Would you hand any 16-year old who's had a single driving lesson the keys of your car?

Well no. I'm going to MAKE the sounds that I asked for with prophet's instructions. Then, I'm going to stop speaking on this thread, and hopefully as other people do, I'll get some more sounds out of it.

Synthesizing: Serious Business

[Yoozer]

Practice a month or so (this doesn't mean 8 hours per day) on listening to various combinations of basic waveforms (sine, saw, pulse, square, modulated pulse) at various tunings - third, fifth, octave, two octaves - all up and down. Then, apply filters to those combinations. Internalize those, because that's going to help you immensely when you want to learn how to mimic sounds.

And that's just subtractive; you can do amazing stuff that's hard/impossible with subtractive with lots of other things. Except for orchestral sounds which are sample-based anyway it can save you a huge load of money, because more plugins invariably means more overlap. Lots of free stuff is simply the hundredth incarnation of (classic synthesizer) and doesn't really add anything new; lots of paid stuff is the same.

Nightmare mode; pick a sound you like, start up the demo of Reason (quits after 20 minutes) and try to mimic a sound - any sound - before it closes.


So, yeah, serious business

[Nase]

or just twiddle dem knobs and go 'oooh! ahhh!'

dunno, that's how i remember my first encounters with a synth. it kinda was more fun to do at that point, and after a while of doing this i got the hang of basic subtractive synth architecture.
i read up on filters, envelopes and all that a while later, but what really got me started with synthesizers was the process of twiddling knobs and waiting for the crazee shit to happen.

YMMV ofcourse.

I think that kenji use EWQL Symphonic Voices to make voice to mp2 and mp3

I have a life, and was not familiar with the origins of this series. Reverse-fail.

But you spend more time than most on the forums

So =p

Yeah, but the difference is that DAWs don't roll over and explode Mr Trolololo

[Meteo Xavier]

I guess you weren't around for the 1st generation DAW stuff. :P
