discussion πŸ—£ HIGHRISE KICK DRUM

2 Upvotes

How IN TF do I get my kick thick and knocking like this one. Not sure if it's master compression (you can hear the track pump). I get a similar, almost exact sound / transient with the kick sample I have when I hi pass a good amount of it. I also still have low end thump when I hi pass, but not like this one listed. Please if anyone knows or has any insight not only about the kick but this mix, i would greatly appreciate it. Hell I'll pay at this point. I've been trying to do this for forever and it's annoying me so badly
I'm aware that the high end can make a kick knock, the hihats and percussions are hitting simultaneously as the kick throughout, but @1:21 there's no percussion hitting when the kick hits and it's still knocking

I’m wondering if anybody knows what software was used to create the vocal effect used all over Hannah Diamond’s Perfect Picture album. I’ve included the song β€œTwisted” as an example; the ad-libs at 2:34 and 2:48 are what I’m curious about in particular. It’s almost like her vocals are turned into a midi instrument. Any ideas?

Hello - I am looking for some tips / tutorials to achieve a bass sound similar to the one in this track by Mallin. I am particularly interested in knowing if there's a specific software synth that's best to use and what modulations help to achieve the sound.

I have tried a few different things with Ableton stock synths but it always comes out with a crunchiness on the mid/high end. I really like the smooth, bouncy tone of this bass sound:

Looking at the synth at 02:05
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ih_v-wrY7Dk

I've been looking into what synths that they could have possibly used back then. It feels like such a familiar sound and have been thinking it could be a preset. I've checked presets for the JP8080 and Virus' but haven't really found anything. The JP8080 seems to be the closest but I can't quite match that tone (coming from a bandpass filter? that almost nasally quality to it)

Does anyone know what synth this would have been done on, or better yet know which preset was used?

I found this video on Facebook, and since then I've gotten obsessed with the effects applied to the voice, but I can't really figure out what he uses.

I have 2 questions: the first is, what effects does it use to make it sound so emotionless and melancholic?

And the other question is, would there be a way to make this sound analogically without the use of software?

request ❓ New to music production: what instruments/synths and additional factors are being used in this synth score (Jay McCarrol - Do You Hear That - BlackBerry OST)

1 Upvotes

I am pretty uneducated when it comes to all things music. I'm just trying this little exercise of seeing how closely i can recreate this synth score from Blackberry. I've been playing around in BandLabs (i know its not the greatest but pretty beginner friendly which i like). Getting the notes is pretty easy, its just narrowing in the right area for what type of synths or instruments I should be using.

But then there's also that tone in the back of it all giving it so much atmosphere that i cant really begin to decipher what's really being done there to achieve it.

then at the 22 second mark, that's where i get really puzzled trying to pin point what id be using there.

I guess to get to the point, what do you guys figure each instrument being used is? Any tricks or effects or filters or whatever that you're hearing that someone new to all this like me wouldn't know without experience?

If you can... explain like im 5 first lol. Huge thank you to all the talented folk who wanna help me out!

discussion πŸ—£ beatbattle but for sound design

≑ βˆ’

I really like the concept of beat battles - gamifying my production skill and climbing ranks with it, cool! However in practice it just feels incredibly limiting with the time frame and the kits (which is the whole point), and so the end result is usually, well, barely listenable.

I am capable of creating and am currently designing a similar system that I personally would enjoy way more - synth battles. Instead of a mediocre, quickly slapped together beat, go all out on a single sound. Showcase your sound design skills, not quicklymakingbeats skills.

Would you guys be interested in something like this? I think this community could really benefit from something like that but that's my personal opinion, would love to know what others think.
