I wanted to make this the opposite of the "Help me make that sound thread" because in that thread it seems like its mostly people asking how things are made and very few of the questions actually get answered.

updated my post. its just a reese though, so I don't think my explaination is needed much.

dubesteppe wrote:Thanks! I'll try that out. You should definately turn your reese into one, because it sounded really good.

into what? and thanks!

@ 0.02 it sounds like someone knocking on a door I like that, would like it even more if the knocks got faster

thanks! what i did was went from a c3 up to a G3 i believe and modulated the pitch so it was a really sharp pitch bend up. and some how it created this large attack which i just sliced up and duplicated.

i just put my headphones on and now i can tell. It sounds preaty sweet. I blew out my laptop speakers so anything under like 300 hz sounds really distorted

Just a bit of a drum and bass track I'm working on.

Wow man this sound preatty cool. You can feel the emotion in it! Would you mind giving some details on how its made?

This sound great! Quick question, when you automate the notch filters is there any technique or is it just completely random? This is my attempt Soundcloud and i tried to make an interesting sweeping design of the filters but i dont think it worked very well.

Ok, So I will get you as close as I possibly can, but the really bass heavy reese I resampled about half a dozen times and used many plugins so I'll will try to generalize everything. I used reason to make the reese but resampled it in fl Studio. Both the different sounds use the same original reese, just with 2 distinct avenues of processing. I'm sure you could make the same type of reese in massive or some other vst, but I have yet to come up with similar results. In a nutshell. I made a reese in reason with more highs than mids. Minimal effects to start out with minimal effects. The effects i used on the original reese (in reason), was first i frequency split it. On the highs, I added a shaper with an LFO modulating its drive and threw on some lighter tape distortion. On the mids i threw on a bit of reverb with NO decay, some really light distortion and a bit of unison to widen it out. I then added a pure sine wave sub bass, with no effects on it. I then bounced 2 patches into fl studio, the low bassy notes and the high notes (the high notes also have a lot of vibrato). In fl studio, I sent the low patch into the vocodex with a low number of bands, brought up the highs and toned down the mids a bit. I exported / bounced this back in, then frequency split it into 2 bands, one with bass and low mids, and the other with highs. I added a bit of saturation to the lower band. For the highs, I used camel space's exciter and saturation and then eq'd it. I also used camel phat. For the higher part of the reese (the note that comes after every bassy note), I added and modulated some exciter distortion so as each note holds longer, the sound gets more "intense". I also used a low pass filter and modulated the cutoff frequency as well as the resonance so as each note holds, the filter opens up gradually. I know there's more that I did but i made it over a month ago, and because of all the resampling, I can't remember everything that was done but this is the jist. I would be more than happy to send you the screen shots of the original reason reese (if you have reason by chance), but it's pretty large so I don't wunna clutter the forum with all those pics. I would also be more than happy to send anybody interested that has reason the combinator patch, provided they can inform me on how I send patches.

All you guys making processed reese in this thread, made me want to give it a try.

Also made another soundscape.

Just some recording I made granulized

Made this the other day. Kinda sounds like a lowpassed vacuum cleaner

pics would be fantastic! and im preaty sure you'd need to send the project file, idk how reason works but if you cant save the patch then the project file should work.

@blinkesko: I was expecting a hoover

2 Sine Waves, 2 Octaves Apart.
Both are detuned, distorted, pitch sliding down, with slowly opening low pass filter.
The lower note has on/off/pulse/square tremolo.

Soundcloud
I drew in a one shot of a tiny pulse wave as like a click sound. Then I put a bunch of random notes into the pattern editor at a fast tempo. I made a few variations and this one had a band pass filter with fast random automation. The band pass filter made it sound really old, and it works neat with vocals for an effect sounding like the singer from Cake or something. I was pretty happy with just making this mundane sound and then I rendered it and put some other effects on it and got these:

Soundcloud
Soundcloud

I like to name most of my sounds with the exact effects chain used so I can remember how I made the sounds. That second processed one is some variation of phaser(s), delay, mda detune, fast random band pass, low pass, formant filter automations, distortion, and reverb in whatever order.

Soundcloud
And this one is exactly as the title says. I took a sample of a dinosaur I found on the internet and used dblue stretch and automated the grain size to give it that pitch bending effect. And distortion/eq/delay after that.

I hope you guys like it!

Damn you really went all out! i like the sounds! very experimental

A sample of a dinosaur? Was it recorded onto a rock?

Soundcloud

I find both the bass sounds I made in this tune pretty interesting, since it was the first time I tried to make something like this!
If anyone wants the Combinator Patches for reason or if they want me to explain how I made them fell free to ask. Or grab a free 320 from soundcloud page if you like the tune!

Before I post my sound, I just wanna say; the tune in your sig is f*cking great. Really chill.

Here's a quick little Reese Bass I made, first time actually pursuing resampling.
Soundcloud
I saved the .als file if anybody is interested, and all the tracks are (hopefully) easy to understand as I kept all the tracks in chronological order as I added effects.

Soundcloud

i dont know remember what the hell was going on in this one but i will gladly post the preset if anyone is interested. I find cmgoodman`s sound interesting, maybe we could threaten/blackmail him to post the preset or whatever...fuck being nice.
