Anyone Know How To Make Your Instruments Sound Old ?

[MGTheFuture]

Anyone Got Any Techniques Or Tips On How To Turn, Lets Say, A Piano From Hypersonic And Make It Sound Like It Was On A Recording From The 60/70's ? I Got The Izotope Plugin... But Is There Any Other Bit Settings/Filters/EQ Styles And Such I Can Use ?

I Basically Wanna Make Like Melodic 4 Bar Compositions, Get Em To Sound Like They A Record, And Chop Them Bitches Up To Make Something For These Back Packer Dudes...


Imma Eventuall Get The Roland SP-555 For Those FX...But Till Then, Any Suggestions ?

You might want to fuck with Proteus VX instead of Hypersonic. Playing around with the growl and sp12 emulator settings to dirty it up. But to be honest ..I'd just get my sample game on and chop up some rare 60/70's shit. Old 70's movie sound tracks is a good place to start!http://www.moviegrooves.com/shop/bestoftonyhatch.htm

HAhaa YEAH, nah i got regular samples and what....you ever heard CROUP ?

I wanna make tracks like his "05"

....which is basically a rare sample laced with keys...

i just wanna compose the whole damn thing and get it to sound like that, so i dont have to worry about clearing anything, that and have more creative freedom over the scales/change ups

You know he used hella samples in that track though right? It's about the only way to get that authentic feel ya dig. At the most he laced them drums, the strings and maybe laid the b4 organ down on that track. Listen to the next track and you can acutally hear how he composes an entire track. Doesn't sound half as dramatic as the 05 joint!

 

[MGTheFuture]

Thats A Great Way To Put It...Dramatic...I wanna make my shit dramatic...

Word...I'm sure somebody will breeze thru the thread with a couple suggestions. B Ez....I'm going back to bed...lol

ROFL hell yeah, i havent seen 8am...in a few months

Cut the high end with some EQ.
I use the iZotope Vinyl plug-in, and that shit is mean (And free).
EQ + Vinyl= 70's

here is an old trick ive done before... Get a tape recorder and record yourself playing on a real piano... do the same for all the other instraments...the tape should give you that "old school feel" just add some reverb and u should be set..

 

[Ash Holmz]

a very good filter can give u that vintage feel .... soundtoys filterfreak, psp nitro, fabfilter etc... u gotta tweak it just right with a good 4 or 8 pole bandpass filter.

 

[MGTheFuture]

I was thinking about using that Tube/Tape Feature On Scream when i play the refills....record it into my microphone to create the ambience of a room....and then like.... send it thru the EQ processs and maybe add a hint of amplitube/Izotope at the end...

and see how it sounds


cuz its soooo important i get it to sound right

Another good example of a song i want it to sound like is Jay-Z

"Let that bitch breathe..."


You hear how the organs are live/in a room somewhere

doesnt sound too much like reverb...sounds like them dudes really in a church

cosign...add to that, convert the sample from tape to 8bit.

That whole track is a sample. I was shocked as shit to hear it note for note but it is.

 

[MGTheFuture]

^ yeah it is a sample... but i mean i wanna play something where my ORIGINAL sounds LIKE That sample...

I posted an beat example of the tape recording thing i mentinoed

here
Sample Example '04

this beat is old as hell (over 3 1/2 years)and defo needs to be reworked but if u notice the piano i did that whole tape deck thing. I just recorded myself playing a real piano on a tape deck. And re recorded that into soundforge and added some filters on the sample from my fantom XR rack.. I think if u re-record any instrament live and "dirty" it up with tape its pretty effiecent ..espically if your lacking knowlege of alot of fancy plugins(which is me)

THis tecnique works really well with guitars and congo's as well.. Put some reverb gated reverb on a gutiar after u recorded back and bam.. u got that old 60's feel....

class...

Izotope vinyl, its one of my oldest tricks

[MGTheFuture]

yeah i got that and amplitube 2.0

plus the scream joint

imma figure it out

theres also a white noise patch in hypersonic 2

 

[Formant024]

^^^^ Amplitube on a dry instrument works best imo, use vintage warmer too but moderately

 

[Lazy Eyes]

best way is to use a real instrument man, not a plugin.. the authentic sound comes from an authentic instrument. It is possible to get close but it's real hard to get a sound like that Jay - Z organ in let that bitch breath..

It almost can't be done without recording it in a live room and using hella lot of effects

 

[Relic]

The best way to make your inst to sound old is to put it in a corner and let it collect lots of dust and get out of tune, then after 20 years pick it up and play it with the dust still on it..

Dream popo good lookin out on the plugin!
