not being clear. a filter isn't a synth - it's an effect applied to the synth's output, to filter out all frequencies above or below a certain level, or pass. you're going to have to play with the filter to understand what i'm talking about, but basically, you want the filter to only allow low frequencies through. so, play with the filter until you're primarily getting low-end stuff through it as opposed to higher-end stuff.

or look for tutorials on youtube. a lot of this is hands-on experience.

But do you recommend a synth to use?

I recommended Synth1, but you ignored that. :P

Ok, so the sine wave from the Torvus Bog one is good. Darkesword sent me a soundfont with one in there that he used in Yellow Valkyrie.http://www.mediafire.com/file/z2bzbb...1wr/yvclip.mp3

The percussion (depth charge) from the Parasite Queen battle is doing some weird stuff, so I still need that.

Still looking through hammersound for a good choir.

But the Phendrana Drifts one, it's killing me. If we could be more specific for that one, that'd be great. I just got FL, and I'm not used to everything yet.

And just to put gasoline on this already burning hot fire,

I need these:

Metroidy sounds at the beginning,

The constant beat that sounds metallic but not,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrO-G...eature=related

As many sounds from this as possible,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tz15Y...eature=related

And last, the sounds starting at 00:27.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tz15Y...eature=related

Sorry that I need so many!

I'm trying to establish a good sound library right now.

I completely forgot about that. I'll try it again.

It is highly recommended that you start with synth1.

Here, zircon even put together a starting point tutorial on synthesis

clicky

I started to get a basic understand of synthesis through the subtractor synth on Reason but if you're usin vsts, synth1 is definitely the way to go. And from there you just keep tweaking and tweaking, figurin out what each of the knobs and buttons do. There's no quick fix to automatically learning about synthesis, you just have to practice, so that way you can just recreate the sounds you need instead of tryin to painstakingly look for patches or soundfonts over the web. A lot of those sounds from the Metroid Prime game you could recreate yourself if you have the patience and dedication to learning synthesis.

I just want to say that "learn synthesis" is probably the best advice in this thread. Once you know synths, you can make most of the sounds you want. The rest of the sounds you can probably create with a sampler and some effects by the time you know synths well enough.

Seriously. Get a synth (3xOSC or whatever), turn everything down to it's most basic state, then start screwing with it to really get an idea of what does what. I would recommend a synth with a clean interface like TAL-Ekek7ro or FreeAlpha (use google). They both come with factory presets that you can learn from. Read up on synthesis, look at other synths, listen to what ppl do with synths... learn that stuff.

If you don't learn this, you'll always have to come to someone else to get the sounds you need, even when you could make those sounds in a minute yourself.

Learning synthesis seems like too big of a job for me right now. I'm still in school, and I'm already short on time as it is. I can't take the time to learn synthesis. That's why right now I'm trying to get suggestions for these great sounds that I LOOOVE.

Is nobody going to give me any suggestions for the most recent songs posted?
