-- Metallic Sound Effect
Pages (2): « 1 [2]

i produce better during a hangover, not joking. And the relationship between artists and drugs has been always present, but drugs can only help you to get some extra inspiration i think, and in the current scene inspiration is something that is lacking and hence you don't need it to succeed. Making extra loud tracks and finely produced seems more important now... no matter if the melody involves only 3 notes and the bass has no groove.

I remember a time when I was certainly more creative. This time just happened to coincide with the years of my life where I was experimenting with such things. But now, I need to preserve all the brain cells that can since I probably did some damage when I was younger! Now, I'll just have to try to find my inspiration through drunkenness

haha ya a little ganja helps every now and then for surez.


I saw Tydi this past year and man that guy was so high on blow i couldnt believe he was still alive. And whats more impressive is that he played a sick set...

cocaine would not really take away your ability to perform as it is a stimulant. Unless we are talking in bed.

also as far as that cricket like metallic sound, basically use a highhat and loop it and close the loop until you get a metallic sound. Then use a filter or envelope to shape it.

hi thanks for the reply. cricket is a good way to describe it! i'm not sure what you mean by loop it and close it. can you explain please?

loop the sample. Close the loop end so it gets shorter and shorter. You will hear at first the sample being repeated faster but at a certain point, it makes this metallic like tone. You need to use a sampler like kontakt or battery. But ya, it is a short portion of a highhat being looped and repeated very fast.

it's exactly the same as i did, delay equals to a short loop of hats and Fruity Flangus is a filter + pan. Do what's easier and faster for you.

didn't mean to steal your thunder. Did not know the question had been properly answered.

i didn't feel that that was your intention honestly, just thought i should point him that it's two different ways of getting the same sound.

Thank you both for your replies. Rodri, I guess you were right about that sound being hats. I didn't think it was, but my ears aren't well trained.

it is the sort of thing you experiment with then figure out how then you are able to recognize it. I don't think anyone listening to that sound would initially think hihat loop. I remember experimenting with sampling trying to achieve the NEO effect and I found that if you looped the vocal and shortened the loop , you could get that sound. Then I just tried it on everything and voila.

luckily, i enjoy experimenting with things, i've been messing around with producing for some time now, but i'm relatively new to electronic music and so there are many new interesting things to learn. it's quite a fun genre to produce i must say!

production is a lot of trial & error and errors more often than should lead to really interesting things.
