Samples/Plugins/Software/Gear / Best Rhodes VSTi?

Haven't found a decent Rhodes vst that has the warmth and smoothness I'm looking for.

Sound Design / Re: The "How do I make this sound?" thread
« on: January 06, 2016, 01:06:01 pm »Actually, I'm pretty sure they moved to Ableton fairly recently!I suck at sound design... How do I make this bass? https://youtu.be/XkWkHX2TNp4?t=1m8s
KOAN Sound use reason, but pretty much no one else does (HeRobust does too) so I don't know exactly how. But standard reese techniques involve:
1. Cool waveform (usually detuned saw)
2. lots of notch filter movement, bandpass movement, volume movement.
3. EQ shaping
4. chorus, short reverb
5. parallel distortion, parallel saturation, multiband distortion, multiband saturation
6. compression
7. perhaps repeat #2
I think so as well, though I would think they also rewire Reason to use the Maelström synth. It's their favorite synth for bass sounds iirc

It's definitely not just your headphones! And yeah, that clapsnare is giving me some trouble. I want it to really cut through the mix without it being too loud, and still keep the dynamics of it. I can't seem to lower the volume without taking away the.. "smack" or punch of it. Any advice?
Thank you!
I'd say layer it with a cleaner future snare or something and then mix them IMO
I'll try it out and see how it goes. Thanks

« on: January 06, 2016, 03:01:29 am »really really chill stuff here. Loving the percussive elements and overall chill flow to it. I think that right now it feels like background tracking, and could use a bit more melodic elements that break up the chord progression to really hold a listener. mixing sounds alright but you dont really have too much going on maybe the clap is a bit loud compared to the dynamic range of the harp
I agree, I am working on putting together some melodic elements to fill out the gaps. And you're right about the clap/harp mixing. Thank you for the feedback!

I'm working on an EP based on Norwegian folkloric creatures. I'm just looking for feedback on this one downtempo-ish track I'm working on atm. It is based on a creature called 'Nøkken'.
The intro and bridge are really just placeholders for general ideas, and I'm gonna make the track more atmospheric and soundscape-y. Also gonna change the hats and make the drums in general a bit more interesting.
Other than that I would appreciate your guys' feedback!

I would just scratch the VIP and make the idea you have there the second drop of the original. The original is a little repetitive and some variation could be good as to keep listeners interested. The VIP doesn't really differ too much from the original, so if you just combine them in to one track with different drops that would solve both problems at once!
Also, I would add some "glitter" to it. Small details that just happens once or twice in the whole track. It seems you're going for somewhat of a minimalist feel to the track so don't overdo it; just a little sound effect here and there to make it unique.
