request ❓ How do I make my synths less buzzy without sounding like I'm putting a pillow on them?

65 Upvotes

I've noticed a lot of synths used in hip hop and modern pop have very little buzz on them. But if I bring my low pass filter down to take some buzz off my synths, they sound like a pillow got put over them.

I know they're not using crazy synths: You can see videos of people working with out of the box synths. And I'm working with common digital synths.

Is this a wave shape thing? Is there a specific sauce to taking "buzz" off a patch without it sounding smothered?

Can give examples if needed but I feel like 90% of people who read this are gonna get what I'm saying just listening to modern pop and then tossing a filter on their favorite digital synth.

request ❓ Im trying to recreate this weird sound on Radioactivity - Kraftwerk. Any ideas on how it could be made?

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm currently working on a full reconstruction of Kraftwerk's Radioactivity and came across a peculiar sound that I'm struggling to replicate. They have used it on their live performances since 1990. Any ideas on its origin, or on recreating it using any synth?

Here are some Timestamps of the sound in all the versions of the track:

(Im talking about the background sound, not the morse code)

At about 21 seconds in we hear this vocal synth come in, I was wondering if anyone knows how he might have made this, or if anyone might have knowledge in the gear used to create it. Perhaps it’s actually a sample? Any insight is greatly appreciated <3

request ❓ What's the technique for getting a ripping synth sound like REZZ?

9 Upvotes

I'm really interested in creating a strong "ripping" sound as is often featured in REZZ's music like REZZ & X1-Y2 - ETERNAL @ 0:57 or this song called NIGHTCAP - HEIST MUSIC @ 0:47. I guess it's based on a square wave, but do you guys have any further tips on how to beef up that juicy shredded sound?

request ❓ What VST and presets for Dabeull funk bass sounds?

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm interested in synths almost only because I desperately want to get Dabeull bass sounds, but it seems it's basically impossible.

Examples:

If someone could recommend a VST and if possible a specific preset to reproduce this kind of sound I would be eternally grateful.

There was a guy explaining how to do it here:

But I cannot get with to work with a Bass Station 2 or a Deepmind 6 (I'm probably pretty bad at patching though).

Here is the best I could come up with, but I'm not happy with it. There must be some stuff I'm missing.

I love the synth sounds in this remix. My band is asking me to recreate them and I’m not sure where to start as I am a guitarist with an interest in adding keys and synths to our songs.

I have a bunch of Arturia software but might be able to grab a Novation Summit for an incredible deal.

I’m still new to synthesis so I’m asking for any guidance on how to recreate the synth sounds in this song.

They use this exact synth brass in a lot of their songs from this era. (see valentine, The Party, their remix of "Electric Feel") How can I get this sound? I'm trying to using my JUNO 106 and I can't get that close at all. Seems to be a bit of detune and it pitches down right as the notes start.

request ❓ Metallic sparkles - any tips on how this Kiraro signature sound is created (was done without sampling, on purely analogue synths)?

2 Upvotes

One of Kitaro's signature sounds is the glistening / sparkling tiny metallic sounds he used on many albums and tracks - one example is the opening of Oasis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzNUNDjC3sM

EDIT: Title has stupid typo, Kitaro not Kiraro....Doh.

Considering this was done well before samplers and via purely analogue means, how would one go about creating something like this (without sampling, on digital or analogue or analogue modelling digital gear).

I was thinking it uses some random arpeggiator or several of those, plus somehow very sharp envelopes with a metallic sound (could he have been using ring modulation? or it just comes across as metallic with odd harmonics?).

Many thanks for any thoughts
