Sound Design / Figured out my last post here: How to make a punchy human sounding snare roll
« on: October 21, 2016, 04:39:47 am »
I used kontakt as a sampler for my snare sample, dragged it into the initial window and layered it with some other snare sampled, cropped and faded the snare layers as needed in kontakt, volume balanced in kontakt and then put a drum script on each one using contacts drum scripts which gives it a human touch and then adjusted the lower frequency cut up slightly as the roll progressed and the higher frequency cut slightly lower in my EQ plugin.  Kontakt is the shit I didn't realize it could be used as a sampler like that! Lets you sculpt every aspect


Then add Logics Overdrive or something similar

That's the price you pay for using a drum machine.

You're going to get a more singular sound, despite velocity hits, unless you emulate what is happening to the snare drum.

The best way is to record your own snare hit, but that comes with it's own opportunity costs.



Study a snare drum (and all drum components if you will) further and deeper. Talk to a drummer about the nuanced details in playing the drums.

You might get some ideas on how to better program your drums and apply automation to settings, if you drum machine/program utilizes parameters that are more performance based


I FIGURED IT OUT!!

I'm struggling making one that stays punchy and balanced and doesn't sound too robotic, it usually starts to sound washed out by the time it hits 32nd notes, doesn't matter what my snare drum sounds like they all seem to do it. I've tried using straight audio samples, kontakt as a sampler, EQ filtering etc. Is there a technique that humanized without me manually adjusting the velocity of each note? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!

I'm producing progressive house/trance snare roll style wise

Sound Design / Re: What sort of (plate?) reverb settings to I use in really gritty trance mid bass?

you might have some subtle transient existing in the bass patch or bass group.

If you want gritty reverb, i suggest you distort your reverb and tame it with EQ accordingly and stereo width control.

Worked nicely, glued some of the high gritty frequencies that were too present in the mix into the body of the sound. Thanks man

the arts acoustic reverb is a favourite right now with trance producers

Oooooomg fucking thank you so much more control over the reverb tail and presence than Valhalla

Sound Design / FX chain recommendations on vocals please! First full vocal track, Prog Trance
« on: October 11, 2016, 12:43:21 am »
Hey guys, having difficulty getting clear airy trance vocals, this is my first attempt at a full vocal track. I have a wicked high quality acapella I found but it seems to get muddied in the chords even after EQing, sparingly used reverb, parallel compression etc.

What FX chain do you put on your vocal bus or vocal tracks!

Also looking for a possible FX chain list for Wide powerful chords, strong present leads as well if you got them

My style is similar to Ilan Bluestone or any of the harder Anjunabeats artists

I've been playing around with it all day, the Valhalla plate reverb seems to add a click post bass note even after playing with the note release settings, any suggestions?

separate it in a new track and control it with the volume fader and EQ.


Also, not sure what you're trying to get out of it, given your description.

I'm trying to layer it so it fit in with my supersaws in a smooth yet noticeable manner, like not a lot of hiss

Sound Design / EQing in white noise with supersaw chords, advice?
« on: September 28, 2016, 01:20:13 am »
Hey guys, so I have about 4-5 layers of different synths EQ'd to fit together and they sound great, but once I try to add white noise to it the white noise sounds narrow and punches even though I've used dimension expander, experimented with reverbs, chorus, delays, sends etc and it doesn't get better

Please help!

Sound Design / Snare buildup help please, unable to get level of clarity in Amun - Ilan/Ross
« on: September 28, 2016, 12:26:53 am »
https://youtu.be/FFrvXPdjAr8?t=1m45s
The snare buildup in Amun is awesome and I want to learn how to make mine clean like this, I'm close but it doesnt sound tight I've tried using snare samples on an audio track and with an arpeggiator with automation but both don't sound clean like this. Tried lots of samples with different aspects and still same result. Help please

So I am using EQ cuts and volume adjustments, any other tips using sends compression or stereoization etc? Maybe certain plugins?
Having trouble making it all sound like one big sound without losing dynamic range
