Re: NEW ZOMBOY SAMPLE FOUND!

electronic dance music was founded on sampling you dont get mad at guitarists for not inventing the guitar if you can create a song to the quality and standard that zomboy does using vengeance samples, I will be impressed, manipulating samples into tracks isn't a crime, it sounds good, it works, peo...

Mixing arps to sound distant in your mix but still clear?

Ok so I was listening to this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m_25oZP568

In the drop, that arp does not interfere with any other elements of the track, I was wondering how one would mix an arp to sound way in the back like that?

Thanks for any help

Which audio interface do I need for these monitors?

Morning DSF, I'm investing in some Studio Monitors. I am buying a pair of M-Audio BX8 D2 costing £250, sadly I'm on a tight budget, I am aware that I need an audio interface in order to effectively use these monitors, my question is... What is the cheapest possible option? I don't need a fancy £150 ...

Re: Stereo Panning VST?

Hard panning two copies of an identical sound doesn't do anything. 100% left + 100% right = 100% center (assuming pan laws, etc) Regardless, you don't have to duplicate a whole track to have parallel effects. That's what effect racks are for. Yes it really does, try it yourself. I'm pretty sure har...

Stereo Panning VST?

I'm calling it that cause I'm not sure what this type of VST would be called, but I'm looking for an audio effect VST that replicates the sound of duplicating a track in ableton and hard panning left/right, preferably with the option to modify how extreme the effect is. I have sonalksis stereo tools...

Basic pattern but incase that interests you, it's just massive with 2 square saw waves, a bitcrusher and an LFO on the all pass filter

Re: 12guage, Mantis, Sadhu, D-Jahsta, Dayn, Jphelpz Sounds

I know that i should layer some machine guns on top of my basses, but could someone send me some, or where i could get them? All mine suck. Sadhu actually uploaded a free sample pack to his FB with random foley and samples in it. It had 2 different samples of machine gun fire from some Call of Duty...

Re: How do i make heavy bass like this

I can never get my basses sounding very beefy... they always sound pretty hollow. I guess it would be best to give you guys an example. Here is something i tried pretty hard on. My bass sounds are just so wimpy. :o [soundcloud]ttps://soundcloud.com/bombs_away/destroy-kittenz-collab[/soundcloud] Com...

Re: How do i make heavy bass like this

First one sounds like a basic massive patch with some distortion, maybe chrome and an lfo on the cutoff of a band reject filter, the second one sounds similair except layered with a sub with a wow filter on it too

Re: Hard 'machine gun' basses? how.

Thanks man. I appreciate it. :D The massive patch I layer my machine gun sounds with is just a single osc with crush on it, phase modulation on it with an LFO. An LFO on the amp and the wt. And 2 double notch filters with no modulation on them. 1 oscillator? Maybe thats my problem, when I try to re...

What DAW do you use? - Ableton Live 9 How long have you been producing for? - 3 years What VSTs do you favour? - Massive, Sylenth, FM8, Ohmicide, Sonalksis stereo tools, What artists/labels would you say most clearly reflect your sound? - I dont know really, I make literally every genre from mainrom...

Re: Looking for a keyboard to work with Ableton

Yeah this is easily possible. Most synths and keyboards have at least a midi out or even midi over usb. Do you want to be able to really create sounds from scratch without the computer as well? Yeah for sure, my only problem is I've been told that when you load the presets or onboard sounds onto th...
