You detect it with your ear.

*EDIT* It appears someone else has already left this smart ass comment.

In my opinion the best plug would be the Q10 equalizer (As opposed to the Renaissance EQs). I use that shit on every single channel, sometimes several on a channel. But then again, that's the only one I bought, I don't have the whole bundle. Any plugs in particular you are trying to wrap your head ...

well I must admit that I don't use ableton (old version that came free with an audio interface) or reason unless im collabin with someone that uses one of them (I just would rewire that shit), but yeah I'm a huge fan of the multichannel Kontakt- one instance that I use for drums (lower column in ...

The image was too wide so I had to make an image link.

I can add you on msn / whatever (pm me if u want) using my aim client, Id be happy to send u some of my tunes. I'm no expert, but I may be able to help a bit.

Holler at me on aim and I will try my best to help you out.

You haven't really given us much to work with here, other than your bass seems to be too quiet. This could be caused by a number of different reasons. Perhaps your monitor gear does not adequately represent the bass of the song (your speakers are misrepresenting the way it really sounds).

I'm also ...

The mid range bass sound in Swagga is what Im looking to try and get down.

Also the intro to this?

How does he get that sound?

It is almost certainly what lynn mc is referring to. I would not be surprised if there are multiple instances of the same ...

I watched the El-B interview in CM months ago and from what I recall he was talking about putting a limiter on the top end and compressing the bottom so it squeezes the kick together, how would I do this?

If you want to compress certain frequencies differently than others, you will want to use ...

While I usually use the ES2 for leads or pads, I have been able to create some decent midrange tones for use in a sampler.

If its the gnarly FM style oscillation you are after, set oscillator one to 100% FM, turn on oscillator 2, and turn off oscillator 3. Make sure you clear all modulation in the ...

Was wondering how the hell did widdler made his bassline in Froggy Style?



Widdler would be a very easy person to contact and ask yourself. Simply download IRC and connect to irc.dubstep.fm, join the #dubstepfm channel, he Idles there. I'm sure he would be glad to give you pointers. Very nice ...

No. But usually my goal is not to create a representation of an acoustic instrument using a synthesizer. I use synths as a means to create harmonics which I can't get from acoustic (sampled) source. While I do have an appreciation and respect for people who are skilled at replicating the sound of ...

This isn't the same but here is my quick attempt. To me it sounds like there is no LFO being used, rather there are 3 24th notes for the lfo like effect in the first 3 notes. the harmonic layers he uses are revealed at 2 mins. Yeah so its not quite on the mark but maybe this will help. http://dl ...

If you haven't experimented with this already, You can try using a limiter on the sub/sin channel (lots of gain and set the maximum output at the negative value which you want the sin to remain at). You may want to use a free oscilliscope to give you a visual representation of the wave to make sure ...

Unfortunately for you i'm not an ableton user, but I did find this page on google http://www.cosm.co.nz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=126:ten-essential-ableton-live-tips-a-tricks-part-6-advanced-quantization&catid=20:news

I doubt that will help you find out how to trigger it via ...

I doubt they include a keygen with a legitimate copy of Albino, that would be pretty stupid on the part of the company. But since you mentioned it, why not try copy / paste.

The solution may be unique depending on what host you are using. What host?

If you don't see the synth's graphical interface, but instead see a white panel with a bunch of text, its possible you haven't entered your serial number in the blank space at the bottom of the page. Besides that I'm not so sure.

the lead sound that kicks in around 0.22? lots of their tunes have that same metally sounding synth. how would u go about making something similar?

If you are referring to the midrange bass, to me this sounds like they probably ...

I find it best to engineer your own heavy hits, using bits and pieces of various single hits. It is rare to find one sound with all the qualities you want, but if you can find a snare with a good bassy element, one with a good initial snap, and maybe one with a good trail, you can get creative with ...
