What's your favorite type of natural sounding riser?
« on: January 09, 2016, 11:53:41 pm »
I'm not talking about your average fake, electronic-sounding white noise risers or anything of the like. I want to know your favorite ways to bring your track up right before some sort of climax happens. Something unorthodox. I like really natural, foley sounding ones.

Crowd noises. Volume automating a crowd cheering instead of white noise.

Reverse reverb from location recordings (EG industrial doors slamming or metal trash cans being dropped onto concrete)

1. tom/hat/rendered pluck through a granular synth, then done like that SHM song
2. crash reverbed, rendered, add another reverb on that rendered. then something like eq automation+stereo imager
3. just a square/saw pitched hehe

Vocal chops or a word that gets repeated faster and faster

With enough processing you can get a Massive white noise LFO sound pretty good. I personally think massive is easier to use in this case, just turn off oscillators, turn on your white noise, turn the LFO to whatever ratio you want it in, put it in the white noise, and program the massive lowpass filter to the white noise too. With this, you can automate the filter and even bring in a macro which you could also automate to your liking (that's what I do.) That's basic, but with enough layers, reverb, eq, and other processing, you can make it sound really personalized and original! Personally, I like to mess around with Logic's EnVerb with this kind of stuff.

Any other element of the track heavily distorted and volume automated.

Reversed noises with reverb usually sound good to me personally, either in the foreground or background
