changing the oscillator's volumes and pitch (in the picture they're set to 8.00 and -20.00) - just let 'm be like in the init patch. Ditto for the volume; only oscillator 1 should make sound. Replace the "Daft" filter model with the "4-pole lowpass". Don't do anything with the keytrack; click the D-pad next to LFO 5, and route it to the filter cutoff (if this is not immediately obvious; you can click on the empty square below the filter cutoff and choose in the menu from the available LFOs). The triangle waveform will do just fine. In the example, filter cutoff is at around 75%; turn it to 30%, and adjust the modulation to taste. Lastly, go to 4 ENV. You see the pair of Decay/Level knobs: turn Level down and set Decay to halfway. If something's not working or unclear; I'll try posting a better explanation in a few hours.

I've got a PodXt and have tried for ages to get this sound that Mono use a lot (skip to about 6:30-7:30). If I turn up the distortion and delay I just get a horrible mess of noise, instead of the sort of tuned static it should sound like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tq9ip4Ll-8 Here's his pedalboard, he used a different distortion pedal when I saw them yesterday but the rest looks the same (the Danelectro pedal on the bottom is the main overdrive pedal he uses):  Click here for the full 1600x870 image.

Are the insanely bombastic choir vocals in much of Blind Guardians music simply just a ton of individual vocal tracks recorded over each other? Is there any other "secret" to the sound? They start about 30 seconds into this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr3Ti-QEt8o

Interestingly enough, this was a recent topic over at the Andy Sneap forum: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/production-tips/575067-epic-power-metal-backing-vocals.html. I can't find where I originally read about Blind Guardian's choir vocal production, but on A Night at the Opera I'm pretty certain having over 100 vocal tracks per choir section was the norm.

How does Jack White get his smooth fuzzy zip-like guitar sound? Anyone know what combos of pedals he uses? see 2:50 here. I've looked up stuff about his rig and know he uses muffs and digitech whammies but I dunno how he'd make that particular sound there. Not that I know much about guitar effects anyway.

This has been an awesome thread and I have some help I'd like to get on specific synth-drum patterns. First is a common type of clicking or some sort of noise that uses a time stretch or something i have no idea how to describe it.. you can hear it almost all throughout in this track here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzMm_nrU9Ec&feature=related It's like a type of rhythmic scratching or ratchet sound that I'm hearing that I think is just the coolest thing ever. I'm also looking for a method on how to create sweeping, gated, drum patterns using reason or any other program. The best example of a band that uses these types of drum-synth runs would be sky eats airplane. listen to this song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=visXim5p45U around seconds 53 to 55 to hear them do this to a bass drum kick. if you go to their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/skyeatsairplane the song "the contour", the very first few seconds has the effect I'm looking for. It's like the sound start from nothing and crescendos into awesome. I hope that someone just knows who sky eats airplane and over their really impressive synth fills know what i'm talking about and can offer some insight. Thanks in advanced.

As for the intro of the Contour: all you hear is the sample of a breakbeat that's put through a lowpass filter with the resonance turned up. During play, the filter's cutoff frequency is increased. If you map the cutoff to a physical knob of your controller and some keys to separate samples, there's fun to be had! magiccarpet posted:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9vAOzYz-Qs If you mean the talking like old radio broadcasts effect, there are various ways. Easiest is to cut away high and low frequencies with an EQ and add a little bit of noise, plus a gate. The most expensive option is probably this: http://www.audioease.com/Pages/Speakerphone/speakerphone.html Laserjet 4P fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Apr 19, 2010 |

Hey guys. When exams are done, I'm going to start loving around in Reason again, and I want to make badman 80s tunes. How would I go about recreating the super-reverbed drums here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kiq_-MUTOE&feature=related (cf. 2min40, but the whole tune is the sickest tune ever anyways) or here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXkuiShMojY Are these from a specific drum machine and then messed around with (pan, compression, masses or reverb) ? or actual recordings from those massive electronic drumkits the poodle-haired spandex dudes would play on ? Is this bass from a specific synth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEre6jxbI-8&feature=related ? (this one has a similiar vibe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsl3k2mHDhQ ) And a more general question. I'll be recording some guitar stuff, but you can't do that in Reason. I haven't done anything with Reaper, but can is it flexible enough to do more electronic music stuff ?

