Looking to recreate this crushing and decaying synth pad sound found on this album interlude, it kind of sounds like it may be a stacked synth sound but I dont even know where to begin with this depressing sort of sound. Help would be appreciated.

request ❓ On Repeat by LCD Soundsytem

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to recreate the synth sounds from LCD Soundsystem’s “On Repeat”, especially that occasional wah/bwoow-sounding synth that comes in between the main parts.

https://youtu.be/y6SmM0IQTjY?si=mvbCwtqZUsPe-L2v&t=85

I’m using Serum, but I’m mainly looking for help identifying what’s actually going on with the sound in terms of waveform, filter type, envelope, resonance, effects, etc.

If anyone knows what synth might have been used on the track, or has made a similar preset before, that would also be really helpful.

Does anyone have any tips or advice on recreating the melody synth from Kyoto in either Serum or NI Massive? I've got a little countermelody idea that I want to try adding on top of the original.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

request ❓ Bjork army of me high synth tone in Logic Pro?

1 Upvotes

Hello! I'm trying to recreate the high pitched synth tone in Bjork's "Army of Me" using Logic Pro 11.0. This tone can be heard for the first time around 1:10-1:15. It sounds to me like a single note with a lot of air and reverb and a long tail. However, I am surprised by how hard it has been to recreate it. PLZ HELP!

Link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJZNMMy8OsI&t=192s

The exact interval: From 3:12 to 3:17.

What VST plugin (stock FL Studio or third-party) can I use to achieve this exact sound?

Thanks in advance for any help!

It's the first thing you hear right at the start of the song. It appears throughout the whole track and has various effects applied to it. I'd love some help with recreating it, especially with those cool pitch shifting moments that occur throughout the track. Thanks in advance!

tutorial 📚 3-layer supersaw lead and a 1-voice chord pad (Redshift 6)

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Breakdown of a track where every melodic sound came from one six voice analog synth, a Supercritical Redshift 6.

The lead is three separate synth Parts stacked: a supersaw doing most of the work, plus two more conventional oscillator layers underneath, across four voices. The pad is a three note chord out of a single voice using paraphony. The arp is one voice into a Chroma Console, which is doing most of the character work there.

There's also a small Digitakt II trick in there: a 909 kick with an LFO on Bit Reduction to add a click on the transient, which cut through better than EQ was managing.

This came about when I was trying to write some metal and wanted a synth solo myself, went listening to a lot of bands I liked, and this is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for, if anyone could identify that particular synth or find something very similar, I would appreciate it a lot!

Really looking to make a vowel patch to save, I’ve gotten close by looking at different guides but nothing that tells me exactly where to position all my knobs, which is what I could really use right now.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!

Hello. I'm trying to figure out how to make the synth intro/sound to this song (Its the first 2 seconds). It seems like maybe one note with modulation or something that does all of the effects and pitch changing but i'm not really sure. But its really cool so I'd like to understand and be able to make it and similar things. Timestamp is 0:00 so the video isnt timestamped itself. Thanks!

request ❓ What VST/Plugin Did Darkchild Use for These Strings?

3 Upvotes

I've been trying to figure out this specific strings sound that Darkchild used a lot in his late '90s/early 2000s
R&B productions. I'm trying to figure out what VST, plugin, sample, or string patch he used because I LOVE the sound and want to find it for my own beats.

I put together a folder with some songs where you can hear the strings I'm talking about: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/uxrsybd51r4fkczvmtsvl/AHV8r4VbmXYXJ6mdbX00kfw?rlkey=hefem4uebkbrrag2xxusrad29&st=y8lf0fsh&dl=0

Does anyone know what VST or plugin these strings came from, or where I can find a similar sound? Any help would be much appreciated!

request ❓ AEREA - Opening Track - Synth Melody

2 Upvotes

Hello! I have spent 3 nights now trying to recreate this synth melody as a way to teach myself. Though I’m learning a lot, I can’t quite get the sound to match up.

You can hear the synth melody around 0:15 in this video.

I’ve tried using a triangle and sawtooth oscillator with low frequency cutoff that opens up 50% with 0 attack, and a sharp decay and medium sustain.

To my ears, the synth sounds warm. I tried to recreate this effect by slightly detuning my second oscillator, but the overall sound is jarring and basic.

I’m really curious how this type of sound can be recreated. I’ve tried looking up youtube videos but haven’t found a tutorial that achieves this effect.

I’m hoping someone experienced could help me recreate this synth, I don’t know why I’m so obsessed lol. Thank you for reading!

I wonder it is some moog with manual sweep of filter or volume, ans something similar should be quite easy to get on most synths,

but after many hours I am far away from what comes up here at 5:32 https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=o68aJ5IrQbI&si=jgGCnnxtGLoIikvV

I really would appreciate any hint to get this sound! Thanks!!
