White noise?
|

I hear alot of tracks have a flow of white noise running through the mix and it gives it more balance in the spectrum.
what are people are using to create this, just a synth with a high pass filter?
thanks |

| yeah just use white noise, high res, and bandpass filters. Formant filters also work. |

| I like to use a short part of some FX sample, loop it and then pitch bend it around, cut off the mid and lows, and voilą! |

Also I recommend experimenting with lfo, flanger, phaser, delays and reverbs.
I very recently started to produce my own "noise" rather than relying on samples. They are not quite "there" yet, but damn it's a fun "break" to work on such sounds from the rest of the production...

i make my own (you can hear it in Violet Skies, my last track).. like they said resonance can add an interesting tinge to whitenoise but be careful cuz if you not careful u can bust a tweeter haha as well as you eardrum... playing with comrpessors is actually another helpful fx for whitnoise.. over compression on top of whitenoise can be very interesting to hear
also, personally i have found when making white noise i prefer it on a malstrom with squares or sines, no saws even though some might think a saw has a natural tendency to create whitenoise at high freqs... take my word tho and experiement... the shaper can come in handy quite nicely on the mal for whitenoise and does the filter env..
aight peace |

White noise has the tendency to create whitenoise at all freqs.
Why not just use a synth with a White Noise OSC? |

no - i was implying i find using different waveforms more preferable over the saw waveform that probably most beginners would find most likely to work with white noise..
and why not use a whitenoise osc? well i dunno what you mean.. but the synths ive used dont have a "whitenoise" osc... where i come from u gotta actually use some skill n create it the exact way you want it |

The first keyboard size synth ever the MiniMoog had a whitenoise osc. Used in tons of wind/ambient/scifi FX for movies and such.
You don't make whitenoise with a saw, square or sine. The only way I see that possible is to distort the out of it then HP everything under 2000hz, that could resemble white noise. |

I think white noise is made with random value between -1 and 1 and multiplied by itself to get a gaussian curve.
Of course nearly all synth comes with whitenoise oscillators and it's very easy to make your own fxs whitenoise based.. |

| I only use REAL white noise as rising or falling effects on certain spots of a track. What I like to do instead is to use exciter/high-pass distortion or something similar and reverbs with extremely bright sound to give some synths plenty of air. It gets messy easily but sounds lovely with high quality effects and careful tweaking. When the filter on the synth rises you then get a sweet hair-rising wash of high frequency noise. |

| I'm sure you can download a free signal generator plug-in and it would have white/pink noise on there. I've always used the one in Pro Tools just because it's there and I don't have to look anywhere or install anything else. |

| it can be done quite easily with a simple malstrom. like i said - choose your wave form and experiment with the shaper in conjunction with the filter and env filter. you wont need a scream or HPing it. you can leave it on LP if you choose. its easy. and it works. then you can make interesting arps with filter modulation to form notes. |
