So, not entirely sure if Koan Sound counts in as dubstep. The feel a bit more electro-oriented. But since they have a puch of wobbly synths in them I'll post here.

Talk box.

At probably every end of the bars after the drop, there is a wobbly synth that feels very off-beat. Hard to explain. But it sounds like theyre automating the rate, like at first 1/16 and then down to 1/8T. But I tried that, and it doesnt even come close. Its very twisty. At between 1:32 and 1:34, just before the "YEAH"'s come in, is a perfect example of it.

There is a tutorial, this one;

But I cant get my head around what I learned from it. I thought that I'd at first try to recreate the exact same sound as in talk box. But its so incredibly hard.

Anyone?

Also, the reverse snares they seem to use very often, and that are especially noticable in talk box. Does anyone know of any good clap/snare/hi-hat-sample that sounds just as good? They are very Airy and clean in talk box. I really like it!

any ideas?

The title seems to indicate ingestion of bath salts?
Maybe start there?

I really love all of the elements of this song. Could anyone help me make a synth that sounds like the one at 2:40. The pad sounds are amazing too if anyone could explain those a little.
Would be much apreciated

That track is actually "Meanwhile, In The Future", not "Talk Box", just for future reference.

The sort of slow down effect I think you're referring to is done by taking the sync off of the LFO and automating the rate down that way. This means instead of it switching straight from say, 1/8 to 1/4, it goes through all the timings in between (if you follow) and sounds more "off beat".

The actual sound itself is tricky, there's never gonna be a quick and easy guide on how to make something like that, it's all experimentation. Start by making a couple of basic reece sounds then just fuck with them, try all different types of filters and distortions etc. Even try loading up some presets that sound relatively close and reverse engineering them to see how they were made, I know there are a couple of pretty good reece sounds in the standard Massive preset bank. I know that's not a very helpful thing to hear when you want to make an exact sound but it's the only real way to learn how to do it!

Something a bit more untypical:



The synth in the background around 5:00 and the one around 5:25
They sound like comb-filtered white noise, but I'm not really sure how to achieve that very specific sound. (maybe a bandpass before the comb filter?)
Also, isn't the atmosphere perfectly designed in that section? just perfect.
Oh yeah and the music video is REALLY weird. lol

figured it out, incase someone ever stumbles across this topic or searches for this synthdesign:

has a pretty water-y resonance imo. If anyone can improve it, please do

I've been trying SO hard to recreate that awesome formant guitar like sound at exactly 0:58, it barely makes an appearance in the track and is only played for one note, it sounds very skrillex -like and was feature in the song 'right in' by him, anyone have this on lock?

[Slizmon]

I can't figure out how to make this pluck at 0:56

Post it in the sound design sub forum not a year old thread. 3rd time lucky maybe ?
