The sound I'm lookign for comes in around 8 or 9 seconds in. My guess is an organ and guitar through a vocoder but I totally can't tell. The rhythm is too human sounding to be modulation. But i could be wrong. Any ideas? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJACkDjU8S0&feature=related

It sounds like maybe an organ sounds through a high pass filter and high resonance with the cutoff varying all over the place or every time a note changes.

Anyone know what the hell is going on at 2:20 into this song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WadOvaGVsFM#t=2m20s It sounds like some kind of tapping pattern run through a octave pedal or something?

This is more a general production question but: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJv2Mugm2RI&t=1m43s It's mostly just the sound of anything from the late 30s - mid 40s or so the sound of which I've always admired, and I'd love to create an album using that sound template - warm, saturated, diffuse, just a touch muddy without being washed-out and indistinct, absolutely nothing "pristine", everything extremely soft, nothing brittle. Do I have to become a collector of old microphones, pres, boards and reel-to-reels, or is there an easier way to capture the essence of that era's recorded sounds to on an album of modern songs? Moreover, what about the vocal recordings of that era made them what they were? I'll use Dumbo again (try not to cry while listening ok) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oSdgIDyl6Q&t=0m30s

Record straight to vinyl or wax, and for the vocals, set the mic several feet away and use full volume singing (a la opera singers). Until Les Paul's revolutions in multitracking and other recording techniques, it was the standard practice to mic the performer from several feet away, as during that era it was common for a singer to sing with no mic or amplification when playing live, and they had to project loud to be heard over the instrumentation. This meant the old ribbon and condenser mics they used had to be placed some distance away from the singer. Magnetic tape didn't come into use in recording studios until the 50's (it largely came out of German technology that wasn't publicly available until after the end of WWII).

This is kind of a weird one but I have been looking for this sound for awhile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qL9FLBQEqQ&t=17 This was the best example I could find, but it's the vocal-ish sounding "buh buh buh" sound. I have barely a clue as to what it could be, for all I know they actually recorded a guy saying "buh" but I know lots of keyboards have a similar sound to use, like old casios, I just have no idea what to look for considering google yields nothing useful.

While you could probably synthesize something similar, that's almost definitely a sampled "buh".

hooptyjr posted:Time travel! Not at all impossible... challenging, yes. Even listening to how Amy Winehouse's music was engineered and mixed, it has a very old sound while still maintaining a higher fidelity expected in todays pop music. Read about carbon mics. Also look into ribbon mics. You can also try to get this sound in post digitally with EQ and maybe sending some of it out to an aux track and adding a distortion plug-in and adjusting it appropriately. And then sweeten it up with reverb and you could also send some of that out to distortion and EQ. It kind has to be done perfectly or else it will sound awful. Just keep experimenting with this and see what you get.

How the hell do I get that Dirty Dutch House Lead sound? Specifically, these two songs: At 1:30 in Afrojack and Sidney Samson's Quacky http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv9jDjgUB7c and At 2:43 in Afrojack's Doing it Right http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPlYHpxtcwI I have no idea how to even approach getting some of these sounds. Is the second one a sample? What synths could they possibly be using?

the sub that comes in at 0:11 and throughout the song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvagJHCqiJg for some reason it's very hard to create in every VST I have and all the kick samples I have in my library. The closest thing I've come to it is a sample from the movie Inception... I think it may actually be sample from a Movie FX library.

It's a gameboy sequencer you can use with a gameboy emulator. What I do is write little 8-bit "riffs" or beats and then use the emulator to record it as a wav and then sample it into a sampler like NNXT for use with Reason or other high end programs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAhHNCfA7NI Listen to the saxophone at the start. There is a 'quivering' noise whilst he's playing one of the notes. Is it possible to play this kind of noise with a saxophone only or is this some kind of computer generated noise?

If you watch these "live" performances it sounds less clean http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwa7OBXDvw0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNjdfOGiUMw But it's still not clear if he's actually playing the sax to make that quivering noise or he's just putting the thing in his mouth in time to a backing track.

I am pretty sure there's a way to do this but I want to mangle something to the point where it sounds like it's a cassette tape being eaten. Any suggestions? I have tried putting a single tone through a bit crusher and automating the bits down until it gets really spotty & chunky and used that for the signal on a limiter, but it really didn't nail it. I will see if I can find an example of what I mean online.

Leg0z posted:the sub that comes in at 0:11 and throughout the song. Look into getting some old 808 kit samples. 808 kits are famous for having that really specific kick sound, and when you pitch shift it down a little or use a subsynth effect with it (look into MDA subsynth plugin) you'll get exactly what you hear int he song. For my own question, I'm trying to get a really warm beautiful rhodes tone, preferably in Reason? I've tried the Rhodes overdrive and the Herbie combinator presets and they're alriiiiiight, but never have that real warm tone when playing full chords. Any advice? You can see what I mean 5:00 in (also check out that bass tone  ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmAhnNyMtGk

I'm an Ableton Live 8 user, if it matters. The song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5Vl1WkskJA&feature=related The above song starts with an electric guitar solo that has this rapid fire strumming sound I'm trying to recreate in Ableton. I've found many electric guitar instruments built in that sound very good, but trying to get them to make that fast "chuggachuggachugging" kinda sound is difficult. I understand that part of it may have to do with decay and getting the sound to stop when the midi note isn't being held. But I'm also wondering if a better way would be setting up some sort of really fast delay to simulate the rapid strumming of a single note. So far my kindergarten skill level with Ableton is not yielding results. Is there a trick/tweak/effect you can think of, or do I just need to make my own chuggastrummy guitar sample somehow?

Look at how the guitarist is playing the intro, and that's pretty much what the synth is doing. I guess if you wanted to get the same thing without actually playing it, you could try adding an arpeggiator effect of some sort to your synth, but you wont ever get close enough without actually playing the notes.

I'm talking about what the gent at 0:27 is doing on his guitar. That's the sound I'm trying to capture. It looks like it's pure guitar strumming. Unless I'm missing something? (very possible, by the way) edit: Okay, I think I get what you're getting at now. Yeah, I was afraid I'd have to do it on a real guitar and not be able to cobble it together in Ableton.  edit: Although thanks for reminding me I haven't played enough with the arpeggiator. So much to learn on this thing! That Dang Dad fucked around with this message at 10:42 on Jun 2, 2011 |
