Sound Design Patch Thread

[Choofers]

So I'm messing around a bit with SynPlant, really need to buy this because it's amazing.
Made a bit of a saw pad, although I don't know how I could personally use it.

Turning the effect up on this gives it a very noisy, granulated sound. Turning it down gives it more of a sawtooth bass feel, so if you plan on using that, tweak the release accordingly.

I love SynPlant so much, I didn't think anyone used it. I should re-download it.

I'm trying to save up money for a TimeFrog III, just so I can play with Synplant with it rofl.

I THINK I CAN HELP YOU, FRIEND.


"too late

Most of the time as lurker suggests I select a preset, tweak some parameters on the plugin such as internal arp, reverb, and obviously fix it's position in the mix; then if necessary I post-filter it with distortion / wet/dry etc.

I respect people who have the ability to shape their own sounds (sound designers) but being a musician it seems tedious for me when you can just alter presets to sound as amazing and still retain "your sound". I guess there some kind of purist debate here, but I'd rather not be part of it -- either approach is fine. "

DITCH THIS ATTITUDE.

Don't you even start, you know this is a dumb argument.

Being lazy about something you are passionate about is the path to mediocrity. Do the effort, learn all you can, and then give yourself the opportunity to decide when you use presets and when you shape sound.

You call yourself a musician, but you are just some chump pumping out sounds. it is time for you to get serious about your craft.

There are 29 patches (all in massive) that have been labeled and compressed.

EnjooOoOoO000yyyy them!

DISCLAIMER: I made all of these patches a while ago, so if they're kind of nooby leave me alone! I haven't touched massive in months.

EDIT: How many of you have NI's Razor?

Give me the preset/patch this comes from

[Coolboyrulez0]

Most likely a Dubstep Massive preset; altered, for the bass.
Really wet Drums and slow tempo give it that specific beat.
Ask Milla honestly though, he's somewhat akin to what KOAN Sound sounds like.

PS: And I do understand that you are trying to prove a point.

I you are absolutely correct, I am not a musician nor have I ever stated this. I prefer producer anyways.
Or artist -- seeing as I see music as a form of expression. When I am happy, sad or whatever emotions flows through me I "compose/produce".

No thanks, it's merely a hobby. I don't have the time nor money to invest into all the things which would help me become a better artist.
There are people who are more talented, had more experience and have better funding and I have come to terms with that.
Not saying I'll ever stop, but my production level will never reach that of most others. Never.

While this sounds rather negative and even morbid, don't assume I don't put effort in my music. Ever.
I compose when thoughts come to me and sometimes finish songs months... in specific cases even years after first starting the project.
I only release what I deem to be good to the public and that's why I only have ~20 songs on my soundcloud while I have over 200 WIPs on my hard drive.
Nor do I find some songs ever to be finished, even after rendering some songs,
weeks later I re-open the projects to continue the track or to add / remove elements that annoyed me.
What I am saying is that to further delve into being an artist I would have to input even larger amounts of time and a good chunk of money,
both which I do currently not possess.

Only one thing is for certain: I have come a damn long way from arranging loops 4 years ago to making full-length house songs with no "samples" besides vocals.
(One might argue the oneshot samples of the kicks / snares are samples but I digress and I don't share my house / dance tracks here anyways so this point might be moot)

I can probably do something close to funk blaster.

EDIT:This is what it sounds like:
http://soundcloud.com/nmilla/funk-blaster-synth-demo/s-MjFBb

Its not spot on, but that's as close as I got in massive in the time i had.
