What are my best options for the type of noise percussion sounds you hear so often in film soundtracks? A good example of what I want to replicate is the live-sounding drums and the filtered snare in this track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awis0rITF1c&t=3m I have heard good things about stuff like TrueStrike and Drums of War for this type of stuff, but a good amount of it is also recorded live. I have also heard great things about Zebra's capabilities for this type of stuff (like Hans Zimmer a shitload of Zebra instances to create the percussion in the Inception score) but never really explored it myself. Anybody know a bit more about this?

Any ideas on how to get the sort of sound going on at the beginning of this track? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEPzbz8VLxs It sounds like layered samples and FM synth with maybe a bit of strummed clean guitar, but that fuzz ambiance is something I can't for the life of me figure out. It's too sustained to be guitar I thing. I'm stumped.

QPZIL posted:Any ideas on how to get the sort of sound going on at the beginning of this track? http://soundcloud.com/befy/recreating-wolves-in-the This was fun! I used some stock instruments from ableton to create the Female choir sounds. The one that comes in late I used an autofilter to get the 'ooh-aah' effect. For the guitar I used the 'guitar-shred power' instrument with some reverb and overdrive. I just happened to have the windchime sfx. The fuzz ambiance is just white noise with an autofilter, chorus and eq. And for the deep bassy rumble in the beginning I just used a soundless bass kick and swell looped in sampler. EDIT: i'm not happy with the vocals that come in late. Oh well. Rakshas fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Sep 13, 2011 |

I downloaded the Massive demo a couple days ago and have not been able to stop messing around in it. Even for someone with limited knowledge it's been pretty great to work with in terms of figuring out how to craft different sounds. drat you, half-hour trial limit!

Are there any situations where tapping with a pick as opposed to your fingers is advantageous? I find it feels really strange to tap with a pick, but it does give a slightly different sound.

I think Joe Satriani did that in a song once. EDIT: Found it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2s7WMVMDjU&t=3m50s Boz0r fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Oct 7, 2011 |

How can I create a basic, warm synth bass sound, such as the one Bjork uses here? I'm using Synth1 and Zebra VSTs, but am inept at both.

I keep telling you Synth1 is shite and you just won't listen. Anyway, if it's getting lost in the mix with just a sine, try using a saw or something and filter it fairly heavily (but so that there are still some harmonics)

So I really like the sound here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKkxmXXhbTE#t=2m40s (at 2:40 if the link doesn't work) That scratchy "rink-rink-rink" noise that sounds like a hosed up turntable. I realize asking how Skrillex makes his sounds is like asking how quantum physics works, but I'm trying to work through it anyway to train my ears and my music-making brain. I use Massive and Ableton Live. When I listen to it, I can't tell if it's a volume envelope opening up rapidly or else an LFO cutoff wavering back and forth. I can make my own sounds that have that higher pitched gritty noise, I'm just trying to figure out how he makes them scratch up and down like that.

Anal Surgery posted:So I really like the sound here: Sometimes, instead of trying to get the sound to repeat over and over again by using an LFO or envelope, try just bouncing out the individual sounds to audio and messing around with audio clips. For example, in that sound that Skrillex uses, it's repeating that one sound 3 times as a triplet. Instead of trying to make it repeat itself in the synth with LFOs, a lot of times the easiest thing to do is once you make your sound in midi, just bounce it out as audio and chop it up that way.

I figured that was the results of a buttload of time spend in the MASSIVE Performer tab. The dude knows his way around NI Massive, no matter what detractors say. I'm not near my computer, but I think you'll want to be setting an OSC to format, with a 'dirty' wave and modulating both the Wavetable Position and the Intensity with a Performer/LFO. But that's pretty basic.

All right, I've heard sounds like this before, and I haven't the slightest clue how to make them. This is the song "Celestial" by Doctrine, and the sound comes on at :59 (and 1:07, and throughout the song) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tppwx_6lCJc It's a really weird kind of distortion, but it feels so wonderful to my ears and I wanna put it in a song I'm making. I'm using Logic, for what it's worth.

