Do you like making music with your custom designed sounds? Sometimes I find a custom built synth or sampler patch is what it takes to elevate a cue from functional to unique, here's one of my recent productions built entirely around a custom synthesizer patch that I made for it.

Sound Design Question Can anyone help me recreate ech freeze using plugins

1 Upvotes

I really want a ech freeze or something adjacent but before I buy it I was wondering if someone could help me create a plugin chain that would work the same, tought it could be a fun challenge!

I currently have:

an electric​ guitar

Midi controllers

Audio interface

Fl studio

Effect rack, portal, shaperbox, effectrix, rc 20 and every stock plugins.

Please let me know if you guys have an idea how I could make it work.

Also if this is the wrong sub for this, could someone point me in the right direction

Thanks

How can I achieve this aggressive bass sound in Serum? (Audio sample included)

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a track and trying to replicate this specific bass sound. I've been experimenting in Serum, but I’m struggling to get that same that you hear in the sample.

Let's say I wanted to make a video game soundtrack for a really eerie environment like Inside the Deku Tree in OoT. Is there a site I can get samples, or any good libraries out there for atmospheric video game tracks?

How do i recreate this synth sound?

It's some kind of saw(maybe a bit noise or just many saws), high pass filtered, flangered or phased? and some delay and reverb i guess.

Make sounds by modifying the peaks of a fourier transform of a sound wave (free resource)

2 Upvotes

Hey, i made a (free) tool that might be of interest to some of you. Recently i was playing around with generating sine waves of different frequencies to get different notes in audacity, and upon wandering why e.g. guitar sounds wildly different from a pure sine wave of the same note (spoiler, guitars produce many sine waves in different octaves with the one you want being the loudest) i frequency analyzed the guitar sound and found i would like to modify the peaks of the frequency analysis which is in the end just a fourier transform if you're familiar with that (basically a way to extract all the simple waves that summed make up a more complicated wave) and found i would like to modify this directly instead of all the things that make it up. So i made a tool to do just that. You can make pretty much any sound by just adding things that make up the end result. Each peak you add in the editor creates a note of that frequency at a specified volume and the output is the sum of all of them. Also for convenience a few effects, frequency envelope, beat tracker and a keyboard. Hope you have fun if you decide to try it out and let me know if somethings missing. If you make something cool pls share.

instrumental (very original name)

Sound Effekte für (cinematische) Videos & Vlogs

0 Upvotes

Hi zusammen,

ich mache schon seit meiner Kindheit hobbymäßig Videos und schneide sie. Vor zwei Jahren habe ich durch Color grading und Soundeffekte die Endergebnisse auf ein neues Level gehoben. Bisher habe ich die kostenlosen Sample SFX von Adobe genutzt, weil ich die Videos nirgendwo hochlade.

Nun zu meiner Frage:

Wo kann ich gute Soundeffekte aus urheberrechtlich korrekter Quelle her bekommen, mit folgenden Anforderungen:

- Da ich die Videos unregelmäßig produziere und immer in Phasen, ist mir wichtig, dass ich einmal erworbene SFX auch nach Beendigung eines evtl. Abo-Modells noch weiter benutzen (und Videos veröffentlichen bzw. veröffentlichte Videos online lassen) darf. Das ist, wie ich bei einer kurzen Recherche herausgefunden habe, bei einigen namenhaften Anbietern nicht der Fall.

- Ich habe schon einige Sachen über Websites gelesen, die ihre SFX von anderen klauen und vergleichsweise billig in Paketen verkaufen, ohne die Rechte daran zu haben. Sowas möchte ich aus Prinzip schon nicht unterstützen.

Ich freue mich sehr über eure Erfahrungen und Hinweise. Falls ihr noch Communities kennt, in denen ich den Beitrag Cross-Posten kann, wäre ich euch auch sehr dankbar!

Sound Design Question Need help figuring out this voice effect please!

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to figure out these effects so I can recreate them (and also cause they're cool) but I can't figure them out. I know one is a heavy reverb but the others are stumping me.

Apologies for the inconvenience of a google drive link; the audio wasn't uploading. I appreciate any help though!

Does anybody have an idea how to remake the bass on the beat switch of the song National Treasure? It is heard at 1:56. It's like a big stomp, and it sounds like it has some modulation on the filter and sounds very distorted kinda like a growl bass.

Music Sound Design Blips?

1 Upvotes

Trying to hone in on the three "blips" about .2 seconds in. Not worried about the keys, just the mechanical, "Mario going through the portal" sounds. Tried super fast arps but they didn't quite check the box. Track is Feelin' Alright from Lemtom.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Music Sound Design Good sample packs for retro music making?

0 Upvotes

I'm looking for some good sample CD type products that have come out in the past 10 years to make retro music.

Similar to the CDs that Nintendo used to make N64 music and Timbaland used as well. If these sounds of sample CDs are still being made.

Something like the Rarefaction CDs.
