I'm really working on my sound design skills and I want to try and recreate all of the sounds I hear people talking about. Now obviously not all sounds have names but many do so I figured it would be helpful to have a thread where there a ton of sound names so people could use the thread as a resource and then find the proper tutorials to recreate them if they aren't capable of doing so themselves, etc.

I'll start.

Reese Bass
Growl Bass
Wobble Bass
Pluck
Pad
Uplifter
Downlifter

Continue.

Also detailed names (ex: White Noise Uplifter) and examples of the sound appreciated.

On an unrelated note I've always wondered why they call it a "downlifter"... sounds like an oxymoron to me

downlifter is an oxymoron, but it just flows off the tongue, doesn't it?

anyway:

supersaw
hoover
arp
keys
strings
brass
acid
moog bass
rhodes piano
303 reso shit?
organ
sub bass
chiptune
flute
bell

1. donk
2. donk
3. donk
4. donk
5. wub
6. lazer

also jackhammer bass, house organ, skank, yoy, biomechanical super-8
hardstyle leads

I say downshifter not lifter

I call them sweeps. You should probably post examples and a link to a tutorial/thread for each sound. Pretty useless knowing the name of a sound and not what it sounds like

Just call them "Downsweeps and Upsweeps/lifter"

Growl
Formants (Leads and mid range weirdness)
Leads
Skanks (Piano's/guitars or synths)

Vowels
Screeches
Drones

I remember someone coming on here and asking for a sound that he described as liquid diarrhea, another person asked for a cat in a blender. Make sure to include those.
