    Sonic Generation Lead Synth Help!

    in Music Composition & Production

    Posted

    2 detuned saws under notch/bell filter (with the cutoff and/or the resonance automating in some range) with alot of distortion/bit decimation or overdrive.

    Basically what he said. ^^

    I don't know what software you're using, but lots of times, depending on the synth plugin, you can find the sound easier. In Logic, the best bet would be ES1. It is a more low quality synth but it can do some really cool stuff and I bet I could create that synth if I spent enough time on it.

    I think the reason no one's done any of them is because every single song is actually the same tune except in a different style. And it's totally clever and nostalgic to me and I love the soundtrack to death, but I just don't think it's a very easy soundtrack to remix and say the remix was specifically for this specific track. Remixing one track by just keeping the melody is basically remixing the whole soundtrack, if you understand what I mean.

    But hey, challenge accepted. ^^

    is there any software to synth instruments

    My answer to everything is always Logic Pro (and in this case Logic Instruments), because it's just so good with programming-related stuff.

    But there are quite a bit of great synth machines out there, so just search it up. Meteo and Rozovian have already given some good suggestions.

    By the way, Meteo, how do you get any of these plugins into Logic. Do you know? Synth 1 looked good and they had one for Mac but I don't know how to get into my Logic system. Probably really simple hahaha...

    Orchestral piece. Looking for feedback.

    I guess the best way to remedy that is just learn to play the most melodic and busiest parts and re do them on the keyboard. That should give it more humanization. Thanks, G.

    Not necessarily. What I've learned is you can go and try changing the velocity of different notes and move them a slight bit to make it sound a little bit off just to give it a more realistic sound. In Logic Pro, I have found an easy way to do this by lowering the "Quantize Strength". If it's at 100%, obviously it's going to be on perfect time. If you lower it to 80%, it'll still be pretty close, but not exactly.

    I was surprised when i found out that Paul McCartney didn't even know basic music theory. (according to a few of my music teachers that were raised on the beetles.)

    It's The Beatles ^^. But yeah, Paul knows nothing about writing or reading music, really.

    And I know very little as well. I mean, I know stuff like Cm7 and Ab13 and stuff but I'm not a genius when it comes to chords.

    But I would most certainly encourage the use of knowing chords and being able to write them. If you don't plan on doing it for a living, I don't think it's all that important. But if you were to be a songwriter for other people or a studio musician, it would be best you knew this stuff.

    But I highly doubt you are going to be a studio musician. But hey, I could be wrong. :)

    Random fact: A lot of Sonic fans think that the credits song was based off of Stranger in Moscow, but it's vice versa. MJ was involved with composing for the game, and later made a song with the same chord progression. xD

    Oh wow, yeah see I thought the same thing! Good to know! Where'd you get this info?

    Heck yes. I personally don't think that the low mids are weird at all as timaeus is saying, though it may be my headphones (they aren't all that great, but they'll do the job). I honestly think it sounds great. In fact, possibly like a small tad bit higher frequency on master track? Don't know if you are EQing the master track. But those drums are amazing. Love it.

    Man, those chord progressions always remind me of Stranger in Moscow by MJ. And I believe that was the attempt. :D

    I'm so happy that this project has taken off. I'm seriously hyped for the finished project. Though I'm not a fan of the title.

    I think the title's great! xD Do you have an alternate idea you like better?

    That wasn't meant to sound like I'm being the smart one who's trying to come back at you. That question is meant to be delivered softly. ^_^

    The funky side of OCR?

    I'd say if you want to get into funk, listen to some jazz and then listen to some James Brown. ^-^

    Jazz is just something most everyone should at least have a respect for, honestly. It's the base of a lot of genres we know of today that sound nothing like jazz.

    James Brown is pure funk. And one of the best known. But you most likely already knew that. :D

    That forum looked like a good place to start, though I never read it, so I don't know how much of it I'd disagree with.
