Sound Design / Re: Martin Garrix esque saw
« on: January 06, 2016, 10:25:00 pm »
Its nothing special, just a generic supersaw (most likely 3xOsc). If you understand the basics of a supersaw, then keep tweaking things to try and find the exact sound.

The only things I will add is that firstly, this supersaw sounds like it has a white noise top layer to give it some hiss. It's also very bright, so maybe EQ sweeping around the top end to see if a simple spike helps give you the sound.

With that Mat Zo track, it feels to me like a variation of a dubstep song. Beat is slightly more complex, but the synths are similar. When I say different, I mean REALLY different. Discovering a new colour different.

Mixing/Mastering / Re: Side-chain

Sidechain can be done in a few ways. The most common two are volume automation and compression. If it's done with compression, then the level of 'ducking' is controlled by all the knobs on a compressor: so attack, release, ratio and threshold.

In as small amount of words possible, Sidechain is the process of using the output of one track to control the action of a compressor on a completely different track.

In more Lehmann's terms, if you have something to trigger the sidechain (a kick, snare, synth, ANYTHING), whenever that trigger is hit/played, a compressor will affect another track.

For example, its most common usage is the kick/sub bass combo. A kick's main frequencies are between 80-120Hz (depending on the kick), and a sub bass is usually between 30-80Hz. Therefore, if both play at the same time you will have a clash. Usually it results in distortion, clipping, and all round shittyness. So, if you add a compressor to the sub bass, switch on the sidechain function, then make the kick drum the trigger, you will have the sub bass 'ducking' every time the kick hits. The sub bass will compress down (depending on the compressors settings) to make room for the kick so that there is no clash of frequencies.

There are plenty of other uses for it as well. E.g. reverb ducking on synths, pumping feeling, vibrato effect. I wont bore you with those though  ;)

No worries dude! Also, don't think that because you've submitted it you can't edit the song anymore! Make it a club banger!

Sound Design / Re: The Kick Designing Thread: Click, Punch, Thump!

Am I the only one that thinks tuning a kick (apart from big room or trap kicks) is pointless? Like, I understand the reason, but for me keeping the kick tuneless makes it just a punch, rather than another melody in a way

I second that. The drums sound fine, I dont think they're your issue

Has anyone got any tunes they know of that are completely unique to them? As in, you cannot think of a genre it would fit into and it's style is completely different to everything you've ever heard?

I'm a sucker for awesome originality yo

I'll just say I agree with everything else already, as Its already been said!

The only thing ill say could bring this to the next level is maybe focus on longer, more complex chord progressions. If you can get the 'feels' factor in to the downtempo parts of the track, you'll be onto something really really special. Really look forward to more of your stuff dude!

P.S. that bass beat got me movin yo! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

your intro chords make me feel some type of way  :'(

I second this. A couple of tears may have been shed...

I just can't not love a constant string high in the background. That shit my jam.
