Pages (7): « 1 2 3 [4] 5 6 7 »

I've written a description of each sample in the tutorial, is that not enough?

Here's my approach

Just want to say Thank You Mr. Mystery if it weren't for you I would still use loops.

Cheers,
John

Amazing tutorial Mystery,

Was just wondering if you get some time, if you could show us how to get that chunky percs sound that I hear so much of (ie. Marco V, Johan Gielen etc...). And also how to get the really "full" sound with the hats, layering etc.. .

Ta very muchly and keep up the good work!

I'm not really sure what you mean by "chunky"...

Didn't see this thread back in the day.

I like it Mystery. I like it.

Marco V style tech percs, using wood type instruments along with the traditional hats etc.. is what I am getting at really. I'll put some samples up later to show u what I mean.

Well I haven't really tried that out, but to me a lot of that sound comes from synths acting as a percussive element (like a heavily compressed & distorted synth playing really short stabs rhytmically).

Amazing tutorial...thank you!!
Will we see part 2??

I'm not really sure what to do it about - this same one can be used in most EDM styles with slight variations.

Any suggestions?

That has nothing to do with percs, but...


I have a clear white noise sample myself, which I then run through various FX units (lots of reverb, possibly some distortion etc.) and there we go. A fully controllable whoosh.

so you just control it with volume of a highpass filter?

I agree. Even though it does have nothing to do with percussion.

I've yet to find a really good tutorial on how to turn a basic whitenoise filter sweep into that awesome "everything is being sucked into a vortex" sound effect. I absolutely hate having to use such a cliche example whenever I ask someone about this, but Sandstorm has the exact sound I'm thinking of.

I think it's something to do with chorus and flanging, or maybe even FM modulation or something? I can't tell. I recently created a pretty nice fwoosh effect in Reason using filtered noise, reverb, delay, and flange, but it's still not quite there.

And while I'm posting, let me be yet another of many to say "thanks, this tutorial completely rocked." I thought I had basic trance percussion pretty much figured out until I read this.

Sorry if you know it already, but there's a nice free VST that does this job very well: whoosh

Again, I don't see what those things have to do with percussion.

certain parameter settings for compressing percussion sounds?

Mr.Mystery would you like to share the percussion instruments you used? I lost all my stuff

Melody & Bassline - Without any connection to percussion.
Compressor - A very importent and essential element when you build percussion. Am i wrong?

Sure, but they're mostly Reason refills.

The only thing I really use compression on is the bass drum, I don't really see the point in compressing any other percs.

Are you serious??
Don't you use compression in kicks, snars an other percs??
How do you get a punchy kick?

Bass drum = Kick
