All though its technically true, the utter joke of trying to accurately replicate a sound with very complex overtones would far outweigh the fuck about of getting a foley recording of the same thing in a recording studio.jrisreal wrote:yes, you can make ANY sound with a synthesizer and the proper processing. Not saying its an easy task, though
Plus you're very often bound by the number of oscillators (and other params) on a synth and some sounds may just be too thick to reproduce effectively in respect to the hard/software at your disposal.
Question: "I'm looking to make a Jam sandwich; I've got some jam, a tube of toothpaste, a couple of bananas, a spanner, a half empty bottle of mosquito repellent and a pot of Greek yoghurt. can someone help me out tryna figure out how to squash it all into being a Jam sandwich?"
The point is, if there's a really simple way of doing something, or a really hard way of doing something, do it the simple way. The hard way might make you feel clever and make it seem like the sound is really complicated, but in reality all you've done is synthesize a symbol, why didn't you just record a fucking symbol?
I've learned this the hard way...
And there would be nothing easy about micing up a plane crash, do you really think you can even get a mic close enough to such carnage, wheres you could just as easily layer up a bunch of noises you synth?
Osc count isnt a limitation, additive theory says there is no wavecyclethat cant be made using three basic oscillators in the traditional raw waveshapes. From there, its just your job to get all those cycles into a chain that forms the sound you want.
Type long posts = people put weight on what you say.
despite the somewhat broken english at times
you speak loads of truth i wish i had the time to post like still
and sorry for bein so french-canadian
