How To Make This Sound - January 2012

[Earjax]

this midrange once the bass comes in ? second one to come after snare roll...

(In massive) Set an oscillator to 2 above an octave, for example -10 or 14. Then use a pitch envelope on around -2.04 or something not exact to give a bit of unison. That should give you the pitch effect. The actual waveform sounds like one maybe two low octave saw's possibly a deep throat osc. Use a bandreject filter with an envelope on the cutoff to get the movement you want, and then distort, resample and EQ as necessary. Should get you what your looking for Megalodon uses reason btw, he's the fucking don atm

@Earjax.. thanks and damn I wish I've known earlier that he used reason.. I would have went there to make it.. Im sure he's using suBtractor synthesiser to remake it.. thats what coki would used.. they sound alike

[Marzz]

How do you make the bassline at 0:30? It's sort of the main bassline in this track. How can you make it with Massive?

[Smiles]

Love this track and all of the tracks in this EP have a similar bassline. It starts at 2:41. If anyone can help me make it in massive or ableton's operator that would the awesome! Thanks!

direct quote from him:

Me, Badklaat, Requke, Jakes, ect.. we all use reason. And tbh alot of the explanations of how to make these types of bassnoises are complete over kill and only causes more confusion. My best advice is to start from the basics and master that.. Take things slowly and learn about proper synthesis. And probably the most important thing is dont jump in the studio with a set idea. Jam out first.. if you force a noise it wont sound as good as a noise that just came from you messing about. The only times i ever come up with something truly unique it isnt when im trying to copy someone else... Its more like "what would happen if i did this"?

Hey guys, just wondering how to make a couple sounds.

First, the sound at 00:30 that sits on top of the bass from after 00:55


And also what about the long sound in this Compa track, at around 00:55


Thanks a lot in advance!!

[Perej]

not a specific sound, but the song in general. sounds majorly compressed right? you can almost taste it. Anyone share their knowledge on what makes it sound like that

sorry to interrupt you lot wanking over generic wobble bass (joke joke joke), but can someone chime in on this guys question please?

The production is just unbelieveably tight, even by Synkro's standards. Obviously it's been mastered but hell.. there's got to be something else to it.

Sidechain compression and tight samples?

I'm trying to make a screeching noise.. Actually I kind of made one but I want to improve it. How do you guys do it? Joker's is good...

[TecksMusic]

I'm really new to all this, but how do I create the tone that starts on 0:35


I guess with an envelope applied to the cutoff and no resonance?
I tried to figure it out but cannot even come close, help would be appreciated!

[Augment]

Saw waves, detuned and some octaves apart, envelope to cutoff, depending on how you put it on, short/medium attack, or short decay. Delay and reverb make it bigger

ok this sound is in the menu of the game

sounds like the belly of a large metal ship or something coudnt find anything close on freesound

and this games sounds in general haha some hints would be great

How can you make vowel bass like this ? Is this the use of a formant filter like WOW or is this a completely different method ? Big thanks for and feedback

It sounds like just a basic square beneath a saw dealio. Its all in modulating the filter(s). The beginning is just simple lfo and then there is some modulation of a bandpass at the same time.

I'm trying to get a sound like the one thats at around .56. You hear the first bass sound at the drop and then theres like a vibratoey high pitched sound that he uses and is playing some notes with it. How would I achieve such a sound? I use Massive

[Aufnahmewindwuschel]

this is so beyond normal ambient no idea how to start something like this

[Aufnahmewindwuschel]

and yeah i am pretty sure ghost of breslau are not on the left side or maybe they are dunno

Right I've had enoughhhhhh! I'm taking a stand for all of the guys who've been posting decent tunes and not this Porter Robinson/Skrillex/Megadoalon or whatever the fuck his name is bollocks. We want to make music with some SOUL.

I've had a look through the old versions of these threads and it's the same damn question after another, yet people always ignore the deep emotive synths, probably cos you can't get a preset in massive for them

So first of all - repost, main synth in this Synkro tune:-




And this main synth, but really ANYTHING by George Fitzgerald. His synths are always so emotive and deep:-

[philthy_phil]

the sound at 00:27, the 80's funky lead for the drop and we bang's signature sound

Stop being a douchbag and maybe I'll have an attempt at answering your question. This is a help me make this sound thread, not a "help me make a sound, but only the type of sounds that I like" thread.

Synkro tune is massive by the way. Synth itself sounds relatively simple. I'll have a go at it later tonight when I get home.
