There was a tutorial a while back on this forum for making your own score-style percussion hits. Starting from a plain rimshot and processing the hell out of it to make this huge metal percussions...

Now that sounds like great fun... But I have searched the forum up and down for every combination of "percussion", "orchestra" and "movie/score/film/...", and I mainly end up in this thread???
A link, pleeease?

Same problem here. In my opinion this is the biggest problem with kvr, the search function doesn't really work....

I would also love to take a look at this tutorial.
I think I found G-Town (http://gtown.has.it/), but the site is down. I'm wondering if Sample Fusion is part of Imageline(FL). I couldn't find it.
The topic is interesting to me, so I'd love any info you've got.

I actually do this all the time, and i agree it is very rewarding. Recording little metalic, glass etc percussive sounds and going to work on them can make all sounds of wonderful filmscore like hits. The trick is to pitchshift and layer in my experience.Big Tick wrote:There was a tutorial a while back on this forum for making your own score-style percussion hits.

BT actually did something interesting in his Fast and the Furious score - he replaced all the orch percussion with parts from a wrecked car! Then he recorded it all seperately and process the living poo poo out of it. Sounded great to.

Can't find the damn thing. I remember it involved lots of pitch shifting, compression, EQ and reverb...Caleb wrote:Mistah Tick!

Here's something that may be useful, though:

Not finding this tutorial was really pissing me off... So I plugged my brains I remembered the final file was somewhere on my hard disk, so here you are...
Mighty Hits, or a tutorial on how to reproduce the giant and massive reverberd percussion you hear in some film-score music.
In case you'd be interested, here's my own 2 minutes rendition, starting from a dorumalia sample. I actually did it all in soundforge:
- pitch shift the initial sample 2 octaves down
- compress it (using sonitus:fx multiband)
- run it through project 5 HF exciter
- process it with Sony ACoustic Mirror (or SIR), using the "canyon" impulse from the free Prosoniq collection.

PS. Feel free to explore that AlchemyStudio site, by the way. There's some nice stuff hiding in there.

Listen up ya'll... just run your sample thru Metasynth a few times... everything's in there to mangle it beyond recognition!!

Dude you;ve just made me SOOO green. I f**king want Metasynth so bad it aint true, but no Mac unfortnately!
That said, I can get into enough trouble on my wee Pc.
With regards to this technique, I'll tell you a little secret:
Take the same sample, split it over numous tracks and pitchshift each one. Then compress and EQ each track to emphasise the desired element. For example, the top one only needs to be a small 'tink' - pitchshift up, EQ out all the bottom, and compress like a tight hat. The bottom one needs only to be a deep 'umph' etc
This is how those sounds are made. Run the composite hit through limiters, flangers, reverbs etc and you have Distorted Reality in no time!

So, anybody tried the mighty hits recipe yet ? Would be great to post your own creations.... we'd have a big collection of hits to map in sfz, how cool...
