The distinctive sound of Tomba

[marshy]

Really interested in how he creates some of those sounds, especially the first after the drop. Obvious normal vowel filtering etc, but what makes it so 'transparent'? I can't think of any other word to describe it. I can only seem to get as far as selective EQing to thin the sound out, then excessive reverb and delay.

It's not even something i'd particuarly want to use in my own productions, but still confuses the fuck out of me. Oh and save the complaining for another thread about Borgore or someone please!

Very cool sound, unique as far as I know. Curious as well.

[sixth sense]

Tomba does have some nice sounds going on there someone has to have the answers!

[LordBid]

wow yea sick sounds, def a lot of delay reverb, but lord knows its far beyond what I know how to do atm.

[jaydot]

Choke on Coke is a tune.

[deadly_habit]

heh he's in the same band as borgore so has a good teacher
in b4 flaming
tomba def has his own sound to him though
lemme get some more booze in me in morning and i'll have a stab at it

[Gombles]

Has to be one of the best vowel filtery synths i heard in a long time, big ups to anyone who can shed some light on it !

[deadly_habit]

sounds to me like 3 sep synth lines runnng for bassline fast as hell on compression side chaining and squashing the hell out of the dynamics for starters
plus some great eq work so every sound occupies ir's own range
almost least to me sounds like he put the bass ahead of the drums in the mix for starters

[SunkLo]

It's probably actual vocal samples processed to smithereens
Crazy noises for sure, no idea how he does it. I'm guessing pacts with the Devil/Martha Stewart

I know a few guys who talk to Tomba , including one who's going to be collabing with him so i'll see what i can get out of people.

In the meantime, a cookie for whoever can get the closest.

nice one man

[neeeil!]

I've spoke to him on facebook a few times about releases and stuff, i'll try giving him a message about coming on here to do a Q&A or something!

That long vowely synth really does sound like an actual vocal of someone yelling into a mic or something. I've heard other people actually do this and get some pretty interesting results with vocoders and what not, but nothing that dynamic. My abilities are nowhere near this so I'm not even going to bother trying as it will probably end up with me crying in a corner.

my attempt. i used gladiator. for details ask me.

also, lots of tombas stuff are samples just overly processed

[jjopara]
