I allready searched for it on the section but didn't found anything that could help me.
The thing is, when i use that piiiiiiiiiiieeeeuuuuuuuww sound, (filtered white noise) everybody knows it, it always ends up sucky: somethimes it hurts ppls ears sometimes the filtering sounds cheap. I just can't manage to get a 'decent' 'non hurting' sound..
Can somebody give me some tips or explain me their methods?
thx a lot in advance!
EDIT: look @ title

i'd say there's a few things to consider: make sure there's enough body in it (i usually load some white noise into a sampler and play loads of high and low notes together).
the harshness is probably because you're using a filter with the resonance turned up. try automating it so that as the filter goes up, the resonance goes down a bit.
also, chuck a bit of reverb on there.
and try not to use it too much, as it's been fairly well rinsed over the years

i love it, bit of eq, reverb and delay. i dunno about it hurting though, just dont let the filter get high enough, frequency wise, to make it hurt.

hm yes.. i see..
resonance could indeed be the problem.
and using a better noise sample and fill it up seems like something i'm gonna try for sure.
yeah it's a bit rinsed but hey :p
And depone that white noise in your tune frogger is realy good. Not too much not too less. perfect!
oh yeah, that vocal. Doesn't Tocadisco has a song that goes like nobody like the records that i play a'ight. Isn't it the same vocal?

I started adding organ waves on top of mine and it gives it a bit of a tone
what I do is start with a low note, add a long portamento (glide) value, and then play the note about 3 octaves up, so not only do you get a Woosh-type of build-up, but you get a tonal noise behind it
this might help add more life when you add modulation or effects

well....
since my pc is the most shittiest pc ever (but i love him) i don't want to waste too much cpu power on those 'small things like noise filtering and shit' (while i actually should).
So i just open up a 3xOSC, select the whitenoise-thingy and filter it with the filter in the sampler itself.....
[screenshot]
I pretty much use that filter for all of my synths, samples.. everything..
that way i don't have to load up more pluginfilters causing less cpu-powah
i'm a total n00b
