ZrinXochiquetzal Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hello, I am creating my very first song. It's a remix of Chozo ruins with some Nightmare thrown in there. I was thinking of putting the "Metroid Prime Bell" As I like to call it, into the song. The sound I'm talking about can be prominently heard at the beginning of the Parasite queen boss battle at 0:07 to 0:08.https://youtu.be/6DCcCBOmOo0?t=6. This sound really interests me as I remember it being used in other prime tracks. I think the bell would fit my remix rather well but I have had trouble reverse engineering it. I do know the basics of synthesis but I haven't been making music as long as most of you guys have so I thought I would ask for some tips in recreating this sound. I'm working on a strict budget as I have no income at the moment and I can't spare money on super expensive VSTs. I have FL studio producer edition so anything that comes with it, I have.

shadowpsyc Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Had some fun recreating this. It's one of those chord baked into the preset things, I usually avoid these so it was quite unfamiliar and took me a while to figure it out but once it was done it was clear that I'd heard samples like this before Sytrus patch - https://www.mediafire.com/?o9n299xxbq9xk0o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do, But the link you gave was for "Tallon IV Rave Organ." I was looking at the bell sound used in the time-stamp I gave in the video. Another place the bell is used is at 0:59 to 1:01 in the same song (https://youtu.be/6DCcCBOmOo0?t=58). It rings three times. Again, I thank you a lot for your help and your work won't go unused I assure you. However it wasn't exactly what I was asking fer. If I'm am still unclear on the sound I'm hearing let me know and I'll clarify some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Sounds like a slightly distant anvil (metallic pot-like clang). Not sure how to synthesize that, but you could find similar sounds in the Impact Soundworks Reforged library. They give a sampler pack with 42 WAV files (and a bunch of NKI files for Kontakt). Or, maybe you could use a tubular bell sound and detune it / make it more atonal, then layer a very quiet gong. The hit at about 0:08 sounds like a quiet gong was played underneath the metallic clang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Maybe it's a regular anvil sound detuned and stretched to somewhere around a B-flat 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I completely missed it, as it turns out the sound I recreated also happens on the same time stamps and I assumed it was the foreground element you were after. It's possible to do a sound like that via synthesis but as the other two posts said, it's most likely just a sample that's been dropped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXACERBLAST Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Has a pretty quick release so I'd say it's some kind of anvil/metal hit rather than a bell specifically. Reminds me of --> Might be better hunting for a sample rather than synthesizing it . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
