Does anybody know what kind of drum machine Prince used in "When Doves Cry"? Specifically I am interested in the source of that sharp tock/clack sound that's around the 2 and 4 beat of the rhythm.

Am I even getting anywhere near good with this, I didn't think some of it was bad but my friend I bounce my music off of said it was weak as poo poo. The mix is terrible as are the drums, I just need some feedback on the main wobble sound.

I think it needs a filter of some kind on it. I would maybe run it thru a wah pedal or emulation in amplitube or something. It needs grime and filth I think.

Hey Yoozer, I know you used to have an Ion... do you have any tips for programming that synth specifically? Like, things that might be unique to it that will help me get interesting sounds, or parts of the interface I should just mess around with? Sorry for the vague/lame question but hopefully you get an idea of what I'm talking about.

Any idea how to create the bell sound that plays throughout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOZOa9UPMgI ? I honestly have no idea.

stun runner posted:Hey Yoozer, I know you used to have an Ion... do you have any tips for programming that synth specifically? Here's a grab bag. - analog drift to 10-20% is always good. - 90% of all factory patches uses the Moog 24 LP. Replace it; for dirt, try the ARP filter (RP). For pad sounds, use the Oberheim (OB) LP. - there's a compressor that's generally ignored because it's in the upper right corner. It can make sounds ridiculously snappy - there's also a tube distortion simulation on-board, which is reasonably OK - don't even bother with the on-board effects except for the phaser: get yourself a nice external reverb + multi-effects (Lexicon MX200 / TC M300/350) and things will start to shine. - for typical Juno-pulsewaves, set the PWM to 45%. - for percussive sounds, change the shapes of the envelopes; setting them to exponential, negative makes them snappy if you want short blips and clicks. - make yourself a few init patches that have no slots in the modulation matrix filled up and start with a single oscillator routed to a single filter (serial, not parallel). Dual filters are for more advanced usage. - when you start with dual filters, set both of 'm to bandpass, each being controlled by their separate LFOs (at low speed). You'll get a nice phasing sound SynthesizerKaiser posted:Any idea how to create the bell sound that plays throughout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOZOa9UPMgI ? I honestly have no idea. quote:Edit to add: How long does it usually take you to figure out how to make a sound, Yoozer? Seems like you generally know what's behind a sound when you first listen to it. Here's my modus operandi which I'll rewrite in detail so I can publish it: I mainly start with a simple subtractive synthesizer (like Synth1 or Reason's Thor - the latter allowing me some modulation tricks that Synth1 doesn't do). Both are easy to take screenshots of, which saves me the trouble of saving patches, and since I only have the demo version of Reason, it allows me to "save" patches in the first place. Sound has 3 properties - pitch, timbre and volume. The easiest to determine is volume; I listen if the sound has a short or long attack/decay and adjust the volume envelopes so that part of the sound is matched. You could even open up the waveform of a single note in a wave editor like Sound Forge or Audacity and just redraw the curve from that. I try to envision the sound without any effects; a lot of the perceived "snappiness" of a sound that is hard to do with envelopes can be done with a simple compressor, or it becomes a lot easier if you have envelopes that allow you to set the curves - linear, exponential positive/negative (like on the DX7). Timbre is determined by the waveforms and the filter, and you rarely hear a sound that's not treated with an EQ. It's just that the expectation of the people on forums who I help often is that you are supposed to get everything from a single plugin or synthesizer instead of realizing that these things rarely do their job alone; they're usually willing to buy (and mostly download via less legal means) a plugin just because it contains a magical preset or so. I simply spent a long time listening to 2 or 3 oscillators, each with different waveforms, volumes and tuning so I can recognize what the basis of the sound is when you remove the filter part; it's just "dumb" exercise and cramming the results of what you hear in your head. This covers a lot of sounds used in dance music; for evolving pads, the recreation is trickier but not impossible. For that, I simply use the principles of the JV sound modules or the Wavestation. These offer you 4 "parrts" (tones, elements, whatever they invented) which are basically single-oscillator synthesizers, each with their own pitch, filter, volume and modulation parameters. The difference is of course that you can't do inter-oscillator modulation like sync, ringmod or FM. By deconstructing the sound to parts like the bass, treble and high frequencies, it becomes easier to reconstruct/emulate. Just by putting an LFO on each of these parts that controls the volume and then putting the LFO phase and speed out of sync, you get great, evolving sounds that don't seem to repeat themselves.

