I'm not saying recreating tunes from producers is a bad thing, it's a very nice way to learn, but making 'original' tunes using someone else's sound is something else imo

Would love to hear some tips from xtronk and KilltheNetwork, if you guys would be so kind as to point me in the right direction for me to begin experimenting on my own.

What do you mean? Tips on what? Bass sounds or something else?

Those bagpipe arpeggios obviously. Breathing techniques etc...

I just bought Sytrus today and having a bit of FM synthesis skill I decided to make a growl with it.
Btw, I would be glad to explain how this works, I am here simply help others learn and learn something myself hopefully
I do have the patch for this up on my tumblr blog if anyone wants to take a closer look.
Lastly, I reuploaded to the same url but this time without the atrocious intro thing and with the growl being clearer.

check it out and i could explain some sounds if you want
I see what you did there.
But it's pretty cool, wanna explain the growls at 21:35 on?
I second this, do explain.
Also I would like to know the details on the growl from "STRFKR - While I'm Alive (Barely Alive Remix)" if that is possible. Those are some wonderful growls.
I don't understand how you get that almost nasally quality from them, pretty great.

here is a better version of the crude/sonic/M talk growl
Ive never really attempted to make a growl. I know the basic but what stuff can i do make something stand out? What is there to modulate to get some sick turns and sqeeks? How do you normally automate your sounds?
i guess you could say this clip uses some "hollow skrillexy" growls and since people were asking for pointers if you'd like an explanation id be more than happy to send you in the right direction. note there is no sub bass in the clip
I got a couple questions . Same thing what i said above? What stuff did you modulate and did you try use a vocoder some how? What synth did you use just wondering?
*Ops forgot, did you resample it to a fair extent? Ive tried to resample couple basses and they dont sound as nice as the original sound but sound more mechanical. I poped it into a simper and messed with starting loop and other stuff. Maybe try kontaks sampler.

The sound was made using FM8. In order to get the vowel sound, I used the WOW filter, but instead of just slapping it on, I modulated vowel A and B along with the resonance, mix, and envelope settings. Instead of resampling, I used sends to layer fx such as chorus, flanger, dimension expander, reverb, ring mod, and various distortions. (all in small amounts). Then I bounced the audio out and applied any lfo motion using xfers lfo tool.(great plugin for side chaining as well).
Chorus , ensemble, flanger are very useful for widening your sounds. On certain sends its important to eq out unwanted frequencies. For ex. you don't want any of the reverb which will make ur sound bigger on the low frequencies as it will simply muddy up your sound. Likewise go easy on the distortion in the lower frequencies as it will ruin any sub bass that your sound has. (unless of course u add a separate sub with matching pitch bends, lfos etc.)
hope that helps a bit, and I can't stress enough that one bit of off automation will make the whole sound sound like trash, so mess around until you find the sweet spot and then just tweak it from there.
