Identifying the genre of a song/drop

So I'm listening to "The World is Yours - Sidney Samson"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyS4LZwEEg4

And I was wondering, when it drops, that vocal dirty-dutch ish synth, what is that called? (sounds like Oh-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-aoh-aoh-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o)

In other words, if I wanted to find more songs like "Bangduck - Afrojack" I would search Dirty Dutch, but what would I search to find more of this, or more importantly a tutorial on how to produce such a pattern of my own, what would it be called?

Thank you very much!

Instead of trying to copy an already overused sound by an already famous producer why not try to applying your own creative ideas and thinking to evoke the same feeling you get when you hear that style of music without regurgitating the same patterns and timbres.

But in response to your question, I'm sure a simple youtube search for "dutch house" or something would get you an amateur's take on Dutch production.

Doesn't work that way. Once you find out how to do something, you can tweak it to china and back, but until you learn the basics, it won't work.

Try using FL studio if you've never used it before. Listening to a sound and trying to reproduce something like it with limited knowledge is very difficult. The best way to learn (I've found) is to find a tutorial, and to use that to learn about the various synthesizers.

If I wanted to learn how to make typical dirty dutch songs and I wanted to experiment on my own, I'd get some nasty (not in a good way) static-y, bland sounding song, but finding the tutorial, I found out it's as simple as a few mods on 3xOsc or Massive. I would have never figured out the certain knobs to turn or buttons to press.

THAT'S why, I'm not copying anything.

:lol: :lol:

just by using synths and making sounds you get to know how a sound could be made, you dont have to have a tutorial, back in the day peeps didnt have a tutorial, they just spent all their time using their juno.

Man, the helpfulness here is absolutely overwhelming. I can really feel the love!

Truly, the amount of hostility met by such a simple question is astounding. I'm not asking for the exact pattern of a song, I'm asking what the name is for a certain drop of a song. If you don't know the answer to a question, leave it alone. "Do it yourself" is probably the least helpful, least motivating, and most bland response I could ever hear.

I know the fundamentals for this sound, that it's using a vocal loop as the base for a regular synth, so OBVIOUSLY experimenting with an Oscillator and various synths will not produce this kind of sound. The even thought that I would get that as a response is astonishing, to me at least.

Really don't mean to come through as an ass, but it's one thing if you ignore a question you don't know the answer to, it's another thing to not know the answer to the question and go out of your way to make a snarky comment to someone trying to learn the works of making house. It's not copying a song to know the basics and vocabulary to certain things about the song. If someone asked what BPM electro songs should be made in, you wouldn't answer "Hey you stupid tunc, how about you experiment and find it out yourself?"

well if you know that, why cant you produce the sound, you wanna know where the exact vocal sample came from? just get a vocal, cut out a little ooh, or oh, or uh, and put it into a sampler and play that melody

electro songs are all made at exactly 247 bpm right?
