Okey, so here's the deal. I've been having few problems with coming up with FX's. I mean, it's simple. You just take a sample, or a synthesized FX, and add a sick amount of (phasers, flangers, choruses, EQ's, delays, reverbs and whatever) to it. It's that simple.
Though it seems to some people that this is acctually a difficult thing to do. Well, old PutBoy to the rescue. I'm hereby staring a thread with brainstorming ideas. Like the exploration of sound thing, but for FX's instead. So here we go. I'll do the first.
"Woodpeck!" (optimized for FL):
For this you'll need the FM7. I'll use the patch #5: Werlitcheritz (or whatever). Use the C7-octave.
Now. The notes are simple. a short note 4 times per every beat for one bar. Leave some spaces between them to get the most out of the attack. I'd post a pic, but I don't know how so my descripton will do. The note's velocity raises from 0% to 100%, and you should Automate it so the volume goes from 0% to 100% aswell. Don't know how to describe that any better than that.
Add a high pass filter at about 650 hz. You could also EQ at your plessure, but the filter is all that is really needed as far as the EQ goes. Then add a delay (I prefer to set the steps to 3 on the Fruity Delay. Then add a phaser. Massive depth and stereo width here. Play with the rest of the settings. Full wet rocks though.
Add a brickwalling compressor, though don't overdo it. To not overdo it you could add another compressor afterwards to fix it a bit.
Then add a stereo enhancer too. This FX is a surrounding one.
And here's my result, I'm using it in my new track:

I could always use with some more ideas. So post some of your own. |