Sounds like a transistor organ - try Farfisa/Vox Continental. They've got drawbars too so you might have to mess around with 'm to get the right mix.

It does sound a little like a Vox Continental but it also sounds like a guitar played through a harmonizer > fuzz > envelope pedals and then reversed.

I'm not really a musician so I'm not looking for any software specifics for how this sound is made, but I'd love if someone could explain how this really short popping staccato drum (?) effect is achieved. Kicks in at ~10s. I love the effect but its mysterious origins drive me nuts. I've heard it in a lot of other songs too. The clip in particular is from Sugar Ghost by ...Music Video? (some clips here I guess) I'm sure I just asked some "music for babbys 101" question, but I figure if anyone can explain it to me, you guys can. Thanks!  The clip in question: http://www.zshare.net/audio/965183599ea7c296/ e: While I'm not a serious musician, I do have some Reason experience, so a technical explanation wouldn't be unwelcome

If you have Reason 5 or higher, open up the Kong device, use the Snare drum physical model, and set it to something with only just a little noise/rattle, and high tension so the pitch is all the way up. EQ out the lows if necessary, then play 32nd notes. Automate the tension (pitch) when you need it, or simply sample it and spread the sample out over the keyboard. You could even use the arpeggiator and crank the tempo up from 4th or 8th to 32nd temporarily to get something that's in sync and easy to program.

Easiest way to get that tone: set the 2 mid bands to min and the 2 treble bands to max on a cheap 6-band EQ for guitar, like an MXR. 10:1 it was recorded straight into the board with a DI. Guitar: first guess would be either an overdrive pedal into a Roland Jazz Chorus or a DI box. The modulation effect also sounds like a simple stomp box. Bit of delay on there too.

So how would one go about achieving this guitar sound? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=BQKFqEvbK1g#t=115s I'm thinking it's a distorted, fuzzy Leslie/rotary pedal effect, but I'm not that knowledgeable on the subject.

Ever since I got into synthesis, I've wanted to know how to make the synth sound from DJ Sammy's "Heaven". It comes in at around 0:15. I thought it was just a couple of saws detuned with a deep bass sine or triangle wave underneath, but I just can't get anything that sounds remotely like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYUuqbSyTHY Also, lately I've tried to get the synth sound from "Blood is Pumping" by Voodoo and Serano (comes in a 0:42). I'm pretty sure its just filtered saw with the resonance turned up and a small sweep plus a bunch of distortion. I've come sort of close, but again I can't really get the right sound. I'm guessing you pretty much have to have the right distortion unit or it'll never sound the same, right? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaZfdDJ8VpA I realize these are cheesy tracks, but I'd appreciate any help making these sounds as part of my synthesis education. I have Massive and everything else that comes in Native Instrument's Komplete.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjWkJxzpMaY It's a trance super saw with a low pass filter set at the right level just to even out the edges. So basically what they video does, except don't turn the attack to high since you want stabby chords.

Yeah I've tried 5ths (and 13ths and -4ths) and different octaves, but I just can't get it to sound nearly as huge or have as big of an impact as the original. Edit: Ok, I'm really close now. The trick was just to make the low bass significantly louder than the saws 1 and 2 octaves above it. Also, white noise is key. I'll post a screenshot when I've got it, for completeness sake.

This is the closest I can get for now. I feel like my higher oscillators aren't quite as tight as I'd like them to be, but it's at least a decent approximation I guess. http://i.imgur.com/68ttC.png

That's pretty close to what I had going. You also have to keep in mind that when that intro is going there are what sounds to me like 3 separate synth layers going on. The hive mind is telling me that Sammy used eMagic ES2 on that particular track which comes free with Logic Studio so now I'm messing around with that to see how close I can match it. I drank way too much coffee today and have absolutely zero to do. drat you soft synths. You're a black hole.

Hogscraper posted:That's pretty close to what I had going. Haha, sorry to get you started. I also tried making a separate track for the bass and putting in a saw an octave above at a pretty low level, but there wasn't much improvement. I'd be interested to see what you get in ES2, although I don't use a mac.
