I love remaking sounds. It's a fantastic exercise for improving your ear, creativity, and understanding of not only synths but processing as well. In this thread, post remakes you've done and are willing to explain how you did them to other people in the thread.


Remake 1: Plucks/Perc from "Sorry" - Justin Bieber

Remake 2: Plucks/Super Saws/Reverb Fx from Britannica
https://soundcloud.com/jhacs/britanica/s-dUvCg

(Was more of an exercise in making supersaws but I fell like it's worth sharing

Britannica is a great song! I love that supersaw, would be great to get some pointers. Was it all one synth or did you layer it?

Okay I'll break this down as much as I can. Feel free to ask me anything if it's unclear



The Pluck


Pretty basic design wise. Resonance gives the characteristic roundness to the pluck. I used soundgoodizer since it works. Why not right? If youre using something other than FL, it's just multiband compression


The Super Saws


It's all about the layers. I basically try to emulate Audien when I'm using supersaws which means Maserati GTi. To be honest, these are all to taste for the song. Layering is really specific to the notes youre playing and the sound you want.


Layer 1:   https://clyp.it/0jquhvbl


Layer 2: https://clyp.it/2oied3md


Layer 3: https://clyp.it/pfbo2diy
Same patch as the pluck just the filter is "open"

Layer 4: The piano. Typically what Audien does is include a multiband compressed piano as a layer that doesnt stand out but serves basically 2 roles: Adding transients to the saw and filling up space in the freq. This piano doesnt really do the second that much but i dont think it really needs to. Again, this is to taste.

The Bass

The Reverb

Route your say layers to your master and then to a second channel. This is going to be your reverb channel. What ever reverb you're using, set it to 100% wet, high pass it, and then create an automation clip. You can see my clip in the middle of the first picture. Automating the volume of the reverb gives that sweeping effect that's pretty common in a lot of tracks (Mat uses it in Bipolar)





Some other examples of super saws I've made with the sample plugins/thought process

Some of these projects may be hard to find because I title my work horribly, so it may be difficult to give full details for some things but I'm pretty sure I have most of these projects.

Omg yooo Murtagh. How do you get your slap bass noises like in Outbreak? (or the slap bass-ish noise in the drop of My Nostalgia is a Curse)
