Re: How to make a Nice Build up
Most build ups like you are describing are just white noise. Take some white noise, run it through a low pass filter and then modulate the cut off. As the cutoff gets higher it'll sound "windier." If you want to add a "swoosh" try adding some resonance to your filter.

^^ This
When you've got a good sound, bounce it out and save it. That way whenever you need one in future, you can import directly into the play list.
Re: How to make a Nice Build up
Bandpass filters work nice with white noise.
Re: How to make a Nice Build up
And don't just limit it to white noise.
I've got a folder full of 4/8/16 bar sounds - white noise, pad sweeps, random 3xOsc bass modulations, synths etc etc. Run them through several automated events, like the afore mentioned filter cranking, maybe sidechaining to a silenced 4/4 kick, gradually opening flange whatever, then bounce out.
If they're shit, delete them. If they're half decent, save them in a folder somewhere and whenver you need something to pull out to flesh out the transitions in a project, you can just drag & drop.

Re: How to make a Nice Build up
I was messing the other day and i highpassed the main riff, added camel phat onto it, and automated the bitcrusher only from 0% to 100% and as it gets near 100% you get some weird glitchy sound. i thought it sounded pretty good layered with the white noise build up, like the track was decaying or something. maybe something to try?
Re: How to make a Nice Build up
Flange sounds delicious on white noise.
And automate EVERYTHING on the riser - delay, reverb, EQ, resonance etc etc

Re: How to make a Nice Build up
use the same envelope you're using for the riser to increase the wet on phasers, flangers, etc.

increase reverb as b-b-b-b-b-b-uiiild.
then cut for drop.
Re: How to make a Nice Build up
bitfuckingcrush and downsampling automation with highpass filter is a personal favourite, or use sends and build lots of effects up to full (delay, reverb, whatever) then switch them all off to give contrast

Re: How to make a Nice Build up
In FL Studio..
1. Select the 3xOsc synthesizer.
2. Change the waveform to the 'noise' shape.
3. Put 3xOsc on a mixer track.
4. Add > Fruity Filter.
5. Select lowpass or bandpass.
6. Automate the cutoff filter.

You could also use 3xOSCs internal filter.codymackaz wrote:In FL Studio..

OP: Any kind of automation that makes it sound more "epic", is a good choice. Aka, automating lfo rate so that it gets faster (or slower), automating reverb amount, volume, eq frequencies.etc.

yep, though the typical methods work great on dj formulated tracks
