The sound in question is featured on "Mesmerize", performed by Ja Rule and Ashanti. It sounds like they recorded a fly getting caught in one of those electric bug killers. And then they slowed it down. Just listen to it, you'll know what I mean http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2px8k_ja-rule-mesmerize_music It really stands out, which is kind of funny because it has little rhythmic quality nor does it sound in harmony with anything. That's not really true though, because at one point it overlaps with Ashantis chorus and that sounds really beautiful.

Piling on the requests: I'm new to electronic music making, just started messing around with Fruity loops. I've read through this thread on things about sine waves, etc. and I'd like to practice a bit by recreating the sound that begins and plays throughout Backdrifts (radiohead): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP8_hUXgK_U Anyone know how to help?

Alright, after reversing that intro, I can hear that it's a sort of plucked string sound (short decay on the amp envelope, no attack, no sustain). Depending on whether you want to record and reverse it, you could make it a short attack and no decay or sustain  Make sure you play around with panning (assign to velocity?), white noise, reverb and stuff.

How do you replicate the non-clavinet keyboard? And, let alone from replicating it, what the hell instrument is actually making the sound? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lu81z2E6pE

A MIRACLE posted:Request: The Sebastien Tellier Sexuality Synth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIy9bk3Ldqw It's a load of saw waves, and also, the left channel is the inverse of the right, but delayed a few milliseconds so they don't cancel each other out entirely. Start with a saw, a second saw an octave up, and mess around with oscillator detuning and unison until you find something you like. There's very little filtering/EQing as far as I can tell. Add a little reverb to taste.

Huh...swore I posted this earlier tonight but must've closed the tab by accident as it was submitting or something. Anyways, Trying to figure out how to make the glassy pad dealies that come in at 1:09. Tried and tried and can't fuckin figure it out. Not just the phaser that makes it as far as I know, its beyond that. Thinking maybe a notch filter does it after using one earlier today and getting something in the ballbark but I really don't know.

1.09 in what? What are you using to make it? Glassy pads are generally sample-based stuff or FM.

What instrument is Mastodon using at in the intro of "Divinations"? It sounds like a banjo, but when they play it live I don't see a banjo player. If it is a guitar, how I can make a guitar sound like that? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_Yxa2hZqLo

Try noise with a lowpass filter, set resonance halfway, set envelope > filter around halfway depending on filter character, and give the filter envelope a 0 7 0 0 shape (assuming ADSR and 10 as maximum). Set the volume envelope to something similar, and put a chorus on it for the swirly effect.

I'm trying to be an idiot and recreate some of the drum fills at a million bpm of Atari Teenage Riot-esque stuff using Reason. I'm pretty new to this- I know Abelton has Beat Repeat that can do something similar. :38 seconds in or so - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShiCv4RZdWU Hugs.

That's not beat repeat, that's filling an entire pattern of ReDrum with kickdrums. What you're hearing is a plain Roland TR-909 kit (it should be in the library somewhere, if not, get the one here) Throw the Scream distortion over it and you'll be good.

They're completely separate sounds. The first is synth strings with one oscillator one octave higher than the other (most likely both saw waves, filter cutoff turned down to take the edge off), but with an 80/20 mix for the lowest; add LFO to pitch at relatively high speed and play the chord.

Yeah, I was about to type that down and then was called away to prepare dinner  . The second is a plain synth string sound like you'd find on a Juno-60 or JX3P playing D2-A1-D1-A1-D2-A2-A2. It's in that sense typical because I've always had a tough time getting sounds like those simple synths out of more expensive and/or complicated machines; I blame it on the on-board chorus that mellows things out a bit.Anyway, again two oscillators, saw wave, second one very slightly detuned (but no semitones or octaves, just cents), and an old-fashioned chorus (think Boss pedal) over it. See also http://www.synthmania.com/jx-3p.htm (first preset in the list - wait a bit for the demo to play the higher notes) However, listening some more suggests that they've resampled the synths and sounds and play them back at double speed or something. The very sudden cutoff of some of the sounds like the one around 0:24/0:25 gives me that idea. It's mostly the playing that makes it bubble like that.

problem solved hey yall, i could use some help. Is there any reason, with this thor setup, that only oscillator 1 should be making noise? If I turn osc 1 off and press a key no sound comes out of oscillator 2. i've tried anything i can think of, but i'm sure it's something stupidly simple. help!

theflyingexecutive posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0aBh9PiW6w Thanks, that saved me a lot of wading. Anyway, the first thing to realize is that this is not a single sound. Let's dissect! We can recognize the following elements: - 3 noises (one at 0:025, one at 0:06, one at 0:08). - 1 blip - 1 "waterfall" - 1 background pad sound The background pad reeks suspiciously of someone playing Fmaj7 with a Bb as bass, Em7 (which you hear at the end at 0:09) , and could probably be done with either an FM synth or wavetable synth, choosing a glassy, bell-like pad. Perhaps there's a preset like that in Crystal. The waterfall is a bit trickier, but it could be as simple as someone playing a pentatonic scale in F major. Just hit key transpose and move your hands over the black keys, using a simple sinewave with long release, no filter as the source sound. The blip occurs at 0:08 and could simply be the waterfall sound, sampled, and pitched up 2 octaves or something, at soft volume. Wind chimes may work good for this, too. The 3 noises: I think you can do the first by using a cymbal sample and pitching that down, and setting the decay time low so it dies off faster. The second is lowpass filtered noise with a bit of resonance to create the "inhale" effect, and the last is bandpassed noise with no resonance to create the "exhale" effect. Combine this, make sure you get the timing right, and experiment, experiment, experiment until it's done.
