generic breakdown swooshes

Post by capo ultra » Wed Jul 21, 2010 4:16 pm

looking for something to give my breakdowns a bit more oomph,

how do you guys make sounds like where it's like a airplane takeoff leading up to the drop, kinda like this:


from about 1.54

is that just fucking about with the filter, sustain or something?

excuse my ignorance


I use logic btw if that makes any difference

filter, pitch, amplitude ramped
all suitable for those generic riser build ups

i dunno about that specific sound in the vid but for mine its generally a combo of using riser fx samples, reversing sounds, timestretching sounds, and volume/filter automation.

Synth 1 - Envelope assigned to pitch of any random waveform

Synth 2 - white noise with low cuttoff - lfo assigned to rise cuttoff

combine and resample with 300 flangers etc.

Haha thought this was going to be a thread hating on them! Someone in another thread was talking about avoiding them, using snippets of stuff out of the song you are making pitch shifted, stretched, effected etc. Nice to try something different.

yeah it can be quite fun making these - (cooledit / Audition is absolutely the nuts for it) - start with some filtered and delayed white noise, or even just a metallic clank which you've timestretched the fuck out of. then bounce down, add more reverb, timestretch more, sample it, pitch bend it, bounce again, reverse, delay, yadda yadda

this sample pack is actually really good for those wooshy noises - it does nothing else! http://www.loopmasters.com/product/details/401/Rise

I don't usually buy packs, but this one will address all your "swoosh" needs for the rest of your production career. Rock solid.

I like using synthy strings and pads for risers, just automate their volume and make sure they sound interesting at their peak.

well i say why not?

I have gotten some excellent risers in the past that go beyond a simple white noise rise with fx added.

If the price is good, go for it i say.

its Relatively easy if you're using reason, just open Thor, initialize patch, show programmer, in oscillator 1 change it from and analog to noise, make sure your filter is a low pass, turn the Frequency and Resonance all the way down,and automate them. Then in the Filter and Amp ENVELOPE turn the Attack all the way down, the sustain and decay all the way up and the release all the way down. Now in the Sequencer, you'll want to draw a single note taking up 4 bars, and you should have two more tracks for the Automated Frequency and Resonance, you'll want to write in a 4 bar length, and then draw a line in each going from 0 to 127, and maybe put in a "dot" somewhere at around a quarter from the end of each at 77, and viola a nice Riser/Sweeper

I use the 3xosc using only one oscillator select white noise and automate the cutoff. Easy as hell!

Something I've done lately is make a synth with tons of white noise and an obnoxiously loud saw wave/grinding metal sound. I'll put 3 or 4 reverbs on it, all with the release set really high and resample it. Cut off the obnoxious part and layer it in. You can even reverse it for a riser!
The classic is like they mentioned above, just use some white noise with a filter.
