I'd like to know how to create a sound that is akin to the screeching of tyres but with added vibrato. The sound I'm looking for also sounds like a vibrato bend with ("artificial") harmonics on an electric guitar with distortion/overdrive. I'm using NI Massive.
Thanks in advance.
Would be really helpful if you gave us an example because I don't really know what your getting at

The sound I'm looking for reminds of a harmonic "squeal" (1:07):
A more quickly rising tone with similar...esque...ish texture as in the video, but with faster vibrato.
The talking bass in this koan sound is next level!!!
I am just curious what you guys think their technique is for this.
It sounds like FM8, but I am such a noob when it comes to additive synthesis.

Ok first port of call would be to actually play it in but I'm guessing you don't play guitar, second would be to find some samples If that fails, a sine wave plus distortion, with the right amount of pitch glide played at a higher octave, by messing around with notes and pitch bend you could get it, if you want the guitar-ish sound, use a guitar amp emulator

They actually use reason, and for that reason (hehe) they use a hell of a lot of resampling in their sounds. A good way to start is by getting a good reese and then putting it through multiple filters (bandpass filters are good for this.) Layering is also essential, if you search in the dsf google for koan sound bass you'll find some threads that go into more detail

Actually I do play the electric guitar and have one stashed under my bed, albeit without a tremolo bar. It's not exactly the guitar sound I'm after. I managed to concoct something pointing to the right direction using massive:
Hey guys Soundcloud
was wondering how to create this particular vibrato key/lead?
it appears at 0:04 - 0:05 and reappears 0:14 - 0:15 , it reminds me of street fighter or something, has that anime type lead vibe to it
i find it to be very catchy and would love to use this in a track or 2
I understand its some sort of detune with lfo and vibrato but not entirely sure, if anyone is able to recreate this on massive or fm8 would be greatly appreciated, it'd mean alot to me
I'm looking to create a sound similar to the bassline in this. Especially at 01:06 (in NI Massive)
I'm listening on shitty laptop speakers but for the one at 1:06, pick a basic waveform in Massive and then where it says "Spectrum" click that and select "Formant" and play lower octaves. That's the basic idea behind it. And layer a sub underneath it, maybe add some mid-freqs as well, I can't tell if there are any in that song that's how bad these speakers are.
Then he overlaid a cliche C64-esque arp over it, prob square waveform. It's either arp or a pitch envelope, it's moving too fast for me to tell on my current speakers.
i dont really lurk around these how to make 'someones trademark sound' threads.
but i am curious as to how you can make your subbass move like in jungle/dnb tracks
most recent use i've heard is ipmans remix of killawatt.
automate volume b2b pitch b2b freq (slightly) ?
i have had a play around, just cant quite nail it.

My english teacher gave me a weird look when I mentioned that as the musical instrument I played. Like the wtf stare. I had to give her the 'wiki wiki' dj motion to confirm what i meant.

hahah wow that would be awesome!

For that Tom Buchan tune...To me, it sounds like he layered a mid range bass with a higher layer waveform (saw/square). They follow the same melody. Try creating a two saws that are an octave apart. Add voices, and then detune them. Write a melody with this bass in the lower registers. Then play around with some nice dance lead presets played in the upper registers following the same melody. It's not his sounds, but I THINK that's how you'd go about getting that lead to fill those freq ranges.
