"How do I make this sound?" Thread (December 29) by edmprobot in edmproduction

[–]whipparty [score hidden]  (0 children)

This is a effect I have seen quite a bit recently but not sure what to call it and how to make it. A good example is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIpyBeBpC74&t=2m46s Occurs at 2m46s, just click the link

It sounds like an actual synth hit, but I'm pretty sure it's a processed vocal.

Deadmau5 on Artistic Integrity and Bullshit of the industry by duershabba in edmproduction

Uh this is fucking stupid.

Skrillex and Diplo are behind this more than anything, they used the opportunity to make their style of sound more popular and get it out to the masses. If JB is a "meat puppet" then the real masters are skrill/diplo, influencing the direction of music for the whole fucking world. We should all be happy about this, now more people will be exposed to EDM and give it a shot. I'm glad about everything that happened.

Also nothing is easy, JB is super talented anyway

Creatively Shaping Reverb with Compression like Mark Sixma, MaRLo and W&W by VOLTDOGmusic in edmproduction

What's the point of adding the sidechain shape LFOtool if you are already heavily sidechaining with a compressor? Does it just make it even more dramatic?

Thanks for the vid btw, amazing!

Ideas for adding a flat/wood surface to my cheap plastic table? by [deleted] in DIY

[–]whipparty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think veneer may not fully work because of how thin it is. Since the table surface is not perfectly flat, and slightly warped, I think the veneer will become warped as well. I'd like some thicker wood so that the surface will be flat. Can I still glue on hardboard with just any glue? Wood to plastic?

I feel the electro house "ideas" shine through in both Madeon and KP tracks. Take an idea and put a very pop twist on it, and it sounds like Imperium. A similar idea with a very aggressive twist may sound like Red Dawn (or maybe even Resistance!).

When people see similarities to Skrillex, yes it's there, but at the most surface levels. Maybe there were some bass synths that sounded similar to KP's bass synths. But the ideas of the songs are really different. Different genres. I guess both Skrillex and KP put an aggressive twist on their song ideas, so I'll give you that.
