Circus records average wobble help?

Post by dj Cappa » Sun Aug 28, 2011 8:12 pm

Hi, im really interested in learning how to get that wobble that seems to show up in many of circus record's tracks. Its like a heavy, squealing but not overly high pitched wobble.

examples:

Soundcloud
around 0:15


0:26


0:28

i realise these arent the exact same wobbles, but i hope you can understand the style of wobble im trying to achieve. Something with a squeaky high pitched feel thats not overly high pitched.

thanks! :corndance:
:)

you layer a couple different wave forms, then mess with the cutoff/resonance/other fx etc, probably split the wobble into 3 different parts and layer them all after doing work on each.

don't forget, if that sort of stuff was easy to do, everyone would be doing it(already seems like everyone's trying/tried it), and it would be paying min wage, not paying flux and doc p 15k a shitty 1hr set. great productions, terrible dj skills.

Thanks, and I know its not easy to do. I've learnt a lot about sound design on my own but couldnt figure this one out. I've tried layering waveforms, its what I always do but I couldn't figure out how to get that high pitchedness but still have the heaviness and grit. Came close by layering a plain synth with a fm'd bass 2-3 octaves lower, but that didn't sound good, even though it was closer to what I wanted.
If anyone else has tips it'd be greatly appreciated :D
:)

Maybe try some high-frequency ring modulation, that can make some really distorted but high-pitched noise

Not really looking for distortion, mostly just that high pitched overtone while keeping the nice gritty bass

I made a massive patch that sounds almost exactly the same as the Roksonix 2bad tune you mentioned. I can send it to you if you like? It's quite simple, saws with a sine 2 octaves up, classic tube, sine shaper and LFO on bandpass filter if my memory serves me correctly

pitching one of the oscillators up will definitely give it a ripping sound almost, another way to do this in massive in to automate the phase, or attach the same Lfo to it that you did to your filter.
