How to make the sine pad in 48 Freestyle - Cdot Honcho

[bluejollyranchers]

I really love the sound design in this track:



I am trying to remake the beat for fun but am having a very hard time understanding how this sound was created. I am fairly new to sound design.

It sounds like a wide sine wave with a little attack, reverb, delay, and compression, but when I make it in serum, it sounds so basic and weak. I would like to try to make the melody and sound as accurately as possible, im not sure what I’m missing.

It might sound very simple to you all but it’s hard for me to get accurate.

I’ve been to several studios in Chicago to learn how to make this sound, I’ve tried to reach out and hire sound designers, I’ve tried to ask on reddit, I’ve watched many youtube videos and attempted to create the sound a bunch of times. I can’t make it sound identical, or even close to this.

I would appreciate it if somebody with more experience can chime in and tell me how this sound can be created for my remake. Thanks!
