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.

I'm playing keyboards with some friends for a live Daft Punk set and I'm having a bit of trouble recreating the lead in "Da Funk" (1:00 into the song) http://youtu.be/IewQqGpdmh8 Right now I'm using Arturia Minimoog and have something that sounds pretty close to the line except for a complete lack of that nasty-awesome growl, which I think is vital to the song. The noise generator on the Minimoog doesn't really give me a convincing growl. Any suggestions? EDIT: I'm also doing all of this in Ableton Live.

Bolange posted:Is it possible to create a sound like this guitar sounding synth without using a sample? Kinda sounds like a Rhodes with overdrive + other effects to me.

Popcorn posted:I cannot listen to this song without asking "how the gently caress did they do that?" I'd give my right arm for the information at this point, the curiosity is killing me. I even went so far as to send the band themselves a PM on Facebook asking; they read it but didn't reply. Trade secret I guess. Fair enough. The reason they didn't respond could have just as well been that they have no idea how it was made either. It could have been a sample they found, liked, manipulated, then built an entire arrangement around. Considering just how easy it is to replicate anything else in this song *except* for that sound lends credence to that theory, I think. Lord knows how many hip hop beats have been produced through that method over the years. Consider that the two best parts of Radiohead's "Idioteque" are samples: the main chord progression through the song and that grimey, blippy bit at the 10 sec mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7hvGPLexL0

I really need my guitar to grind, sputter and scream like in this Peel session around the 0:49 mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RexZVVdD7g It sounds like controlled feedback and digital delay to me. I typically practice with headphones with my amp or in Guitar Rig and have no reliable way of forcing feedback. Does this mean I'm stuck sounding like a wet noodle?

It's not a guitar at all, the guitarist has a microphone halfway down his throat through this one. https://vimeo.com/41190389

Oyak posted:How do I recreate the fuzzy organ sound in Dead Kennedy's Stealing People's Mail? My guess would be a Vox Continental with some overdrive/distortion, some ring modulation maybe? Paul Roessler played half the keyboards on Drug Me as well. The sound you want is so distorted I think you could just as easily pull it off with a Rhodes or an overdriven guitar with octave pedal, too. You can hear more of the band playing with Paul in this live recording at the Mab if you need to "study" it some more—he's almost entirely in the left channel. I wouldn't overthink it, though, I guarantee they didn't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB_kQ-r7QJ4&t=1712s

MrSargent posted:I was listening to that DK song to see if I could recognize the organ sound, but its so heavily distorted that I don't even think I could distinguish it from the electric guitar. My ear is not that good. I wouldn't blame your ears, to be fair, the recording quality of DK records was poor at best for the majority of their career. They almost always recorded live (vocals included) and they recorded loud. No amount of remastering has removed the tin can quality from Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables.

Oyak posted:Make sense...I tried just a distorted keyboard but it didn't have that sort of "fat" organ sound. I'll give your suggestion a shot. Thanks! Yeah, I think the "fat" sound you're describing comes from octaves being doubled up, which you can certainly do with some lever pulls on a Continental-emulating VST (I think there are some free ones out there).
