Help Me Make That Sound - September 2011

[Earjax]

Quick tip for koan sound sounds: Get a huge phat reese going by layering it with different octaves, giving it phase, chorus etc (lots of phasers!!) and then put a non restarting bandpass on it. Play around with melodies until you get something funky, voila! bandpass and phasing are the key here

if anyone could shed some light on the bass at 1:22 id be much appreciated

By non-restarting do you mean modulated free of key press?

I'm absolutely in love with the lead synth in this track. Anyone know how to replicate it in NI Massive?
Cheers.

Your gonna be spending a long time trying to recreate benga basses He uses 3xosc and sometimes sytrus, and massive. He also does a hell of a lot of resampling and uses mainly audio. I've been trying to recreate this synth for a long time now :L I think its basically a heavily distorted reese with a lot of verb. How he filters it though is beyond me sorry I couldn't be more helpful but this is one tricky sound, try having a gander at his red bull producer classes

I figured something like a reese but wasn't quite sure when I'm home I'll try a reese with verb and slow attack and see where it takes me... In malstrom we trust

Anyone wanna help me with how to make the sound at 0:28 sorry if this have already been asked for, I didn't read through the thread.

I'm absolutely in love with the lead synth in this track. Anyone know how to replicate it in NI Massive?
Cheers.

In massive,

OSC1 : square-saw, full WT, full intensity, no amp leave at 0.00 pitch
OSC2 : Sin-Tri - quatre WT, full intensity, AMP - 10 oclock - detuned -12
OSC3 : square saw, WT 3 quatres, with a small lfo on it, intensity at 11oclock, amp and 12 oclock, pithced up 36
modulation osc : detuned -12 phase setting full on selection 1

route them all to filter 1, scream filter, cutoff full, scream at 12oclock, no resonance

fx1 : brauner tube (play around with it, 2 o'clock dry/wet)

vibrato full, (this will give the obvious high end wobble)

insert 1 : s"shaper, full drive, 12oclock dry/wet
insert 2 : s shaper 2 oclock dry/wet 2oclock drive

FINALLY, that lfo on OSC3, 1/12, xfade in the middle, sine wave and sawtooth
play around with the eq, the sound will be very weighty so your gunna have to cut some low-mids for your drums,
message me if your still having trouble

ok so after some time fiddling with it, i think i have something close
i used the bendy reece patch in thor then split the freq's then scream 4'd the hell outta it

thanks man, sounds pretty spot on!

[LifeOfCows]

I made a cool sound a bit back and made a tutorial for it. The sound is pretty sexy, to say so myself.

It is a reese, but there's so much more to this sound than just your basic detuned saws

I'm well aware...

can anyone help me replicate the lead synth in this track? (preferably in NI Massive)
cheers!

[mtl6]

im tryin to remake doctor p's watch out to gain a better knowledge of sound design and melody here's one night's work so far

Soundcloud

anyone know how to beef these sounds up? i know there are noises in the background in the original song but im trying to focus on the main leads. how can i dirty them up and get that crunch? is layering the right solution? i tried distorting and bitcrushing but then the leads seem to lose their focus and punch. what do you guys think?

[Augment]

Layer the high pitced one so it gets moer meat. Experiment, really.

[mtl6]

i like experimenting (heh heh) but i don't even have a clue where to begin. is the meat coming from a certain waveform? or do you think its bitcrushing? no clue where to start
