Hi guys, I’m asking specifically about that background ambiant come and go wave sound, I was wondering what is the overall strategy to making a sound with that wide, electric ambiant feel? I really like how every wave has a little transient to it and adds impact but it’s soft and I’m not sure how to reproduce it. Anything helps. Thank you sm for any help

Hi everyone ! I got some question about a bassline sound design in a song I like :

TWIN SOULS - I HATE MODELS

https://on.soundcloud.com/EMsBLspI7V3H0zLLPP

the bassline I'm talking about appears at ~2:50

I got some base idea with saw waves, a bit of distortion, and maybe layering but I cannot manage to have at least a "similar" result

So :

- How can i basically made this in serum 2 or in a wave table in ableton ( I got ableton live 12 suite ) ?

- Is there any syth vst that can naturally make that kind of bass ?

- is that bassline layered ?

- I guess there is overdrive, or some kind of lamp Amp distortion on it, any other sound design element ?

Thanks a lot all ! hope y'all Have a great day !

Hello everyone,

Any tips on creating this floaty pad sound.. doesn't sound like a tonal chord as much as a resonant noise sound if that makes sense

Big fan of oli xl specially their earlier album. So many beautiful, futuristic sounds. Here is an example of this one

Any tips appreciated.

I'm curious on how to replicate the sound of the synth used in this song (specifically after the guitars stop around 30 seconds in). I've read online they use guitar synth pedals, but can it be replicated using a synth plugin? I tried messing around with the ones I have available in FL studio, but I wasn't able to achieve that sound. I'm pretty new to this so any tips would be appreciated.

Hi, for a wedding I'm doing a song parody of I Just Had Sex by The Lonely Island. We are doing a full band cover, but we would like to have a backing track of just the synth stabs. I am trying to recreate the synth sound on Vital but I'm having a hard time. Mostly because I am quite new to this, and I feel like I don't have the correct terms in my head.

I would describe the synth as plucky chord hits, with a lot of reverb.

Could someone help with either recreating the synth (approximately), or help with finding the correct terms so I can look into the subjects of creating those kind of sounds?

The Synth is prominent from the first second of the song:

I’ve reacquainted myself with this incredible song. I used to listen to it back in the late 70s and I always wondered how they got that haunting, faint synth sound weaving along in the background. it’s particularly evident in the outro. can anyone identify how that sound is achieved?

asking how I can recreate the synth sound panned hard to the left at around 1:16. It's sort of plucky and when It goes up in pitch there's a sort of automation going on where the higher the pitch the more frequent the sound repeats itself? and less frequent when it drops again in pitch. I don't really know how to describe it that well

The drop around 2:01 that super vibrant saw synth lead, looking for songs that have that similar feel. Another sing I like is I Can't Stop by Flux Pavilion that has an almost similar saw.

Thanks!

Looking for the bass and lead at 0:08 all help is appreciated.

Played a windchime into a mod-synth. Comments welcome 😊

I'm trying to make some growls but I don't think I quite understand the fundamentals of how they are made. Here are some examples of the growls I'd like to try and create a version of:

https://youtu.be/Vx5EPfdMEL4?si=tOqK_cNK6UmRZkZM at the drop at 1:30 (several growls)
https://youtu.be/aEdiWFHTD48?si=XGThQarrcRgzZjKN one growl at 0:47
https://youtu.be/iC2-etZC190?si=XH39RDkW9DwA9bXU growls at the drop at 1:57

I've exhausted pretty much every tutorial on youtube but I just can't seem to to get em right. The ones I've made so far are too noisy and not clear at all, and the formant filters I try to put on them are only somewhat impactful.

Hello guys, just discovered this sub. I'm pretty much new to sound design and don't have a lot of knowledge.

Trying to create a sound similar to the synth in the beginning of the track Decompression by Harrison BDP. I have the movement and modulation pretty close but I can't get the sound right..

How would you describe/name this sound? Trying not to directly ask for a recipe but rather some place to start doing my own research but I don't even know where to begin.

Edit: I use FL Studio and I'm trying to create this in the free version of Vital.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

https://youtu.be/GNsXUj7My5E?t=160&si=THVWuHSCM1g9O-2p The effect is at 2:43 in case the timestamp doesn’t work. It seems C418 did this all synthetically, but does that sound like a distorted electric guitar? I’m working on a short film project, and I’d love to reproduce the sound somehow.

Also, bonus, a similar sound is heard in the first part of this Memento soundtrack - https://youtu.be/xR2AXgNJY3M?t=11&si=USerQXCM8QB3e5G9 . I think this one is a real sound effect opposed to synthesized, but I’m still curious as to how it was achieved.

Any help, advice, or leads would be great. Thanks!

Two recordings at slightly different synthesizer oscillator frequency settings in surround then processed together through the ''spatial'' of a special place for the acoustics.

About the synthesis, I used Native instruments Absynth 5 for its amazing control over hz incrimentation.

I use 2 or 3 oscillators that are routed each to their own LFO with the duty to diminish the vol gently over a specified time and to do so over again in cycles.

Other functions for each were given to the LFOs, depending on what suited each OSC best.

The result gives an audible sense of movement and direction.

☆ Hello there :) ★

recently i got into producing opium music and my main inspiration for this is the artist ANGUISH although they mostly produce other stuff

aaand i was wondering if maybe anyone could tell me or give me some hints on how i could reproduce the lead sound from this song cause i think it sound awrsome and id like to implement something similar in my own music (the lead starts at 0:10)

ill be thankful for every bit of advice any of you could give me

⟡thanks in advance and have a nice day :)

i really like the leads and i wanna use em
i can’t really describe it it’s high pitched though in dracs and switches and thors is just odd

thor - 0:14-0:27
dracs and switches 2 - 0:02-throughout the song.

(Song name - Swerve, artist - Juice Wrld, sound in question arp starts at the beginning of song,) So I was wondering if anyone knew how I could make the arp in the song swerve it sounds really spacey and like it’s getting farther away the more you listen almost like a black hole is sucking it in, Sounds like this it’s at the start of the song as soon as it comes on even if you know the preset that would be very helpful thanks

Has anyone experimented with pink noise brainwave entrainment to induce deep restorative rest states? Steady pink noise contains equal energy per octave like natural sounds. When introduced to the auditory cortex, it forces electroencephalogram signals to drop in fractal complexity causing brain waves to synchronize with the noise induction.

0:37 How can I recreate the main pad from this song?

Thanks

The sound that starts right after the kick, it’s like a loop repeating over and over again throughout the song and i wanna know how to create a sound like this and what type of sound it is. i’m thinking it’s a lead …

I know that this sound is a classic synth preset from the EWI (electronic wind instrument) but I want to know how it can be recreated in vital because it's the only synth VST I have
