How would you make the funny lead bell/kalimba thing you hear in this song at 1:17

Hello! Got a question about the bass in this track;
Miike Snow - Silvia (Sebastian Ingrosso & Dirty South Remix)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny6qQxVlrus&feature=youtu.be&t=60

The bass seems so...woody? How is this synthesized? It sounds woody and hallow-ish yet full,tried to recreate it using various recipes but nothing has worked out they way I want to!

Bonus question: Is anyone able to figure out the bass movement/progression? I know that the track is in Gmin but I haven't been able to recreate the bass pattern,it seems so groovy and moving yet it sounds like a simple progression....going nuts!

HELP! How do I create this awesome trance groove?

I've spent hours trying to reproduce a cool sample based groove like this:

https://youtu.be/MS7nGso2BD0?t=73

Does anyone know how they do this? Is there some trick I am missing? To me it sounds like extremely well placed samples in time... Also, are they making these samples or is there a library of cool trance samples? I've heard this in other songs as well.

Someone should take a crack at this one. :)

drop @ ~1:40

How do you make his vowel sounds? I can get close to this in Massive with double bandpasses and automation, but there are always background harmonics/noise so it isn't clean.

Thanks :)

This Virtual Riot tutorial on Serum is a good place to start. He hangs around with Must Die and I'm pretty confident both of them are using Serum much more frequently nowadays! A lot of the information on filter automation and effects processing can be applied to massive as well.

How do I make the synths in this drop?!?!

https://soundcloud.com/grantbowtie/odesza-say-my-name-feat-zyra-grant-bowtie-remix

it's literally the only song that I've ever heard like that.
I make really spacey future stuff. Under my new project, Indus, I have not released anything yet. But when I do, it'll be at https://soundcloud.com/gonewiththestars

Well, I dont really know how to make that exact sounds but trance acids are pretty much saw/square waves with a ton of distortion, chorus, delay and reverb (you can also add white noise if you want). Then play cutoff and ressonance using a high pass or band pass filter and that's it. Ez to make using sylenth

I want to do a remix/remake of Olmec Heads - Spiritualised and could use some pointers on how to make the sound that starts where that clip does. Hopefully pretty straightforward, cheers peeps

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