I felt in love with this track as soon as i heard it, anyone got any ideas on how that chord synth in the drop was made? and what the bass too maybe?

to me it sounds like strings layered with a bit of saw and a bit of noise. I got a similar sound by layering a saw wave & a string section sample and then playing a nice pretty 7th chord. you can use an auto pan with amt 100% rate 1/16 phase 360 and shape 63.5% to get the gate effect.

and then to get the slidey effect you can go up on the pitch bend

bit of chorus/reverb/eq at the end and you're pretty close! ST probably spent a lot of time processing trying to get those chords to sound just right so be prepared to do the same

A Serbian song (a friend sent it to me)
1:18 the sound starts i remember i saw a tutorial on how to make that sounds but i forgot I'm a noob at producing

it's called a pad, try looking up some tutorials on how to make those on youtube

I would like to know how they did the chord synth that is playing throughout the track. It sounds so fucking good.

such a good record. sounds a lot like a saw chord but then pitched down. try using abletons vocoder effect on a saw wave chord, set the carrier to modulator and turn down the formant. also sounds like its got some reverb on it with a really small room. Also try putting some TAL chorus on it, one of my new favorite plugs https://tal-software.com/products/tal-chorus-lx

One of my favourite artists at this stage of my life right now are Puppet and Tristam. I really want to learn making Puppet's orchestral-ish vocals and how to bass out like Tristam but like, HOW THE HECK DO I DO THAT ?!11!!1!

[Edit] My friend told me that a way I could make Puppet's orchestral-ish vocals sample is by just adding lots of reverb but the fact that he uses Ableton Live doesn't really help. Any hopes here?

Reference link?

i would appreciate it if one of you guys would take a quick listen to the part at 1:19 and 1:22 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IEitgarxfg where the synths pitch lowers and abruptly silences. im trying to recreate this effect in sylenth and I think its just automation of the pitch bend wheel. im pretty sure there are multiple ways to achieve this effect (automation of the pitchbend wheel being one of them) but was wondering if anyone knew any other way to emulate this effect? thanks in advance

sounds like a tape stop trigger to me (pitch and tempo decrease simultaneously). check out dBlue's website for the free TapeStop plugin, its a quick and easy solution to achieving that sound.

What in the world is this lead sound in 'The Thrill' by Nero? I know it's heavily processed and distorted, but what synth did they likely use?

How do I make the higher Pluck synth at 0:52? https://soundcloud.com/elysianrecords/party-thieves-lazy-boyz-no-gravity

This is what I've got so far https://soundcloud.com/mindlessnl/test2/s-8mfk2

I'm looking for ways to make liquidy/grimy machine sounds like at the 2:10 mark in Phonat's remix of Need Your Love by Andrew Bayer.

Any ideas?

I would try processing some percussion samples to start. Sounds like you could get a similar sound running drum samples through Serum with the Hyper/Dimension effect or through a vocoder

Hmm, that's a great idea to run percussion samples through serum.. the noise oscilator might even be a good option.. thanks!

Would it be possible if anyone can advise me on how I can make the smooth saw wave like the one from 0:02 - 0:05 from WRLD - Awake?

help appreciated

i used sylenth for this one. my remake has 3 osc; a saw (3 voice, low detune), white noise (1 voice) and a sine (1 voice). retrig is off on all of them. i turned on the low pass filter for both parts more so for the drive aspect than cutting out any frequencies. in the envelope tab i turned on Pitch AB and left the ADSR as is except for adding a tiny bit of decay (adds a bit of attack to the sound). in the lfo tab, lfo 1 is modulating Pitch AB; rate (1/16), gain (0.10), rotary knob (1.86). i enabled mono/legato mode in order to allow the notes to glide (6-7 for portamento time). the last thing i added within sylenth was a bit of chorus.

as far as external processing goes: i eq'ed the low end out, compressed a bit, added distortion, bitcrushed, and added reverb.
the bitcrusher is only effecting the high end of the sound at around the 24k region.

here's what i managed to get. it's not perfect but hopefully it points you in the right direction!
