For those effects pros!

Hey guys,

I've noticed that some producers get creative with some background sounds. I've been trying to get these whale-like sounds that kind of echo in the background. Here's a sample of what I mean.

Sample

There are these faint squeal sounds and little background buzzes /noises that keep the song interesting. Any idea on how to do that. Or do I have to hunt for samples? lol!

that are samples.. well, it could be possible to do it with synths but you need to automate it very natural to get the right feeling.

Whales and dolphin underwater sounds are easy! Just use a sine wave (whistle) and use the pitch bend wheel to simulate dips and rises in the whistle. Add some reverb (more for animals further away, less if closer). Maybe some delay, but not much. I haven't tried the other type of noises, typical marine sounds include crackling (high frequency of popping). Not sure how you would fit that into a song....

For sharpening the sound you might want to use triangle waves though!

Maybe he is making the next Ding-a-ling.
Look up a vst called Crystal. Great for ambient effects.

Hi azndragon0613

Interesting question;
I made this one using a low-pass filter set at 3.78 kHz and a relativeley high Q (resonnance) on a noisy sample. The frequency of the filter is then varied in time on a sine wave LFO at a rate of 1 cycle every 2 beats. Its the Auto Filter in Ableton Live 5.

(the first thing you hear when the track starts)
