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. Recommended to be played in a higher octave. *Check out the audio example: "Melodic Supersaw":https://soundation.com/user/CrescendosProfile/track/melodic-supersaw-example* h3. How To: Create a Heavy Bass by Tydal Wave 1)Open Simple Channel 2)Oscillators-Triangle, Saw, Sine,Triangle 3)Set volume on Oscillators 1 and 2 to 100, and 3 and 4 to 0 4)Set Pitch on Oscillators 1 and 2 to -24,with detune on number 2 at +27 cents 5)In filter envelope, set Decay to 73% 6)In Amp envelope, set Decay and Sustain to 100%. Set Release to 13% 7)On filter, set cuttof to 15% and Resonance to 3% 8)Add a filter. Lowpass, cuttoff around 820Hz, resonance 100% 9)Add a second filter, Highpass, cutoff around 60 Hz, resonance 100% 10)Add Distortion, Foldback type 11)Add reverb, Size 89% Damp 67% Width 100% Wet 9% and Dry 100% 12)Add a second Reverb, do not modify it 13)Add yet another filter, lowpass, cutoff around 14000 HZ, Resonance 15% 14)Add a Fakie, make no modifications 15)Add a compresser Attack 9 % Release 12% Ratio 70% Threshold 70 % and Gain to 58 % 16)Load up an new instrument channel with GM-2, set it to sine wave and copy the notes *Check out the audio example: "Heavy Bass":https://soundation.com/user/TydalWave/track/heavy-bass-example* h3. How To: Create a Dream Synth by KRackEdEkHo 1)Load up the Supersaw Instrument in the blue channel. 2)Add Filter, Reverb with Lush tail preset, Delay, Compressor with Electric Guitar preset, Phaser with Subtle preset and a Limiter to the FX chain. *Check out the audio example: "Dream Synth":https://soundation.com/user/KRackEdEkHo/track/example-dream-synth* h3. How To: Create a Gun Shot by MΛ➩ŁΔCҚY 1)Load up the SPC Instrument in the blue channel. 2)Chose the "electro house" kit. 3)Select the clap and put the pitch all the way to the left-side. (-24) And put the gain up to 100%. 4) Add reverb for nice echo effect. *Check out the audio example: "Gun Shot":https://soundation.com/user/ma-lacky/track/gun-shot-example* h3. How To: Create a talking bass by BackBonez 1) Open WUB machine on distorted throat 2) Make oscillator 1 a square oscillator and put it on -12 and put PAN to center 3) Make oscillator 2 a saw oscillator and put it on +12 4) Make a triangle LFO at 19% speed 5) Go to FX and add a degrader of choice. Preferably wrecked 6) Add a vocals reverb if you want to. *Check out the audio example: "Talking Bass":https://soundation.com/user/BackBonezUK/track/heavy-talking-bass-tutorial* h3. How To: Create a sick wobble by SiKKaH 1. Open the Wub Machine. 2. In the Analog Filter Section, change it to lowpass, and change the cutoff to 20hz. 3. In the LFO Section set the Speed to 21% and the Type of wave to the first one. 4. On OSC1 change the wave type to the first one, pitch to -21 and OSC Shape to 35 5. On OSC2 change pitch to -12, change the type to the third one, 6. 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*

Summer Dance Contest

The Final 3 have been picked. But before I announce the winners I'd like to thank every single person that entered this year, as without you guys the contest wouldn't be possible. 1 - Summer Paradise by Phoenix - I love the tropical feel to your track, not something many users here can pull off nicely. Well done on first place, please contact me for your packs. 2 - Lavish by Ozcii - It's so interesting how you can incorporate your typical chill sounds into a banging house track. Super nice! Please contact me for your pack. 3 - Mind Games by Xplour - The melodies in Mind Games are so catchy, I had them in my head all day the first time I heard it. Plus the beat really gives off a summer-feeling vibe, big ups. Also congrats to NKM and Sam Pugh for reaching the final 5, see you guys next year. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Welcome, everybody, to the *third* Summer Dance contest, the only contest on Soundation to find the best artist of the so called subgenre 'Summer Dance'. To keep it simple, I'm going to allow the same 4 genres as last year, plus two: Summer Dance, Deep House, Progressive House, Future House, Indie/Melodic House and Tropical House. If you are confused by these genres here are some examples: Summer Dance ~ Alex Adair - Make Me Feel Better (Don Diablo & CID Remix) Deep House ~ Azealia Banks - Chasing Time (LiTek Remix) Progressive House ~ Martin Garrix - Forbidden Voices Future House ~ Spraynpray - Police Indie/Melodic House ~ Bolier & Natalie Peris - Forever And A Day (LVNDSCAPE Remix) Tropical House ~ Coldplay - Midnight (Kygo Remix) *Why Summer Dance?* Now that spring has arrived, the weather is starting to get better and soon when summer arrives the weather will be brilliant. So why not prepare for summer with the ultimate Summer Dance track? *Info:* You have until 29th May to create your best Summer Dance track. I will pick my five favourite tracks. I will then give you guys three weeks (19th June) to vote for your favourite track. Then there will only be three remaining tracks (until next year), first, second and third place. *Rules:* 1. Criticism is allowed, but no putting anybody down, no matter what! 2. Swearing is not banned, but please don't overdo it. 3. If you want to post a WIP, please delete it once you have posted the full track. 4. Please only post ONE track. If you decide to post more than one track none of them will be judged. 5. Creating your own MIDI notes is recommended. You can use samples, but leaving them unedited gives you less of a chance to win. You can use any studio. 6. Tracks can be any length, but the recommended length is between 2 minutes and 5 minutes. 7. Tracks have to be posted via Soundation, 'click the link' tracks won't be able to win, no matter how good they are. *Prizes:* *1st Place* - 3 soundpacks* of your choice, collab if wanted, shoutout on social media and bragging rights. *2nd Place* - 1 soundpack* of your choice, collab if wanted, shoutout on social media and bragging rights. *3rd Place* - Collab if wanted, shoutout on social media and bragging rights. *Maximum £5 per soundpack (e.g. the £4.50 soundpacks) - If a collab track gets 1st or 2nd one soundpack per person. Most importantly, have a blast :)
