Audien - Iris (Supersaw & Bass)
-
Some of these projects may be hard to find because I title my work horribly, so it may be difficult to give full details for some things but I'm pretty sure I have most of these projects.

Please share your design on the Iris supersaw. It's spot on.

I know all of the basics behind Audien supersaw design, but I still don't know how to get that tone to the supersaw that is Iris.

Granular synthesis can make some really cool pad/atmospheric sounds. Here is a good example, Virtual Riot playing with Pad Shop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZplcnQp5-to&t=129m30s

Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / Re: How do you stay motivated all the time?

I used to have issues with motivation/focus, but eventually I reached a point where it was rewarding enough for me to hardly want to ever stop producing. I stopped producing for 2 weeks and it felt like I was missing something and it felt like the longest wait in my life.

All of that is coming from a white noise layer? That's crazy. Also that's super cool of Johan.

Cool track.

WIPs / Re: Why do my leads sound so raw and not smooth?

Are you talking about the snappy transient noise? It's pretty typical for saw-based sounds to have a harsh high end, and if your filter modulation (pluck) is exposing those frequencies, it might add harshness. Also if you are closing the filter really quickly, it will probably exacerbate any harshness.

What I've done in the past to reduce this problem is some combination of:
 (a) decrease the cutoff frequency of the filter you're modulating
 (b) increase the decay time of the filter
 (c) soften the high end with EQ (& possibly add in noise to fill the frequency space you cut out, depending on the sound you want)
 (d) dial down any distortion/compression on the sound, if there is any contributing to the issue
 (e) change the waveform in the synth

I like this a lot. I'm going for a similar style.

I don't have any critique of the existing content, it's quite good.

I would maybe add atmosphere to the intro (as eidolon mentioned) and in the latter part where you have the repeated chords (1:55-2:30ish) I think vocal chops or some kind of additional melodies would be really good. I'm always just adding more and more melodic content til I cant fit anymore, though, haha.
