sound inspiration thread

[supergroover]

ok guys & girls (are there any on this part of the forum?),

 

i was thinking it might be nice to have a topic with some production ideas. So you can read these to get some new ideas, continue the track that is stuck, or just have an interesting read.

 

i ll kick off:

 

for slower stuff (130-135) i like to add a groove with just weird sounds. Mostly just short little noises that give the track a swing.

To do this you can create all the sounds yourself of course, but you can also take some loops from samplecd's and cut those up, reshuffle and rearrange them so you cant recognise the old loop anymore and maybe add some extra filters or effects. This way you can quite easily create groovey loops that arent recognisable from the samplecd, but they groove as fuck (your genius musicality taken for granted )

You can also do this with rex files btw

 

good luck!

I sometimes grab a random sample, cut it, and use it for percussion ^^ a good example of that would be squishing a plastic bottle.

Go through a couple of the audio bits already in there, and try reversing them. Interesting stuff may be hiding behind the mirror

Sit for hours and hours trying to make a perfect loop is all I do :posford:

Yup, this is fun reverse random sounds + add delay. If you can master this for percussions you'll have something very unique. I've yet to do a track that really does this well I think i'm overdue

Yeah it's quite a little beast. Except its being raped so much lately that everybody uses it in their tracks. It's being used in psy-tracks as much as the Benny Benassi baseline is in every other dance track it seems.

 

But still, the thing's a beast. Another one I'd recommend is Microtonic, it's not a vst fx, its a synth. But I think if you would mix these 2 together it would be a monster kill of possibilites hehe.

its HOW you use a tool, not that you copy how everyone else is using the tool