How can I get a heavy electro synth sound? Perfect example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPHqf9qw-GU#t=1m14s From what I hear, the synth is acting as the lead and the bass at once, then the drums and vocal effect in the background. But I can't seem to get one that sounds like that or close to it.

(I may have asked this before.) Anyone happen to know what synth Andy Moor likes to use? I know it's difficult to say precisely which one, since they all tend to sound quite similar. Really what I want is to recreate the arp from Love Story, which appears at roughly 3:10 and later at 6:47 in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90EiLwtnwyI&fmt=18 (Click the link regardless of whether you can help me with sound design, it's a great track and in HQ!)

Generously use a synched delay to make it appear that there are more notes than you play. KaosPV posted:I guess this is something simple and maybe Yoozer will smack my head for not having learnt such basics yet...  I only smack people's heads verbally when they say they want to buy a new synthesizer or plugin because their previous one ran out of usable preset sounds  Set both oscillators to saw wave, detune one of 'm just 1 or 2 cents at most (that's what causes the slightly flanging effect) - no semitone or octave detune needed. Add a subtle distortion/overdrive to give it a little more zest. You should be able to do this with Synth1 (or equivalent) already.

What's the ideal method for extracting vocals and then cutting them up? I'm not trying to do some of that silly WinAmp plugin thing where it makes songs sound like they're instrumentals, but rather, I just want to keep the vocal for a song and mix the music out. On a similar note, how do the Boogie Pimps cut up their vocal samples in such a musical way? (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgdsLaODLsw for a good example) Would loading a chopped Dr.REX sample into Reason and then triggering slices via MIDI work? I realize this question is pretty simple given that it's hardly an unusual effect, but I've never successfully duplicated it.

It's because you cut not based on time but on phrase/word (MPC1000 + DJ filter on Nord Modular). Not saying that it's musical, but it works better than using strict 1/8 or 1/16 portions.

The first one just has an odd chord, the second one's probably doable when you play a chord with a regular piano patch, transpose it two octaves up, and use EQing to give it a bump. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r1h2XmWXBI

2:49 is the ORCHESTRA HIT, a 90's holy-poo poo-samplers favorite. You can hear it around 00:19 in this youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEbXLXe5Yls 2:39 is either a sampled electric guitar or an extremely crunchy distorted synth.

The first one is your standard 80's industrial FM bass. I don't know how to program FM because you need to do all these weird math tables so I would probably just find one in the presets. It's a pretty famous FM sound. The second one sounds like pan pipes, either FM synthesized or sampled with a bunch of long reverb on them.

Crossposted from the "Trivial Questions" thread because I thought this thread was deceased and I'm a loving moron: I'm trying to write a ridiculous pop song on a dare, and to see if I can do it, but I'm looking for a specific synth sound and I'm having a hell of a time finding the right one. I'm looking for the pad/chord sound under the verses in T-Pain's "Buy U A Drank". I know that the plucky melody thing at the beginning is in FM7/FM8 (specifically, the preset "Exciting), and I know that T-Pain is also a big Logic user, but I have both and I have no idea where to start looking. Can anyone help me ID this sound?

From the instrumental I found on Youtube it's a supersaw with a vocal/formant filter over it. Try Reason's Thor - use a single Multi Oscillator through the Formant filter and you're pretty close, the rest is automation/tweaking. Could also be a talkbox, but the typical Zapp sound is not a supersaw but a single, saw-like waveform with some extras.

These guys: http://www.myspace.com/groupet They are awesome, their last album is a tribute to Front 242 and they manage to get that old school EBM sound updated. I'm not that much of a fan of those bands supposedly doing old school EBM like Spetsnaz and stuff like that, to me they don't sound like the real stuff, but these guys nail it. I'd like tips on how to get the sound of their bass on "Free fire zone" and specially for Strange days, specifically the bass that kicks around 0:15 (it's loving Nitzerian). I know that they work fully on software. Thanks in advance guys. EDIT: btw I'm working on Ableton.
