hi

ive been really enjoying artists such as cosmithex the last few days

its made me realize that although my traditional type synth sounds are coming along (leads/bass/typical pads,etc) an area were im very much lacking is creating these rich and interesting atmospheres such as this:

if amyone has any thoughts, other than use long reverbs and delays and get omnisphere id be interested to hear

cheers

There's nothing unusual there tbh.

It's a mixture of pads, analogue style basses and leads combined with more raw/distorted acids with delay and verb over them.

It's just a case of building up the textures.

I can't listen to the track here at work,

but try out Omnisphere, it has some interesting textures to get cool background stuff going on.

^ Trifonic's tutorial on pad design. Has some really great suggestions -- basically he uses the ES2 on default samples and Space Designer to make them mostly wet, and processes several versions through varying effects. Then you do your sub-mix and come up with more interesting sounds.

I'm looking into making these too, and I think using completely/mostly wet signals for pieces of metal, chimes, and other instruments can contribute. The reason Omnisphere works well is it has 40 oscillators, so each "sound" is already very layered.

haven't messed around with omnisphere yet but absynth is great for pads


It's nice to hear some psytrance at a listenable bpm, like under 140.

absynth is very good for deep atmospheric pads too...

I mostly use various vsts (absynth is really good for pads and stuff), granular synthesis and the trick which is shown in Trifonic's tutorial posted above
