| Originally posted by Eric J OK, I hear it now. Umm, it may be a combination of as few things. There is definitely some low and hi cuts along with maybe some mid boost. There may be some bit crushing going on because her voice sounds really lo-fi. There may also be a bit of distortion of overdrive on her voice. Really, it sounds like she is singing through a tape recorder, which is very cool. |
If someone has an un-effected acapella handy, I can try to emulate that vocal sound.
Here is something sort of similar that I do with string sounds occasionally for ambient / downtempo stuff:

Bandpass filter + lowpass filter + tape saturation effect + LFO on the pitch to make it "wobbly."
the sound is a guitar with chorus with rather quick lfo modulation.
Vocals are just eq'd with some delay.

It sounds like a sampled guitar to me rather than a synth sound. Honestly, guitars can make all kinds of beautiful sounds on their own and trying to get a nice guitar noise from a synth seems a bit backward to me. It's fun to try as a challenge, but if you want something that actually sounds like a guitar there is no substitute for the real thing.

I'd say it sounds more like a guitar with a formant filter on it to give it a voxy sound. Also, I don't think that's portamento, because the pitch isn't ascending or descending to the tone - if it's a real guitar, it's just naturally going out of pitch on the transient as all guitars do. If it's a synth, it was probably programmed with an envelope that is modulating the pitch with a quick attack/release to give it a more realistic guitar-like transient.
trust me , it is a guitar with a chorus effect with fast modulation. You can even hear the individual oscillations. It is a stock guitar effect that is on countless albums.

not quite the same but you get the jist.
the guitar phrase is also playing in reverse.
Has anyone an idea about this nice pounding bass sound.

This sounds a little closer I think:

I added a bit of noise and increased the proportion of square in it.
It's best if you have a synth that lets you adjust the width of your oscillators as this sound kind of relies on the way the two oscillators move against each other.
The bass alone seems really simple, but so pounding with the sidechaining in full effect.
Damn can't get enough of it atm 
80s 
Yeah the sidechain and the kick used are definitely part of the "power" of that sound.
I guess that's part of Eric's secret to turn the simple things into pounding dance tracks,
that don't sound simple at all.
Yeah, IMO a lot of his sounds are not very hard to figure out, but he seems to have an instinct for tweaking them and mixing them until they fit just right for the track and sound really nice together. That plus some really catchy hooks are the things that set him apart from the crowd.
