Re: Help Me Make That Sound - 2011.
Rising, gliding, driving bassline at 0:22 - 0:27. I'm sure it's an envelope creating the drive, I've tried a long attack and short release, but I'm not sure if it's just the note placement that create that pulsating sound, or if it's steps. Any advice would be appreciated.
Re: Help Me Make That Sound - 2011.
1:23 the noise that sounds like its smearing all over the track after the two "yuk yuk" sounds.

@AnomiK: Sounds like a hoover (or reese) with notch filtering (or flanging).
@GothamHero: Sounds like sidechain compression/ducking on detuned saws with a shallow LFO on vibrato. Meanwhile, a pitch bend up.

Re: Help Me Make That Sound - 2011.
I know persist and funty use reason but trampa I'm pretty sure is a massive dude. mostly I think it's distortion that's getting it like that but I would love to make sounds like this. very aggressive sounds and even Genetix have a couple sounds like this and I'm sure they use reasonCaptain Planet wrote:bumpppp!Captain Planet wrote:Is anyone able to help me make these style wobbles? feels weird calling them wobbles because they dont seem very wobbly imo
0:35 from here
again, about 0:35 here
around 0:28-0:29ish here
about 0:30
finally, 0:30 here
anyone able to help me out? I'm pretty sure all of those artists are Reason users, or at least rewire Reason; I've been playing around in Reason but cant get anything
Re: Help Me Make That Sound - 2011.
@iramdubstep: Bass hits (with an ADSR shaped like this: \ ) + distortion + short delay times (30-45 ms) or comb filtering (about 30Hz), sounds like.
Re: Help Me Make That Sound - 2011.
I can't help you with the whole sound, but I can help you with the basis of all of these "wobbles". You are spot on when you mention that these sounds don't seem very wobbly, mostly because they are not. Instead of free flowing about, most of these sounds have a very distinct on/off character. I've never used Reason, but I imagine you can choose a shape for the LFO you use to modulate certain parameters on a synth, such as filter cutoff, filter resonance, pitch and volume. You need use a square shape to first get that on/off idea going and then I've found it best to modulate the overall volume of a sound to REALLY get an on/off type of sound going.Mannyyyyy wrote:I know persist and funty use reason but trampa I'm pretty sure is a massive dude. mostly I think it's distortion that's getting it like that but I would love to make sounds like this. very aggressive sounds and even Genetix have a couple sounds like this and I'm sure they use reasonCaptain Planet wrote:bumpppp!Captain Planet wrote:Is anyone able to help me make these style wobbles? feels weird calling them wobbles because they dont seem very wobbly imo

I hope this is what you were going after. I'm just a n00b like the rest of us.

Re: Help Me Make That Sound - 2011.
Heard this unreleased, and therefore I assume, unfinished track on a KOAN Sound mix. Culprate with Tekka and Sticky Disco. Track starts at 1:43, craziness comes in at 1:57/1:58 and again at 2:16/2:17.
I have a rough idea as to what is going on, just would like to get an idea if I am on the right track. It sounds like any other bassline stab with a hefty amount of reverb, but compressed to shit, to make that reverb tail epically long. The guys then chopped up the sound interestingly, making cuts right during the long ass reverb tail. Rough idea there? That moment struck me so much because I am so used to letting reverbs and delays just decay and release themselves off into the sunset. Never really heard a nice, tasteful example of doing things this way.

Hello, just looking for help on the very first synth.
The video game sounding type bit.
Thanks as always.

and chainsmoke my way through the gaps in between my aspirations and my apathy.

Triangle wave form, detuned to get the basic synth noise. Alternatively, for the synth sound that requires little tuning, try using Peach.
The effects, sounds like a basic arp pattern, maybe with a repeater on it. A VST like SupaTrigga can provide a similar effect, though you will need to fiddle to get the exact effect.

Re: Help Me Make That Sound - 2011.
Thanks for the advice there, I'm still having no luck making this sound but from playing around with what youve said, I can see how it's probably the right way to go about it.xx773xx wrote:I can't help you with the whole sound, but I can help you with the basis of all of these "wobbles".

Are you a Reason user Mannyyyyyy? I'm using Malstrom to try and recreate this in purely for the grainy kinda sound to it, and I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that Trampa is a Reason guy, though I could be wrong since everyone and their nan uses Massive haha .
Still at a loss with this bass though

Re: Help Me Make That Sound - 2011.
At 0:25. What's that key sound? What's the name of the instrument?
I'll track down samples of it myself, but I'm just wondering what it's called.
Cheers!

were you referring to the skism track? i suppose i would find out after some modulationkikaruu wrote:@AnomiK: Sounds like a hoover (or reese) with notch filtering (or flanging).

its a beautiful sound, never heard anything quite like it.
Re: Help Me Make That Sound - 2011.
Yeah, the Skism one. By the way, I haven't used one in a while, but if you have a spectrogram program, make heavy use of it. (Foobar2000 has a nice one built-in.) Run tracks through it and see exactly what's going on. Once I reinstall Windows into a VM I'll be able to see if my hypothesis was correct. For more sounds like it, look into Matta's "Vortex", Noisisa's "Monster", or Reso's "War Machine".AnomiK wrote:were you referring to the skism track? i suppose i would find out after some modulationkikaruu wrote:@AnomiK: Sounds like a hoover (or reese) with notch filtering (or flanging).
