Goa Travellers Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Hi guys, Any idea how to create a throaty sound such as the one playing the main melody here? Thanks! Quote
Veracohr Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 That's comb filtering, an effect produced by phase shifters, flangers and comb filter effects. Quote
Imba Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 I meant gate/gater, thats effect too right? Maybe i misunderstand a question, but it does have a gate Quote
Goa Travellers Posted February 24, 2013 Author Posted February 24, 2013 Thanks for the answer, I didn't think about comb filtering, indeed! Quote
Veracohr Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 I meant gate/gater, thats effect too right? Maybe i misunderstand a question, but it does have a gate Oh I see what you mean. I suppose it could, but I'd say it's more likely just the note pattern. I don't know why anyone would use a pattern gate effect for something so simple. Anyway, the 'throaty' quality he asked about is the comb filtering. Quote
Goa Travellers Posted February 24, 2013 Author Posted February 24, 2013 Are you sure it's really ? It sound different to me. I might be wrong. Quote
needle ninja Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Comb filtering is the easiest and most common way to produce the effect you had in your OP. If there is another way I'd be glad to see it. Quote
Goa Travellers Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 Yeah...I guess the waveform is critical too...I'd be glad to know what original waveform was used before shifting phases. Quote
Goa Travellers Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 This is also an interesting produced with a formant filter. Quote
Veracohr Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Are you sure it's really ? It sound different to me. I might be wrong. I didn't watch the video, but I'm quite sure. The character of the filtering can change a lot depending on an effect's settings and the frequency content of the signal. Here's a similar throaty sound I made with a filtered, distorted supersaw and a negative flanger set at about 2.5ms & 90% feedback. Adjustment of the LFO sweep helps to get the right sound: http://www.veracohr.com/audio/throatyflange.wav This is also an interesting produced with a formant filter. Yeah, formant filters accomplish much the same thing but in a different way. Comb filtering from a flangers & phase shifters is a result of very short delays. Formant filters use parallel bandpass filters to shape the frequency response in a way similar to human throats and mouths. Both accomplish the same general thing: accentuating certain frequencies and diminishing others. Quote
Goa Travellers Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 Hum....I love that sound you sent. I'm gonna experiment myself Quote
Panoptes Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 At first I thought you were talking about and like the one at the intro of this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP4ESXJMUB4 (which is done with a vowel filter I believe) I dont' see how you consider that sound "throaty" Quote
Veracohr Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Hum....I love that sound you sent. I'm gonna experiment myself In the absence of a formant filter (I don't have one myself), go with a negative flanger. A positive flanger won't produce the same effect. Quote
