Anyone have any vsts or effects tips for a good white noise? Looking for white noise for drums, risers, and with synths. Any white noise I make I think sounds like shit.

Tips and help will always be appreciated!

Thank you!

Any source of true white noise will sound the same as any other source. But generally white noise in EDM tracks isn't really white noise -- it's filtered to sound better. You almost always want to take some of the lows out (maybe cut at 200Hz?) and some of the highs (8K?).  Depends on what you're using it for, but for example with risers I run them through an EQ to high-pass at 200Hz, then a filter that sweeps from 200Hz to somewhere around 6-8K at its peak.

It's also highly dependent on what you're mixing it with. White noise layered with a snare should only include frequencies the snare doesn't already have. Sometimes I mix a bit of noise with a pad, and in that case I usually use a bandpass filter to only let a certain range through.

I'm just here to complain about how important white noise is and how hard it is to get right.

So you got tips to get it right? I'm mainly thinking white noise for house drum loops. Jafeel?

Dyro offers up a really cool whitenoise trick here when it comes to layering with your synths:

as far as using whitenoise for risers and what not.....its just a case of using filter automations really to create those builds and drops. You can also layer whitenoise waves on top of other waves to create these drops .....then automate your filters or pitch envelopes.

pretty much everytime you make a white noise you need to tame it, especially in the high end. I like to smooth it off with EQ - cutting out the lows and the super sharp high frequencies - I often also put a phaser on it - mess around with the phaser settings and it can help tame abit of the sharpness.
more often than not......people simply have the whitenoise too loud. just turn it way down and get it sitting in your mix instead of loud and dominating the mix.
