I've been trying for a couple of days to recreate a sound in "Rolling" by Soul Coughing but I don't really know where to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k84-cRlwz7I It's the overdriven, feedbacky bass-sound that comes in at 0:31. Not sure if its an actual bass being played in the recording, the bass player used an upright bass live and never tried to recreate the sound in the recording onstage. I'm using Native Instruments' Guitar Rig so it has all sorts of gizmos to use. For guitars I have a Les Paul copy, Fender Jazzmaster, and a P-bass. I also have a Behringer V-ampire amp head, but that's mostly used for playing live.

Wondering if anyone could tell me where some of the world samples may have come from in this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiEydzVdnos Really, anything like them would do. Specifically I'm looking for the flute (maybe a shakuhachi) and some of the unique percussion elements, like the woodblock and taiko-esque drums.

I'm a guitar effects newb. What would I do if I wanted to get my guitar sounding like Jack White's on Freedom at 21? Based on the live videos I've seen, he's playing a Telecaster, so I know that would help a lot (though it doesn't sound the same live as the studio version), but could I reasonably fake it on a guitar with humbuckers? It would be way cool to jam this song with folks, but it always sounds wrong to me when I play it without that kind of tone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i9zVWfFRbM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCVCQmxb7YQ How would I re-create that pitched kick drum/percussive bassline that's going on in this song? It provides the entire driving force of this song and whenever it resolves back to the root I feel like my head will explode it's so good. I'd need to figure out how to make it produce different in tune pitches and I'd need it to sustain. I got an idea for a song that I want to rough out before going to bed that would use something similar and I don't know how to do this so will probably just use a synth bass to sketch out where I want the chord changes until I figure it out/someone shows me. Any help is appreciated. Edit: If you don't know this song/immediately know what I'm talking about in this song you'll probably need headphones to hear it clearly.

My go to for that sound is always a Danelectro Baritone through almost any Fender amp with a spring reverb. I'm partial to the Twin myself. Gain 6, Treble 6, Mid 3, Bass 2. Verb to taste. Mic with a 57 off axis on the cone edge. Magical.

I've always wondered how they make this string-like sound in disco music. Are these real acoustic strings? It sounds like a lot of stuff but not exactly like anything I know. Sorry if it's obvious to anyone. A good example is at 0:12 in this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i46N2ZFPb0

Any tips on how to create a synth similar to the "hollow" synth in this song at the 30s marker? Sounds like there's a noise component, but beyond that, I'm clueless. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3PwqBBZUaE&t=30s --edit: I have NI Massive at hand. Is it even suited for this?

Sounds like detuned saws, a bit of noise, then ran through delay and a LP filter with a healthy amount of Q. massive can do that easily. There might be more I'm not hearing but I was able to pretty much recreate it like that.

This one should be pretty easy: It's a screaming sort of guitar sound that Anaal Nathrakh do occasionally, around 0:32. I'm very new to guitar and my ear isn't good enough to tell what they're doing to get that warping, crying effect. Is it a wah-pedal? Are they just bending a note under a ton of distortion?

Okay, sorry for continuing to ask for weird-rear end sounds, but Igorrr twists some samples of a person groaning around 2:10 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpGaIIziBqE Anyone want to take a stab at what he may have done to construct something like that? I suspect it's some sort of granulizing thing, probably the same thing he uses for all the bizarre timestretching and stuttering in this song. I know vaguely how to go about doing something like this, but what's the most efficient tool one can use to make these sorts of sounds?

How can I recreate the drums on this Peter Gabriel song? I know he used a LinnDrum a LOT, but I'm also hearing a poo poo load of compression, gated reverb and a single time delay at a 16th note? Here's my reference:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdkLLohOy3M

Bend G string up on fret 15 and hold B string steady on fret 13. Heavy distortion. Very similar to the opening guitar riff of Tool - Sober, so this should help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ojjDNR0Erg

I would love to know how to make these sort of minimalist drums that start in this song at about 1:43 http://youtu.be/qSZRBuAhW70?t=1m43s The little pops and glitchy sounds are what I'm talking about. Many minimalist artists use these same kind of beats and they fascinate me.

I personally like Boards of Canada's method the best: quote:"Sandison: We made a lot of our percussion sounds by just wandering about with a portable DAT, denting things with drumsticks. On some tracks, we get people we know to record their voices making weird phonetic sounds. We chop it all up and use the plosive and fricative sounds for percussion and so on. All of the percussion on "An Eagle in Your Mind" was done with my girlfriend's voice."

I think that this is the right thread for my question, apologies if it isn't however. I was basically wondering if anybody could suggest a piece of software (preferably free or cheap) that would be good for messing with mp3s? By messing with mp3s I'm referring to editing in various ways (reversing the song, slowing it down, cutting out parts and trying to blend together into a loop etc) and uh, fiddling with it? When I say fiddling the best example that I can think of is similar to how Korg's Kaoss Pad works, where you can do all sorts of weird things to music/samples as they play through it. This video here is a good example of what I'm talking about I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVnYaBMzMRA Is there any software that can do that, and is preferably very simple to use? I don't expect there to be anything with an interface similar to a Kaoss Pad or anything, but if I can accomplish the same things somehow, while also doing basic editing (speed, reverse, cutting and pasting) then that would be fantastic, and I'd be very grateful for any recommendations

There's a chime in the middle of this which is an incredibly ubiquitous sound in the real world, but I haven't been able to find a sample of anywhere at all. I figure it's a digital sound made with cheap equipment and synthesizing it should be relatively simple, but I have no idea how to go about it.

If you can inject a slight impurity in the sinewaves otherwise (nudge it towards a square wave), that may be worth experimenting with as well.

I've tried to recreate or find the right sample to achieve this delayed atmospheric rainstick/shaker sound so many times, but I've never gotten it sounding quite right and I always end up giving up and scrapping it. if anyone has any tips that would be awesome. examples: deadmau5 - strobe @ 2:55 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKi9Z-f6qX4 tnght - top floor @ 0:06 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQdZm4PqWGs

WAFFLEHOUND posted:I tried this and it ended up sounding pretty weird relative to what I was going for. In practice, that sounds like rear end in a musical context and you're better off playing a G and transposing the second oscillator the whole two octaves up. You can more or less approximate rounded square waves by using normal square waves and filtering a tad off the top afterwards. So, start from an init patch and do this: OSC1: SQUARE WAVE, 0dB OSC2: SQUARE WAVE, -6dB, +24 semitones AEG: A: 0; D: 2sec; S: 0: R: 0 FILT: F: ~4000Hz; R: 0 I'm getting things like this. (squares, filtered squares, sines, original) I'm not sure what gives you "weird" results, but without further clues as to what you're doing, what tools you're using or what you're going for, I can only guess, obviously.

Flipperwaldt posted:Yeah, ok, that was a ballpark guess based on theory, so I had another go at it. Analysis of the original sound brings me to two rounded square waves, one at 800Hz and another at 2400Hz. So if you want to be nitpicky, the base note is between G and G# and the other part is between 19 and 20 semitones up or something. Technically. Listening to them side by side, I think the thing that I'm hearing is more high-end on the samples you've made. Still, wow, that's an amazing analysis.
