I'm using envelopes instead of LFO's what a difference!
Hey guys i'm making brostep music and have been working for the longest how all these artists get their big sounds. Literally i think its all in the envelopes. The wobbles come out so pure and you get so much control over the sound man i'm so excited idk how i never knew this before
Re: I'm using envelopes instead of LFO's what a difference!
Do you know how a wobble works, technically?
Its from the cut off from the filter moving up/down at a speed which sweeps through the sound creating a "wob" sound.
The filter envelope does exactly the same thing as the LFO; but the LFO is a continuous cycle (like a sine wave, repeating over and over again)
Filter envelopes get you the sound as a one-shot and you play the rest with midi notes.. its pretty much the same but people have finally realised using the envo instead gives you more control.

Or you can use neither and draw in your automation by hand (or with knob twisting awesomeness)

envelopes + lfos = massive basslines.

Re: I'm using envelopes instead of LFO's what a difference!
Basically the same thing just more customisation which is probably why it sounds different. Another few different 'LFO' techniques are running a bass patch through an arpeggiator which gives it a repetitive more sharp sound rather than the LFO which is using the cut-off to make the wobble. Also bouncing out the audio and then chopping it up and looping that sounds pretty cool!

Re: I'm using envelopes instead of LFO's what a difference!
This. One thing I've become really fond of recently, for basses, is to sample some complex "natural envelope" type sound (think didgeridoo or harmonica type of timbre and natural evolution), slice it to one pretty even swell/decay sound (or any combination you want) then repitch and timestretch to make a bassline out of those one shots. It takes a little while but I really like the effect.amphibian wrote:Or you can use neither and draw in your automation by hand (or with knob twisting awesomeness)
