The filtered pad starting at 1:00 is simply amazing and is perfect for a section in my mix. It seems to be a fairly common effect, so I'm hoping someone here can offer a few tips or simply describe the effect/methods.

Very much appreciated!

Make a nice saw patch on some synth. Put the notes on the kick and in between the kicks and apply ducking on the synth sound triggered by the kick. Done .

Oh and of course slowly open the filter cutoff every now and then.

I already have all of the notes in place and in sync with the kick. I'm just having a difficult time finding the right sound.

I'll try out your suggestion, thanks a bunch! =D

I've completed the track and I thought I'd post it here.

Would anyone be interested in some creative/constructive criticism?

This is my 3rd serious attempt at producing a track, so I know there are parts that sound weak (some due to my impatience for wanting to just post the track) which I intend to fix soon. Once I pick up a few things.

I wasn't entirely successful in re-creating the effect at 1:00 of the original song, mostly because I couldn't find the right SAW effect.

Appreciate any insight offered

Cheers!

I used Rez v2.0(for the melody), Superwave P8(For the strings), and Synth1(For the attempted effect at 1:00). I probably tried every preset to no avail. Much of this song was from me settling on a sound.

Ah, synth1 should be really suitable for the sound you're looking for . Give me a few hours (my work needs to be done first!) and I'll help you out .

This is how my attempt sounds http://www.storytellermusic.nl/Untitled.mp3

Synth settings for Synth1


It's far from perfect, but reasonably close. Only had 30 mins . What I did with the above preset is the following:
- I took the root note of the melody and copied it to 1 octave lower as well for the synth to have a bit more beef
- Then sidechained the synth to the kick.
- Highpass filtered it at around 110 with a 36dB slope.
- Added a slight reverb (used Nomad Blueverb)
- Added another delay plugin (Ohmboyz), set the delay to 1 beat
- Added flux Bittersweet for a bit more timbre (free plugin, highly recommended!)

Other than that I just opened the filter a bit in the clip .

Of course there is an offbeat bassline in the clip too, I did that one with FXpansion Strobe.

Good luck.
