I've recorded a cigarette lighter before to get a hi-hat sound.

ive been looking to make this sound also.... any extra tips besides the above? presets? haha

*push*

i tried to recreate it again.. now i know that it works best with the filter envelope. but i don't really know what's the base-waveform for this kind of effect.

i've it so far now: http://www.solarproject.ch/linked/outback_fx.mp3

your'e on your way there but first of it sounds a bit weird when youre using a saw waveform (at least it sounds like one)

try a more digital waveform and then mangle it through a few compressors, equalizers, maybe a distortion or two and so on

it's a square and a saw-waveform.. and a bit ringmodulation.

what do you mean with a digital waveform? square is digital, or am i wrong?

If you guys are trying to emulate the Outback fx I know pretty much exactly how they do it. Take a patch with plenty of resonance and lp filter with mid cutoff, then grab the distortion knob and crank it. It's all about distortion automation.

The key is that you should play the note then raise the distortion. It causes a "distortion sweep", if you will.

well here's what iv done so far:

iv made with it synth1 by decreasiing the reso and a increasing the attack abit so it will have a swirly shape added some high overdrive distortion

:P

Yeah...
FX background.. what instrument do u guys use??
Sometime i use Strings and i ride the filter cut HIGH n LOW.. tweaking... and also Snare.. i place the Key at the lowest picth and put a DELAY n FILTER effect alot on it so it goes.. ECHOING along some bar...

But most of it i use FX sample from FLstudio(i use FLstudio to produce)... so far my FX synth Background is still SUX!

So maybe what is the best software to create FX or what Instrument is the best for it???

A rather simple patch to program with the right set of ears and tools. What you're hearing are basically all FM based sounds, something that you can easily achieve with the Novation line of synths. Hope that narrows it down for ya!

hi, could you send me or upload that preset for synth 1 ? would be very nice

Yeah thats exactly the way to do it. Its distortion.
For a quick and simple solution try BeatBurner and throw your synth loop in there... Hit the randomize button and within a few clicks you will have what you're looking for... I promise.
