the background noise in some 90ies trance songs 2021-05-07T20:33:38+00:00 Update: The following sample takes it even a step further. It now contains almost nothing else BUT only the noise I'm after. Almost everything else has been eliminated: https://sndup.net/2g3q *************************************** Let me post this here as well in case someone who's into sampled sounds knows something about this at all. It's the noise they used back then which must be special types of noise as opposed to simply highpassed white noise. Whenever I try to recreate such noise in Serum I get the best results when I use special types of noises like the AirCan types e. g. in combination with finding the right pitch and highpassing it on top. But still, I'm never content and it's just never the same noise I want to get. I'll give you 2 good examples now for the exact noise I'd like to recreate and I'd appreciate any help with this. They must have created it on some kind of hardware system back then. I'd like to know how you would categorize this kind of noise and if there's any free samples or wavetables or presets for it that you know of. The first example is from a song I'm currently interested in. It's the background noise from a Snap song called "Eternity" and you can hear it best from 9-14 seconds in the background of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJver3tNKQw I also isolated the noise from a more HQ sample using an EQ so you could hear it much more clearly here and the above video is only supposed to give you the context: :D https://sndup.net/2g3q I tried to get this kind of noise the other day using Serum. I got closest to it with a type of noise called "AirCan5" or "CymLoop" in combination with a HP filter 12db/oct with resonance, tried to pitch it up, tried some EQing... still not REALLY the sound! Then I tried to search for special noise plugins or tutorials on noise online - no luck! The second example is the background noise in the aaah sound from Binary Finary - the last thing that has remained a mystery while we were trying to recreate that sound. Here's that good old classic once again for your reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8IVONhSEY0 Hear it best if you skip to around 1:05 min. Noise in trance songs seems more difficult to reconstruct than the lead or pad sounds which came as a real surprise to me. There's obviously not just white and pink noise but it seems to be a complete topic of its own. juno987654321 https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=452463

It was a common technique in the nineties, to use x0x hihats for triggering a sidechain gate (aka. noise gate). It doesn't necessarily have to be the hihats you can hear in the track. It sounds very sharp, I would start with 808 (closed) hihats....
