Air Track

Theres commonly a track of filtered (and most likely modulated) air
in many great tracks, when did this come about, and -what is the best method of making a track like this-?

To get a better idea of what i mean, its sounds like filtered noise and usually the cut and res of this track is modulated to sound airy and crisp usually most pronounced during the build up.

Increasing the reverb lenghth of a white noise sweep??

Need examples dude

sounds like ur lookin for a whitenoise "rise" or "sweep" with a high-pass filter starting from lower frequencies and ending high i think

Think of it like a string instrument track only noise, but sustained throughout possibly whole track-(but most noticeable during buildup/main melody sections) will get examples up asap

pad + whitenoise + pinknoise + saturation/bitcrushing = the sound you're after

maybe you talking about supersaw pads?

They are simple noise sweeps. Just grab an instrument capable of producing noise (like the Albino3), get som white and brown noise, throw some effects of your choosing on top, lay out a note of noise of desired length then automate the cutoff on the filter.

I always have an instance of Albino3 in my projects for the sweeps. That way i can lay out as many bars of noise as i please at different points in the track without having to fiddle with some crappy pre-made .wav sweep.

Thanks alot guys. Yeah using synth capable and then automating is more versatile than using a .wav, but as far as setting duration-is that more opinion or is there usually a set number of bars the noise is kept for?

Opinion, like everything else.

If anyone uses FL

(1) 3xOsc (or Sytrus) set to a white noise output.

(1) Fruity Phaser

(1) Fruity X-Y Controller

Set the 3xOsc's filter to BP and give it a high resonance value. Now link the Cutoff to the X of the X-Y Controller.

Max out most of the phaser controls and link "Min Depth" to the Y of the X-Y controller.

Play or draw in a note on the 3xOsc and move the X-Y controller, and voila!
