Wide Stereo Lead




A nice way to widen up your lead sound is to open up two synths with the same preset.

Pan one hard left and the other one hard right.

And then create a small difference to one (synth) side by adding some chorus or for instance an LFO.

Drum Bus EQ settings

Image
Remember that you need to use additive EQ only if necessary or else you’ll end up with a muddy mix, that is why a lot of people recommend subtrative EQ because it’s much safer. So use this approach wisely and keep in mind that this is a guideline. Low-End:  For your drum bus, you won’t need a drastic high-pass filter. Create a small high-pass filter till around 30Hz and not more. Boominess:  Make a small cut in the 60Hz range to remove some boominess. Don’t use a low-shelf EQ, use a bandpass filter with a narrow Q factor. Fullness:  If you have t hin and wimpy drums, make a boost in the 125Hz frequency range. This will add some punch and fullness. Body:  A really small boost in the 250Hz range will add more body and weight helping the drums sound warmer. Boxiness:  Since you’re going to add a lot of frequencies you’ll need a big cut around 500Hz to remove mud and boxiness. Attack & Presence: 2 boosts, one around 1kHz and another...

Klanghelm IVGI 2

Image
Introduction IVGI's base sound is comparable to the DESK mode in the big brother SDRR. Both started with the same base but emerged into different directions. You can think of both as twins, who were separated at birth. IVGI is designed to react dynamically to the input signal. Even the modeled fluctuations react dynamically and also change depending on the drive setting, so that it doesn't get in the way of the SOUND. Stereo tracks benefit from it's modeled crosstalk behavior with controllable level. Just as its big brother SDRR, IVGI features a “Controlled Randomness”, which determines the internal drift and variance inside the unit. It contributes to the liveliness and realness of IVGI's saturation character. All internal processes are modulated to some extent to make this possible. IVGI gives you a sensible amount of controls to manipulate the character of the saturation itself. It offers a unique ASYM MIX kn...

Ableton : Bass Design With Operator

Image
Operator offers a great deal more than just FM leads and pads. Liam O’Mullane has the low-down in this Ableton Live Tutorial With the topic of issue 124’s lead feature being synths, we thought we’d show you around Live’s very own hybrid synth, Operator. Although its name comes from the FM synthesis-based term for an oscillator, Operator can function both as an additive and subtractive synth. In fact, given the less than predictable nature of the alternative Analog synth (which is, of course, part of an analogue synth’s charm), we tend to reach for Operator to create any synth-like sounds when we want 100% predictability. On that note, we’ll look at it as a subtractive synth first to keep things simple while investigating its features. Got ’rithm The four divided sections to either side of Operator’s central display are called Shells. After clicking the bottom right-hand Shell this Global Shell will reveal 11 colourful algorithm symbols across the top of the central displ...
