a question too stupid to ask?

[blkarmphoenix]

Ok I gotta ask it though. I've been researching and producing for almost a year, most of what I do is more ambient music. When trying to write dustup though something isn't clicking in my head.

So here goes. During a drop sequence (whuuuuum wub wub wub screech-a screech-a screech screech. Is each sound its own element or is it fx manipulated on one sound? For example, The main tool in my arsenal is Maschine, if I were doing a typical drop would I load an instrument into a pad, and manipulate plugins to create those sound, or would each wub, screech and sizzle be treated as a one shot played individually?

Hopefully that makes sense, like I said stupid question lol.

It's not a stupid question at all. And it can be a number of things.

I've done tracks where it's just one bass with tons of modulation and long effect chains turning on/off. But I've also done it with different sounds that complement each other. And that's not to mention resampling.

Just keep messing around and see what works for you.

Can be either , different producers have different styles, find what works well for you
