Ohmicide for the most part, but I think I also ran it through WOW filter, with some overdrive and to get a more vowely sound before some eq automation stuff ;)

I am experienced in making these growls but have a hard time making them sound good for resampling, anyone know sweet spots for the growl to be synthesised and distorted? I usually distort 80hz - 900hz in general to achieve that midrangey growl but do you guys keep ti completely fxless? like no chorus or sidechaining? Im having a tough time reusing them as samples, I usually play a long sustaining note in whichever notes I need for the song then export as wavs them reopen them to free cpu, but they always come out weird and cheap :s

Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites FL Studio Remake

Post by elitenick » Sat Mar 03, 2012 10:36 pm

I'm not sure where to post this, but this seems to be the best area.

I spent today trying to recreate Skrillex's "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites." I believe I have something close (of course not exactly).



Enjoy.

I've seen the Darlene picture but this one is new to me. Perhaps Skrilly is all of the cast members of Roseanne embodied in one person. I'm wondering where John Goodman fits into all of this. Hmmm...

I think it's hilarious that in other areas of this board the focus is on talking shit about Skrillex and demonizing that style of music, yet here in the Production forum this thread is the hottest item. Interesting to say the least..

Love the thread too, btw. :4:

The growls doesn't "talk" that much, tried automating EQ's?
