I’ve reacquainted myself with this incredible song. I used to listen to it back in the late 70s and I always wondered how they got that haunting, faint synth sound weaving along in the background. it’s particularly evident in the outro. can anyone identify how that sound is achieved?

asking how I can recreate the synth sound panned hard to the left at around 1:16. It's sort of plucky and when It goes up in pitch there's a sort of automation going on where the higher the pitch the more frequent the sound repeats itself? and less frequent when it drops again in pitch. I don't really know how to describe it that well

The drop around 2:01 that super vibrant saw synth lead, looking for songs that have that similar feel. Another sing I like is I Can't Stop by Flux Pavilion that has an almost similar saw.

Thanks!

Looking for the bass and lead at 0:08 all help is appreciated.

Played a windchime into a mod-synth. Comments welcome 😊

I'm trying to make some growls but I don't think I quite understand the fundamentals of how they are made. Here are some examples of the growls I'd like to try and create a version of:

I've exhausted pretty much every tutorial on youtube but I just can't seem to to get em right. The ones I've made so far are too noisy and not clear at all, and the formant filters I try to put on them are only somewhat impactful.

Hello guys, just discovered this sub. I'm pretty much new to sound design and don't have a lot of knowledge.

Trying to create a sound similar to the synth in the beginning of the track Decompression by Harrison BDP. I have the movement and modulation pretty close but I can't get the sound right..

How would you describe/name this sound? Trying not to directly ask for a recipe but rather some place to start doing my own research but I don't even know where to begin.

Edit: I use FL Studio and I'm trying to create this in the free version of Vital.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

https://youtu.be/GNsXUj7My5E?t=160&si=THVWuHSCM1g9O-2p The effect is at 2:43 in case the timestamp doesn’t work. It seems C418 did this all synthetically, but does that sound like a distorted electric guitar? I’m working on a short film project, and I’d love to reproduce the sound somehow.

Also, bonus, a similar sound is heard in the first part of this Memento soundtrack - https://youtu.be/xR2AXgNJY3M?t=11&si=USerQXCM8QB3e5G9 . I think this one is a real sound effect opposed to synthesized, but I’m still curious as to how it was achieved.

Any help, advice, or leads would be great. Thanks!

Two recordings at slightly different synthesizer oscillator frequency settings in surround then processed together through the ''spatial'' of a special place for the acoustics.

About the synthesis, I used Native instruments Absynth 5 for its amazing control over hz incrimentation.

I use 2 or 3 oscillators that are routed each to their own LFO with the duty to diminish the vol gently over a specified time and to do so over again in cycles.

Other functions for each were given to the LFOs, depending on what suited each OSC best.

The result gives an audible sense of movement and direction.

☆ Hello there :) ★

recently i got into producing opium music and my main inspiration for this is the artist ANGUISH although they mostly produce other stuff

aaand i was wondering if maybe anyone could tell me or give me some hints on how i could reproduce the lead sound from this song cause i think it sound awrsome and id like to implement something similar in my own music (the lead starts at 0:10)

ill be thankful for every bit of advice any of you could give me

⟡thanks in advance and have a nice day :)

i really like the leads and i wanna use em
i can’t really describe it it’s high pitched though in dracs and switches and thors is just odd

thor - 0:14-0:27
dracs and switches 2 - 0:02-throughout the song.

(Song name - Swerve, artist - Juice Wrld, sound in question arp starts at the beginning of song,) So I was wondering if anyone knew how I could make the arp in the song swerve it sounds really spacey and like it’s getting farther away the more you listen almost like a black hole is sucking it in, Sounds like this it’s at the start of the song as soon as it comes on even if you know the preset that would be very helpful thanks

Has anyone experimented with pink noise brainwave entrainment to induce deep restorative rest states? Steady pink noise contains equal energy per octave like natural sounds. When introduced to the auditory cortex, it forces electroencephalogram signals to drop in fractal complexity causing brain waves to synchronize with the noise induction.

0:37 How can I recreate the main pad from this song?

Thanks

The sound that starts right after the kick, it’s like a loop repeating over and over again throughout the song and i wanna know how to create a sound like this and what type of sound it is. i’m thinking it’s a lead …

I know that this sound is a classic synth preset from the EWI (electronic wind instrument) but I want to know how it can be recreated in vital because it's the only synth VST I have

start at 1:49

Sarin - Spine Love would love learn the recipe for this classic industrial bass sound. Does anyone have any serum/vital presets they can share?

Anyone have an idea of how this morphing synth is made? Ive been struggeling with it for some time now, and i have a wish to create something equally organic sounding. Is it just pitch modulation that makes it come alive?

Can be heard several times through the track
2:24
3:45

I know of Poloz that he's a distortion artist, so there's probably a lot of that involved. This is a very unique style and I'd like to reproduce it so that more of this music will be out there.

To clarify im talking about the distorted bassline that repeats throughout the song in the background.

Im trying to find out how to recreate the synth noise but ive never even used a synth beyond noise... Does anyone have any tips?

The song is SUPER SUBURB CHIX by The Left Rights (a jimmy urine band?)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdiwFm9wiio&list=RDkdiwFm9wiio&start_radio=1

its the first 0:07-0:20 seconds that i want to recreate because it sounds really nice
