How To Make This Sound - August/September 2012

Can anyone shed some light on this sound? It is the crushing stabby sound found at 1:24, I've searched for advice on these types of synths but nothing I have done has yielded very good results.

What am I looking for? Vocoding doesn't seem to be it, I want something that will either listen to my voice/recording and apply the correct filtering, either as an external plugin or whatever. Vocoder does seem close, I'll admit, but I'm not seeing one that does well enough. It's more robotic and less real feeling. I'd like something I could put over my other synths.

I have a legal copy of Reaktor, and wanted to try out "the mouth" but it's annoying and you only get 30 minutes to mess with it. Is it worth the full price? It seems like as a synth it's not very good, but if I could really trigger it with midi to act as an effect over other synths...

And if not The Mouth, what else?

MAKE A TALKBOX! search diy talkbox. its preatty effective and easy

thanks if anyone figures it out :3

theres alot of movement in there pads. you could try looping the decay of an instrument and drenching it in reverb

the stabs/chords in the beginning of this tune?

i saw it asked in an earlier thread in January but it just got ignored

ok so this pad sound comes in around 43 seconds. Its so awesome and triumphant. I hear it alot in these sorts of tunes and I was wondering if anyone knew what synth it came from. I'm gunna assume its a preset since I hear it in so many different producers songs and it sounds similar in all their songs.

I've got some 3.5 inch car stereo speakers (good quality, hundred bucks for a pair easy), a 6x9 stock car speaker... I think I might use one of them. But it looks like everyone uses compression drivers. I just don't think they'd have the low end I'd like.

I kinda have the idea of how to achieve this effect(until some point), and I'm going to start experimenting right away, but maybe you guys know if theres a plugin that keeps things clean and clear.
thx

pitch down with melodyne and change the formant?

Attila · Post by **Attila** » Sun Aug 19, 2012 4:26 pm

Most important thing would be to start with a good voice that already nearly hits in that register. Then as far as I can tell it's just pitched down a little bit and has some light vocoding+delay. Might play around with it, never tried to make an Optimus Prime voice.

Hey all.

Just trying to find the same thats used in a lot of hip hop stuff in Kyoto. I thought it was a 909 but i'm not getting the same result in this track...

Any ideas what sample he's using?

It's the snare that comes in at 9 secs into the song

Sorry for the Skrillex post

crunkedxup · Post by **crunkedxup** » Mon Aug 20, 2012 12:00 am

just an 808 snare mate nothing fancy.

pitch it up a bit and you're good to go

forsak3n · Post by **forsak3n** » Mon Aug 20, 2012 12:21 am

thanks mate

Hi,
For a while now I've wondered how dubstep producers get their stuttering muted-guitar-kinda sound. I've linked three examples of this phenomenon for you to understand what I mean. It would be really helpful to get some tips.
Thank you for now.

it sounds like a square/saw based patch thats been detuned, and theres some chorus and vibrato
