Is this a joke?

@mromgwtf
Nope

I think it might work if i layer it with something and process a little differently.
@mthrfnk
Nope

Just recorded myself.

Lol you're still on about that? Who cares. Whether you sampled it or not, the fact that people think you did means its so similar that its something you should never use anyway. Just bein real with ya.

Any tips on creating a growl like the main one in this song? I've managed to accidentally create something pretty close, seems to be a mix of arctic and scrapyard, which seems to create that bzeeeeuuummm sound in it. and then some sort of formant.

My attempts always seem to sound really hollow, too distorted and not juicy/wet enough. Any tips? I can post what I've got so far in a lil bit.

Well after a quick listen I'd go for scrap yard, deep throat or crude WT's in bend +/- mode. That should give you a wet sound.

Vocal filtering and a band reject sweep should give you a more growly sound.

It also sounds like they're pitch bending the notes down and sometimes back up.

Made this quickly in the past few minutes just to try and show what I said should come out like... depends whether that's what you want:

I don't know if anyone has said this yet, but what I do for growls is use a simple fm8 patch with a controller macro on like everything, and then throw a shit ton of vsts over the top to make it sound large.

Or in massive use a combo of the carbon/scrapyard, and then any talking wave table, it'll already sound sorta growly and all you need is distortion, highpass, and a formant filter and it sounds quite good.

The second method (without the wow filter) can be heard here at 0:22

I like to use 2 band pass filters in series with a decent amount of resonance. After that I use a multi band comp and then finally a freq shifter at 50% wet/dry. this almost always sounds cool IMO after that, it's all basics. Overdrive, verb, chorus, etc.

I realize my bass had no bass or low end, I made the FLP in like 10 mins and didn't feel like adding a sub bass and automating a filter over it to fit with the growl, plus there's a high-pass being automated on the growl so it loses all it's low end there.

Also here's the FLP link: http://www.mediafire.com/?64win0p5927844i

Nice growls, and nice remix! Is there any LFOs on your massive patch? (Care to upload a SS of it?

)

neonmansion · Post by **neonmansion** » Tue Dec 11, 2012 4:42 am

i just made some new growls for a new track i made called "watch me now"

i used fm8 and guitar rig but i also added in some bit reduction and flanger for more high end effects. lemme know what you think

I downloaded your project file.. the samples were missing, and I have the old version of massive so the patch wasn't loaded. I got bored and made my own, but your high pass filter gave me big tip to filtering.

Soundcloud

The whole filtering here is just one high pass filter with little resonance. Then, I distorted it using camel phats. I'm not automating anything inside massive.

I made a growl using massive:
Soundcloud

I think I did good tbh, and I found that there's almost 100 of different growlie noises I can get out of the one patch I made by making minor changes in the wavetables, the phase modulation i set, or even the cutoff on the hipass I put in massive.
Basically I used 2 hipass filters, one is made with a normal EQ, the other is in massive. The one in massive stays where ever I choose to leave the cutoff, while the other one is automated with the wow filter knob. Like I said, there's many different sounds I can get by messing with the hipass cutoff in massive!

Thanks for the tips. I'll experiment with this when I get home.
