Alien Translators

Let's be frank here......... Dubstep is just alien language. Those who are gifted in the ways of making dubstep are the only ones that can communicate and understand the aliens. This group contains those people. This group contains those translators. If you want in, just tell me, but do it in a language only we can understand. Akghrajtr!

Andreas Tips N' Tricks

Hello everyone. I'm Andreas and I worked as the Production Manager here at Soundation/PowerFX. Part of my work was constantly testing and developing Soundation's features and trying to come up with ideas of how we can do things better. While doing this I sometimes stumble across some really cool ways of creating sounds and I thought I should start to share them with you guys. If you have any tips you would like to share pm me with a short description (what it is, how you would use it and how you create it) and link to an audio example. h3. How To: Create a Powerful Gliding Sub by Tydal Wave 1) Open the mono 2) Change it to Preset 1. 3)Add lowpass filter, keep cutoff under 150hz (around 60 is the best) 4) Try to only use the 3rd and 2nd octaves, those work best for subs. 5) Add an equalizer and have the low side no smaller than 40 and no larger than 75. 6) (Optional) Add reverb and fiddle with it until you find a sound that you like (Brass preset is what works best for me) 7) Have fun! *Check out the audio example: "Powerful Gliding Sub":https://soundation.com/user/Tydal-Wave/track/powerful-gliding-sub-example* h3. How to create a Melodic SuperSaw by Crescendo: 1. Add a SuperSaw channel. 2. Open up Edit Instrument on the SuperSaw Channel 3. Turn decay and sustain to 100% 4. Turn Detune down to 5% and turn down release to 10%. 5. Keep attack down to 0%. FX: 1. Add a Reverb with the Huge Tail preset and turn down the Size by 10% 2. Add a delay with the Oh Yeah preset and turn up the Wet by 5% OPTIONAL: Add a compressor with the Bass Running Hot preset.

Change MSL, Filth, and Unison to fit your liking, and enjoy! *Check out the audio example: "Sick Wobble":https://soundation.com/user/SiKKaH/track/example-sick-wobble* h3. How To: Create a choir-like synth by XJM This is excellent for those looking for a deep, "heavenly" choir like sound. There are two ways to generate this but the easiest way is with the SuperSaw. The two most important parts you need are two filters, one Lowpass with CutOff around 667Hz and Resonance around 60% and one Highpass with Cutoff around 819Hz and Res around 90%. (This is called a bandpass filter) Release should be raised so you get that tail at the end. Raise the attack to wherever feels most comfortable to you so long as it is NOT staccato (short attacks). Tune the SuperSaw up a little bit but keep it detuned. You can add a Reverb to make it sound as if it's being "sung" in a church or cathedral of some kind. Best range for this sound is between C4 and C5 give or take one or two notes. You can also do this with the Simple virtual instrument just set everything to Saw and detune. Same effects and instrument settings. *Check out the audio example: "Synth Choir":https://soundation.com/user/dj-xjm/track/malechoir-ahh-example* h3. How To: Create a huge sub bass Fat sub basses are of course the foundation of any bass driven music style such as Drum n Bass or Dubstep but can be used in virtually any music style for great effect. If your bass sound lack power layer this sound with your original bass and it will sound positively huge! Ok here is how to do it. Load The Wub Machine and select the Clean Sub preset. Now add the Degrader FX to the channel and choose the preset Bad Recording. After Degrader load a Filter and choose Low Pass with a CutOff frequency of 500Hz. *Check out the audio example: "BIG BOOOOOOOOOM!":https://soundation.com/user/andreas/track/big-boom*

ProSounds

It's really happening. For the uninitiated -- ProSounds was a yearly tournament I used to host way back before the original Team passed the site over to IAwake. The purpose of ProSounds was to inspire users to push the limits of Soundation and see who can make the most professional sounding song. According to possibly the most prolific user on the site, DUTCH, "It was also seen as the biggest test of skill in contest form" Currently working on crafting up a new scoring system. I've missed you all <3