Those are from specific drum machines. Usual suspects: Linn Drum 9000, Oberheim DMX, Simmons.

You can get this out of pretty much any decent enough (software) (virtual) analog with 2 oscillators and a lowpass filter. quote:And a more general question. I'll be recording some guitar stuff, but you can't do that in Reason. I haven't done anything with Reaper, but can is it flexible enough to do more electronic music stuff ? Sequencers don't care what kind of music you make or record; before everyone got FL Studio with the step sequencers or Ableton Live with the timestretching, people were happily chugging away on Cubase and Logic. Reaper's more like Cubase/Logic than FL or Live, but its featureset is enough for everything you can probably think of.

Combine http://www.zzounds.com/item--DANDJ5 with http://www.zzounds.com/item--DANDJ7 (or their Behringer equivalents) if it shouldn't cost much Actual Leslie simulation is superior when done through http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/neo/ventilator Combat Pretzel posted:I just started out toying with synths (and making music in general). What I'm puzzled about is how much I should make do on the synth side and how much on the arranger (listening closer to various things, the rich sounds seem to come from playing chords?). That depends entirely on the situation. For instance, lots of techno records feature sounds like this: http://theheartcore.com/music/detroit_chord.mp3 That's a really simplistic synth patch (and often the chord itself is sampled again so you just have to play C, G, Bb, F to be instantly cool), but a "rich" chord sound. Some sounds lend themselves more to be played as chords. Another trick is delay - if you listen to http://theheartcore.com/music/ion_space_echo.mp3 (around 0:30, then the effect kicks in) you'll notice that the delay creates lots of atmosphere around a relatively simple sound because the repetitions are at another pitch than the original; so basically you let the delay play the chord. On the other hand you have dubstep basslines. While they only have a single note playing, so much is going on in terms of filtering with stepsequencers and LFOs that the synthesis basically does the playing.

Does anybody know anything about the sound programming used in the old Williams arcade games and pinball machines (e.g. Robotron, Defender, Joust, Gorgar, etc.)? I've determined that all of those games used the same Williams D8224 sound board, which contains a Motorola 6802 CPU, but can't find any info on the actual sound generation. I know that most of it is just detuned oscillators and awesome use of LFOs, I can get in the general ballpark with Massive (and I am pretty confident that Massive can do "that sound") but I have always loved the crunch & sizzle of the sound programming in those games and would love to be able to get closer to recreating it.

I'm pretty sure that the fuzz on that recording is a Mosrite Fuzzbrite. They're pricey as gently caress now, because they're vintage, out of production, and not all that sturdy (so not a whole lot of them survived), but there's a great (and affordable) clone put out by Ashbass. It's pretty much dead-on and for a lot less than a vintage one. http://www.dominocs.com/Library/FUZZbrite/index.html However, I will include a caveat-- since it's a clone of a vintage fuzz it's not going to be all that much louder than your current guitar signal. Just FYI. Some people expect these things to be a 20 db jump in volume when you step on 'em and that's more-often-than-not, not the case.

I'm trying to emulate a particular D&B bass sound, this really harmonic digeridoo-like tone, like this (skip to 1:09): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iinRAG8zyFE But I can't seem to nail it down. I'm using a Virus TI, so far the closest I've come has been with two sinewave oscillators an octave and a fifth apart, fed into a resonant lowpass filter with the an LFO on the cutoff. It's sort of there but it lacks something. I know very little about FM synthesis, is that what I should be playing around with, or am I on the right track with the additive stuff?

If by lead you mean the sound playing at 2:04, with the clicky start: use two layers. One's a sinewave, with a slow LFO on the pitch. The other layer is a noise oscillator with a really short decay. Now, you'll say - "ok, but I can't do that, my synth doesn't have these layers". You can fake it if you use a lowpass filter. In Synth1: Oscillator 1: first waveform (sine) Oscillator 2: fourth waveform (the stairsteppy thing) Amplifier envelope ADSR : 0 max max 5 Filter envelope ADSR : 0 1 0 0. Filter mode : LP24, cutoff : as low as possible so that you can still hear the sinewave Filter AMT : halfway LFO 1: DST (destination) to osc 1, 2. Play with the speed and the amount to get the right amount of vibrato. LFO 2, off. Effects : none required, use your DAW's reverb.
