Usually just (white ?) noise with a filter on it, may use lfo's to create a kind of "wobble" effect, im sure others can explain further - of they can be bothered.

White noise being filtered and sidechained.

Im obviously a beginner so some of your advice i dont quite understand. I have got a white noise sample but when you say side chain where / what do i sideschain it to?

Any suggestions on filters please?

thanks.

Sidechain it to analog.

My favorite seekrit technique is to sidechain the search function.

Where could I find a white noise sample in Logic's software synths?

Does anyone know?

It´s called the "test oscillator" on the instrument list.
There you have all sorts of sources! Saw, square, white, pink etc.

Awesome! Thanks buddy

i use the es p for making white noise....turn down all the other ocst on the synth an push the white up all the way... plenty control over it then

I like to use the ES P with the Noise Oscillator turned all the way up and the other oscillators turned down.

Open ES P, and turn all the OSC types down except the Noise Osc. The on the Amp Envelope, turn the attack, decay and release all the way down and turn the Sustain all the way up. The use the cutoff to sweep (or use a third party filter plugin to sweep, as I do).

The ES P has this cheesy chorus setting that gives the noise a certain sound I like.

Thanks for the info guys. I cant wait to get home and try this out!
