How to create a massive PvD-like flange?
View this Thread in Original format
TranceInMySoul
What software effect is capable of a massive PvD-esque flange? I've tried a couple and have two problems:
1) Weedy sound - the flange / phasing is far too gentle ;-)
2) Making the flange peak at the right point in the track (is this just because the flange is free running?)

Any advice? Thanks!

maybe try using a phasor or filter

not entirely sure of what your meaning

its all abt the depth and rate of the flanger, make it a subtile one, so it doesnt drive into the track.

im not entirely sure how flangers work anyway, as i dont use them

but its something to do with pitch modulation n like that

to clarify it more:

1. depth (play around with the max and min)
2. frequency

an alternative method is to boost a certain frequency using band EQ with low width and by changing the frequency of it while the track plays which gives it a flange-like effect

OK, two audio examples for ya, both PvD:
Travelling (380kb)
Tell Me Why (356kb)

Those sound like your simple flanges, the first one has a really slow rate for the first bit but when it starts to go up the rate is changed.

They sounded like the preset flange effect built in to a DJM-500 mixer to me. Cool Edit can do those easily.

PvD using presets? No way! :stongue:

Hi, everybody!

Thanks for the help so far, anyone got any suggestions on what VST effect I should try? I'd much prefer using an insert rather than having to process the track in an external wave editor...

maybe Fruity's own Flanger and Phaser.. dunno if it's good though. Some Buzz machines have several flangers/phasers that can help as well.

Flanger is the effect created by playing two copies of the track/sample with a delay between them that is constantly changing.

So if worst comes to worst, you could probably do it manually somehow :)

The Waves Meta-Flanger is up to the job - and lovely. It's DX though, so you can't synch it as far as I know.

Hope it helps!
