Just curious if anyone might have any advice on creating dark howling wind type sounds using NI Massive? I've managed to only go so far. The rise and falls are a bit repetitious. Also, there is an annoying little artifact in the background that I can't seem to get rid of. :dog:

The preset can be found here - http://we.tl/nEMSWLsHna

Any help would of course be greatly appreciated!

Just off the top of my head:

Noise - choose a colour you like. Turn off the other oscs.

Fiddle around with a BP filter in the higher parts of the frequency specturm to try to capture the 'whooshy' part of the sound. You might also like to route the filters in parallel and have another BP filtering down lower to give the sound a bit more body. Modulating the filter balance might help here too.

Adding some modulation to the freq cutoff should give some desired movement ie. howl, either using an unsync'd LFO or automating the filter cutoff with automation. Don't forget to tinker with the bandwidth setting and resonance.

Hope that helps some. ;)
