It is basic mixing skills. Making electronic music is not only about making cool sounds, it is a lot of "knowing how to make them sound cool", to make your stuff louder you have to use compression, clipping... The thing that make big dubstep producers's songs so heacy is because they can reduce the dynamic range to 4-3, it mean there is only 4, sometimes 3 db of difference between the heaviest and the lowest sounds. It bring everything in front, make them louder, and can only be achieve if the mixing is clear and precise.

Search for stuff like sonnar inflator, t rex soft clipper and you to use them. Your music will be something else.

that particular drop growl at .27s is a very common growl. You can find it. What he's done to make it seem heavier is the mixing and effect processing. That's all.

I mean I have him on skype. I could ask him for you?

[XoraX]

Dude that would be super cool of you!

I haven't tried his Bendal Growl yet but I have attempted his Vintage Growl.

His growl is at 1:03 ↓

I used Serum, OTT and Ohmicide.

[Ascenic]

OmegaMode plz. Plz. Plz. Plz. It's so good. Very BA.

[XoraX]

Dayum Omega killing it like usually dude !

Crap, how I haven't ever even heard about Desembra? These 2 of his tracks you guys posted sound better than half of the stuff on Never Say Die and Discipline combined...

I tried with serum as well but I think FM8 would work better to get the original one.

I feel like I'm close to Omega's, but I don't know how to give it that last "push" into greatness.

I think I accidentally made the growl from Blackout or something similar!

HOW are you people doing this? Idk how to get the little clicking sound to it. The "nuggets" as barely alive named them.

My trick is to use a formant rich oscillator like AI (set to bend-, of course,) and then very quietly layer it with a oscillator that's been destroyed by FM. So you get the clarity of the formant, with the harsh FM noise. Also, pitchbend to really low notes. I analyzed Omega's through wave candy/SPAN etc for no less then 10 days replicating his EQ movement lol.

Another thing I love is Serum's distortion set to rectifier. Put some weak sounds in, get awesomeness out. I prefer to set it to "before" and have a slightly resonant HP at like 300hz.

Here is the processing of the growl.



I went for a really lame initial sound that sounds almost like an fm squelchy bass but sort saw like with some white noise.

[Ascenic]

Wow, thanks for the pic Omega! Also, FL 12, eh? I've been trying to get used to the GUI but it still feels a bit weird lol.

If anyone cares, here's a picture of my chain.

[XoraX]

Jo Omega can you explain the FX chain a bit more pls ? and about the init sound pls ?

[Desembra]

Hey!

I'm very flattered that people want to recreate my sounds, so I'm gonna give you a little clue. Basically, the main focus on a growl (In my opinion) is the vowel modulations. A shit wobble can easily be turned into a dope growl with the right vowel to it. I'd suggest you all take a look at the Formant presets in Ableton's Eq and try FM8 out (I used FM8 for the Bendal growl)

[Ascenic]

Wow, very cool that you have an account here Desembra! I would have to agree with the importance of EQ modulation; in my analyzing of your and Omega Mode's growls I noticed very steep peaks and notches in the frequency spectrum. Did you use a phaser? I noticed several peaks in the 2,000 khz region and higher that seem characteristic of phasers.

On the subject of EQ8's formant settings, I actually took the time to remake them in PMEQ2 for fellow FL users.
I also recorded FM8's formant waveforms as single-cycle waveforms for use in synths like Serum or Sytrus. DL: http://www.mediafire.com/download/at09o ... nd+EQs.zip

EDIT: Oops, I was actually referring to your Vintage growl with the comments regarding phasers. XD

Yeah, though that Bendal growl is really cool.
