Arp on “Behind the buttons” from French79

Hi there, does anyone have an idea of how to replicate the arpeggio on Behind the buttons from French79? I think I have the right chords but can’t replicate arp mode (using ableton arpegiator on my Korg Minilogue XD) - thanks

How can I make this bass sound?

I’m trying to recreate the bass sound at 1:15 but I’m struggling, pretty sure it’s like a Juno or prophet type thing but I’m trying to create it in serum, anyone have any tips on how to create it or what type of bass it’s called?

A bass sound with a lot of movement in Synthesis by tn-shi.

At 0:54 in Synthesis by tn-shi, there is a really cool bass that has a lot of movement. I hear similar synths to this in other songs as well. I imagine it's fairly complex, and probably has some parameters that are modulated with automation. If anyone has any pointers, or know what this style of bass is called so I can look for other resources, that would be incredibly helpful. Thank you in advance!

How to achieve this low warble in call and response?

I've been trying to get more into synthesis and was wondering what bass sounds/types play in this Silva Bumpa track, "Bass Down Low." (in honor of him dropping some IDs later this week)

IPC x Silva Bumpa B2B // KINDRED RADIO X ATW
https://youtu.be/Ccjl6_3tSfE?si=rmE0_bCt_Ol21HNY&t=3451d

Song drops at 57:31

The call seems to be a regular donk bass, but what about that lower, more warbly response? It's been itching my brain, and I would love to know what kind of bass it is.

Cheers!

Help emulating Thriftworks sound production

Hi everyone. Just an obligatory disclaimer that I'm aware of the allegations against Thriftworks and this isn't an endorsement of him, but unfortunately his style occupied a pretty unique niche that I'm trying to emulate.

That said, I could use some help recreating some elements in this track.

So to begin, I'm not sure how to go about the "wah-wah" sound that occurs immediately as the track starts, and repeats throughout.

Second, I could probably find some foley pretty easily on Splice or elsewhere to mimic the glassy/chime sounds in the background of the intro, but I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions how I might go about doing this myself. If I found a cool sample to start with (like silverware on a plate or something), what direction would you go with effects?

Lastly, there's the high pitch drone(?) sound that starts picking up around 0:21 seconds and increases in intensity until the sub kicks in at 0:29 seconds before leveling out. I'm not even sure where to begin with that and welcome any advice.

The other thing I could desperately use help with is blips and bloops. I know this should be simple, and I intuitively understand it should just be an arp on some plucks but for some reason I've never gotten it to sound right even after years of trying. This sound is used all the time in electronic music yet for some reason it eludes me. It's featured here at 1:38 and here (with delay?) at 3:20.

Thanks a bunch for any pointers!

hey guys, any tips on getting drum sounds like Run Away With Me (Carly Rae) or New Romantics (Taylor Swift)

So I do have a Linndrum. but I can never get it close to sounding like the drums in those songs. Any splice sample recommendations or drum machines I should try. Thanks!!

Where to Find Awesome Braams Like These?

The attached video is two braams I heard in trailers that I love and want to use (but can't due to the other sound in the trailer, not to mention copyright). Does anyone know where I can find a good braam pack that has sounds like these? The braam packs I've found online haven't had good ones like these.

Trying to make a different type of sound design tutorial

It's been a while since I decided to make some tutorials like this, but I'm still trying to find my flow + spedup some things but without loosing information. That's the second try. Is it understandable even with me choosing a no talking style?

Btw, this tutorial is from a preset i've crafted for "vita mirae selecta" vitalbanks. They're for free and this tuto focus more on the sound design + teaching my way to do my shit. If you want the full packs, there's the link:

Anyone know how to make basses like this in Operator? (Dark / experimental)

I'm trying to create dark experimental bass hits in Operator like the sound below but I can't quite get them to sound right. I understand distortion effects are applied after the synth in these examples but can anyone give some tips? Thanks!

Where to find classical edm synth sounds like in early Asking Alexandria

Hi I am new to sound design. I’ve only ever used Serum, Vital & Sytrus. I’m really into the colourful synth sounds used in Asking Alexandria’s early discography and other ‘scene’ bands. As well as the sound design in Strawberry hospital’s leads. Basically the kind of sounds you would get on a synthesiser keyboard. Is there any packs you would recommend or anywhere you could point me to find more of them. My issue with a lot of the stuff on Serum’s factory is just that it’s not my style and the majority of it I would never use.

Thank you for any help, sorry if I sound like a noob lol

I created a new pack of stab chords and this was the result (and guess what? Yeah it's for free)

I'm practicing this style of chords that explode in your ears (hence the name supernova) and that's what I've got it in terms of sound design. Is it good? Want it? Just download it here: https://ko-fi.com/s/fbdec24359

I'm also doing some vital tutorials with a huuuge variety of tips and hints. Is you want to see'em, just follow me right there (also free): https://ko-fi.com/vitamirae/posts

And if you liked it and want to support me with any amount, just type the amount when downloading the pack and that amount will be sent to me as a form of appreciation.

Thanks!

Is there any other way than trial and error to find specific sounds?

I heard a short melody in an ad and loved the sound but don’t know how to find it. Is there any way to replicate it either via software or on a keyboard? I also have a screenrecording of the ad.

Is this synth lead I wrote original?

I understand this synth lead has a very simple and generic 2010’s dance pop-esque melody and tone so I am wondering if there is already a song that has this exact melody out there.

Anyway please don’t be rude about how generic it sounds, I’m just seeing if there are any songs out there that have the exact melody or not. Thanks!
