Hehe, I've spent a LOT of time trying to get those Outback style synth effects. The closest I've come is with Atmosphere, one of the moog bass presets can get close with a bunch of tweaking. You want to ride the cutoff and resonance knobs like crazy.

what effect are we talking about on that track ?

z3ta can do a very good job aswell, its like dj-sean said: tweaking cutoff and resonance

To get some really cool, trippy little background type synths, use a digital waveform to modulate an LFO, then link that LFO to something plain stupid like the frequency of the phaser and the cutoff. (Cutoffs are fun)

Well, dunno if it's really on topic, but don't always think that synths are the end all be all. Anything can sound nice with enough work on it.

Kinda reminds me a movie (school) I had to do the sound on (we had to do the actual on stage recording, the editing, the mixing, and even the sound design). And one scene was on a submarine. I needed kind of a general atmosphere, one that would sound pretty eery.
I could have easily taken a sample cd (like the Hollywood edge or BBC series), but I remember recording the motor of a windscreen wiper on a car. I just mangled it to death (filter, reverberate, modulate, cut, chop, paste, reverse, whatever exists, I might have done it). End that ended on the scene, and nobody ever noticed a windscreen wiper. Kinda like the screech for landing airplane tyres is done a lot with mangled elephant cries...

Ok it's not really music, but it shows that if you want sounds done, with a little experimentation, anything can give a good result.

That reminds me, Mr Thy, what you say is correct. We have at our disposal tools that pros 10-15 years ago would have paid a fortune for. I remember one track I did I made a distinctive snare sound from recording my venetian blinds falling and mangling in soundengine. It's so easy to fall into that trap of spending all our time and energy merely to end up sounding like someone else innit?

>Right on dude. Now I don't want you people to judge me, but in this song I made before the current one I'm working on I recorded the toilet flushing, and made a 'wossh' sound with that
