trance white noise?

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone can give me some help with those trance sound effects such as the white noise swishing and others...

So lets start with white noise...how do I produce my own quality sounds? Where do I get started? I have the FL studio suite, so what can I use in this to get this effect?

Thanks for any help
Lester

Grab a synth and set one of the oscillators to noise which will give you white noise. Use the filter to give that swoosh effect as it rise's and falls. Add/remove resonance which will give some character to the sound. Add some reverb if it helps your sound.

Check Youtube for white noise tutorials for more help.

As far as white noise I always go with an equalizer before distortion. When you change the frequencies before distortion you wind up getting a lot of varying tones and what not in the noise. Phasers are also useful but I personally dread that sound. Sometimes I use a bit of bitcrushing but not to much. And I also like to drown my noise in reverb along with a long release. You really want that tail to drift on in certain tracks while other tracks will call for a shorter release.

And of course a bit of sidechain always seems to add more depth. I don't sidechain the noise completely usually just around 30%. This allows the noise to both bounce as well as slide around the beat. Oh and I ALWAYS use a wide stereo effect on noise. Spread that shit wide. You don't want your mono'd drums or synths drowning out anytime noise comes in, so keep it as wide as possible. Thats just the way I do it. For the actual rise and fall theres too many ways of doing, so experiment with new things and don't always just do a regular filter sweep. Othertimes I like to throw a low sine under the noise and pitch it up as it obviously makes it sound tenser, while other times it just will sound cheesy.

We had a pretty good thread about creating white noise FX a while ago. You might find it useful:

I always stack multiple filters with different automations, chorus, eq it until it sounds good, flanging/chorus makes interesting sounds. Reverb, delay, maybe a couple of layers.

Done. Just my two cents.

google. very easy.

though some of these tips here are interesting. i've never used a filter on sweeps before - will definitely try that.
