Electro House pluck

[bosconianarts]

Big Jack... awesome sound. It's about 90% to Glenn Morrison. However, it's that 10% that also makes it sound good because it's more your-own sound.

Here's my attempt. It's basically a patch I created so that I can make variations from that instead of just using a sound that's already been done.

OK.... I am new to the bored and have been using ableton for quite awhile... Is the any way that this sound can be with ableton alone??? I have trying to figure out a way for months to replicate this and I must say you guys have it down all the f***in' way but what exactly do I need to make this? Any help would be extremly helpful and I know everyone has been talking about this sound for quite awhile but I really want to get this down!

Without giving away everything Glenn says, "It's the right combination of hardware (lots of it), proper compression"

I used Pro-53(my own mod patch which uses patch 225 "Cutting Through" as a template in combo with any moderate compressor and a 2-4-2(.52%, 0%, .52%) synced filter delay. I wish I had a screen shot, but I don't and I'm on the road to boot. The effects in two of the most popular/recent songs that use this effect: "Contact" by GM/Deadmau5 and "Twilight" by Adam K and Soha is formed by a continual ramping up of cutoff (over 4-bars) in combo with about 10-20% of constant resonance. Most of the pre-production groundwork is done in Ableton.

I don't know if this helps, but I hope it does.

''2-4-2(.52%, 0%, .52%) synced filter delay''

what is this??? is it just a filter with a delay after it?

Ditto.

Any chance you could give us an explanation for this pls: ''2-4-2(.52%, 0%, .52%) synced filter delay''

Yo BigJack,

The Z3ta "more chord playing" preset def sounds a lot like Glenn's! Did you tweak it a little more or just sidechaining and manipulating the cutoff. Oh and I was wondering what chord progression you were playing.

Thanx,

my progression goes on.

CORDPROGRESSION AND SIDECHAIN ... thats it

[jtxx000]

Here's my attempt: http://annoware.com/temp/ThatDeadmau5Sound.mp3

The thing about this type of sound is that in many ways the effects matter more than the synth itself.

Here's the synth by itself with no processing: http://annoware.com/temp/SoloSynth.mp3
Not very interesting, eh?

[masterlup]

nice pluck sound... love the sound when you open it up... you like to share the patch ?

[jtxx000]

Here's the Zebra 2 patch: http://www.annoware.com/temp/ThatDeadmau5Sound.h2p
Here's the effects chain that I used after it:

Here are the chords:


The synth sound itself is just layered detuned saws with an analogue sounding filter. The filter cutoff envelope and the main amplitude envelope both have zero attacks, relatively short decays, medium sustains, and moderate releases. You don't want the release time to be too short or it won't turn into the pad type sound when you open the filter up. I also added a little bit of Zebra's chorus.

For the effects, I have an EQ to boost the highs slightly to add some sparkle, a compressor to add some bite, a ping pong delay, a reverb, and a compressor side-chained to the kick. The side chain compressor is essential to make it duck and suck after every kick. Make sure that the release is long enough so that it pumps properly with the rest of the track.

I have got to say that that is the most concise and informative answer that I have seen on here for a long time. Thankyou for taking the time to do that, I, and I'm sure others really appreciate it.

thx again JTX000.
