Practical question: how to recreate this sound?
View this Thread in Original format

The sound I'm referring to is the one that's playing when the kick sets in at 00:39

I've been messing about in Albino 3 but it sounds way too shallow.

You mean the bass sound? Or the mid to high, noisy synth sound?
Xilver
Yeah sorry, the noisy synth indeed
MrJiveBoJingles
It sounds like something you might get modulating a square wave with noise (using FM). Might be on multiple octaves, too, not sure.

May have a crack at it later and report back.
Xilver
Thanks, I'll give it a go as well, and end up with something completely different ;)

Had a try, got something similar:

http://jbj.raceriv.com/sounds/ta/fm1.wav

Made by modulating square wave with noise (FM). Modulation index is pretty small because you don't need much before it gets extremely noisy. Medium attack and medium release on the envelope. I put a multitap delay on mine but now realize that their effect is just a filtered echo.

Their sound has more high harmonic content, which makes me think they mixed in another wave somewhere. But I think the one I made is a decent starting point.

Sweet sound.

We should have a general sound recreation thread. I love trying to figure this stuff out. Maybe someone could tell me how to get this huge sound from Extrawelt - "Fernweh":

Starts around 4:18 and gets louder over time. Love that buildup.

Sounds like a good idea, would cut back on the "how do I sound like..." threads.

It would, if people actually used it. But it would be difficult to herd everyone into the thread.

I don't actually mind threads about specific sounds anyway. They're a nice break from "Should I get a Virus TI?", "How do I maek trantz like PvD?!?!" and "Which VSTs are the best?" threads.

cool i love having a pseudo stab at these. (even if i fail ;D)

although this may be incorrect, i focused my attention on distortion type effects (Tube / Overdrive)

heres is my mp3 sample. [[ LINK REMOVED ]]



and here is the picture to my synth processing. [LINK]

I think I got a starting sound: http://users.telenet.be/tcx/snds/spektreSound01.wav

I'm doing this with Albino3:
1. White noise in Osc1
2. Analog square wave in Osc2
3. Low attack on both
4. Somewhat long sustain on Osc2
5. Using 4 effects on that:
- Chorus with low wet
- WahWah with a low attack
- Reverb with a low wet, a medium pre-delay, and a rather big room size
- Delay with a medium wet, left channel synced to 1/4, right channel synced to 1/8

I think I'm gonna tweak it a bit more tomorrow, but I think I got to a decent starting point
MrJiveBoJingles
Nice work msz. I think the upper harmonics sound closer than in mine.
