    This happen with any of you? (or any other variations) ... When I draw on inspiration, or when it hits randomly, I can usually 'see' the musical parts in my head in the form of a piano-roll and step-sequencer, and so on. Anyone else see the matrix?

    Anyone can recreate this lead?

    What I'm mainly looking for though, is how to get the main sound, sounding really dry rough and harsh like it's been left in the desert for 50 years then dragged against an old person's skin.

    Anyone can recreate this lead?

    Okay, from watching that tutorial on Thor, I clocked how to get Zeta+ to piss about with the lfo/cutoff. Not sure if I can add automation to the lfo range/amount. If I can i'll do that, if not I'll just modulate it while mod wheel.

    Anyone can recreate this lead?

    Yeah I was thinking it was made in Massive. It's kinda interesting, just like how the Moog had a defining sound, I think Massive will probably be a defining sound of this era. Can usually tell when something's came from Massive.

    Anyone can recreate this lead?

    I have reason sitting next to me on a CD waiting to be installed. Still debating getting it installed or not. To get the main sound I've kind of made a Saw sound, several together, as rough as I could get it, then I've thrown it through waves guitar amp. I've done this in Zeta+ by the way...

    Sucio, God, much appreciated guys!!! And thanks, God for the formant tip. I've heard that pop up recently so have been holding it in the back of my mind!

    Ancient Talking...

    I know the whole 'modern talking' presets and sounds have been pretty much raped beyond their life, I'm just wondering if you know of any other ways to get this kind of sound (a somewhat vocal-sounding bass/lead) from any synths other than NI Massive? Looking to create anything from...

    Adding 'Weight' To Your Snare Hits

    Just for the heads up, I've shadowed a few professional engineers so I've seen a lot of different ways they choose to do things. A side reason to my post above was that too many people can be drawn into the 'processing for the sake of processing' trap, something I used to do a lot. I'll only...

    What makes Fl Studio better than other DAW?

    Misinformation.

    Adding 'Weight' To Your Snare Hits

    On a similar note... The way you mix a track, can make a seemingly lacklustre drum channel come to life, depending on the way you compress and how you shape the dynamics of your track. By this I don't mean "once you slam your drums hard through a compressor and crush them to death - urika!" I...

    Adding 'Weight' To Your Snare Hits

    The whole low/mid/high/nextamountoflayers thing I used to do ageees ago when I first got into producing. At current, I feel it's slightly unnecessary. I think it should be more about your production choices. What I mean by this, is if you want some huge crashing snare, or some pretty dominant...

    wizard, that sh!t's grimey. When the main sounds come in, that's some gansta ass shit. Haha. what a tasty sample/tune.

    Mastering Tips For Do-It-Yourselfers

    Mixing tip... (seeing as EQ is flying around a lot) if you've produced your track really well, and chosen really good elements, and chosen those elements smartly, you likely won't need to use much EQ. It depends though.

    Mastering Tips For Do-It-Yourselfers

    Yeah personally if I EQ before compression (whatever sense) it's usually for this reason... To control what parts of the signal are triggering the compression (more of a creative use so to speak) but also, if you have a hefty bass that is really smashing hard, this could trigger your compressor...

    Showcase - May 1-3, 2012

    @both posters... Both beats are quite groovy, liking what they doing. Dangerous... Flow of the rapper ain't bad too, got a cocky ish style, but I think some of it coulda done with some re-takes, the vocal technique lacked in a couple bits. But good though. Dangerous, your track sound a bit...

    Virus Scans and false positives...?

    That's what I was sceptical about!!! To be honest, I can't wait 'til I get the funds to start putting together some legit shit. I just need to decide on a DAW to roll with, and a few main synths/vsts.

    Weak sound/better synths???

    2GooD - much love. I've always noticed this - and it's something that's always pissed me off to the ends of the earth, believeee me! Still is! All - I notice some synth vst's however, say for example Z3ta and Rapture in Sonar give off comparatively 'larger'/richer sounds. I've heard a thing...

    Weak sound/better synths???

    Yeah I just mono'd the channel, but it should be giving out a stereo signal, it was only coming out left. Mono'ing the channel works, but the plugin itself should be giving out a stereo signal. Listening to my track, compared to how it sounded mp3 in headphones, sounds fine out my monitors...
