bit of a techno production question.uk minamal would you use reverbs on the drum ellements like plate on snare and kick or would that be more kind of german sounding. and crome plated techno kit would that be more suitable for the uk minamal tech sound and how do you get a crome plated sound. is that reverb :?: . and with some sort of compression on drums perc fills bass. would anyboby be kind anoth to explain abit on compression for the the minamal uk techno sound.

thanks

Don't use formulas, just mess around and see what sounds good.

Personally I don't use much reverb at all, especially not on drums.

Most of my kit I run via MIDI and don't have enough effects/channels for individual drum sounds but last night whilst messing around with a track I used the sampled snare off my TR606 (which sounds pretty weak) and stuck a reverb on it and it really made it sound fat and it had never occured to me to use reverb before.

If your going to use reverb on drums it can get really muddy sounding so try not to mix too much. Gated reverbs are also good for drums and try to use short decay times, but as I said before - just mess around, tweak those knobs and find something cool!

There's plenty of threads on this forum about compression.

keep the cutoff on your reverb above the bass region, ruffly above say 400 Hz. that'll take care of a good amont of possibly occuring mudd using verb on drums.

Wise words indeed.

The techno sound is what you make it, thats the beauty of techno.

i subscribe to the derrick may definition - "Techno is the sound you never heard before"

i know its cheesy, but it seems to work.

These are the things that matter to me.

A. make a sound interesting
B. Make a sound memorable
C. Make a sound clear as a bell (if this is what you require)
D. Make a sound muddy (if this is what you require)
E. Make it fat
F. Make it thin
G. Make it fun
H. NEVER make it boring
I. Give it swing
J. Tighten it up
K. Cross Genre's
L. Be obvious

As you can see, these concepts are seperate from any specific mixing skills in terms of hard and fast NO NO's from the world of mxing down etc etc.

above all this and holdings hands with these concepts is... BE CREATIVE! you dont have to do what people did before.

just ask richard d james.

i use loads of reverb all over the place. even on kicks/bass.
one of the things that has held me back the most has been asking 'should i be doing this?' and thinking it was too unorthodox. just do whatever you can to get the sound you want. i wouldn't worry too much about muddyness etc at first, you can alway clean stuff up later....

i've read that reverb can actually add intelligibility. with a dry sound, you only get one chance to hear it. but with a reverb or delay, your brain has a chance to piece things together that it might have missed.

think about contrast. reverb will push a sound further back in the mix. u should have ur 2 most important elements at the front of the mix (usually kick n bass for techno). Just a rough guide though.

that's a good point. anything that adds contrast will give the sounds more separation and definition, and some dry sounds are really important. there's more to bringing out a sound than just pushing up the fader.

RDR
25-02-2005, 03:08 PM
Totally. this is why i use reverb as sparingly as possible. its all very well blathering it in 'verb for home hi-fi listening and wierdness, but most of my stuff is composed with the d/floor and PA in mind and they are pretty unforgiving when it comes to too much verb.

as with other things it's contrasts... v true.

cheers guys,
i havnt been using much reverb. bit of reverse reverb on the kick and perc. i'll tri some gated aswell. it can be quite hard to get the sounds the way i want them. just kind of getting stuck on wot works and wot doesnt. kind of thinking if i can get my sounds down to the minamal techno grinding then i can gro my style in to it! thanks peeps

"i've read that reverb can actually add intelligibility. with a dry sound, you only get one chance to hear it. but with a reverb or delay, your brain has a chance to piece things together that it might have missed." - Evil G

(ok, so i have not workeed out how to use the quote function)

that makes sense, evil - for me, reverb is often about setting a space for a sound, giving the sound some dimension, stopping it sounding flat ... i use rvb on most sounds, but i tend to back it right off half the time, leaving the decay fairly short, so that it is not obvious - this gives sounds more movement, shape, size, and stops the mix being washed out - too much rvb will hide a sound, move it back in relation to other sounds and make the mix muddy - too little will lead to a flat sound

^^^ ya, except for "special effect" reverbs that you'll have stretch out for a long time, the "right amount" of reverb is something that gives enough to be picked up by the subconscious, but not enough to be really obvious and get in the way of other sounds.

nova
28-02-2005, 11:52 PM
yeah man sounds like i should be using reverb more. wot sort of mak fx units are you getting your reverbs from. wot do you think on using the reverb plugins off logic? could you giv me some sort idea of how you would use it in a track. bit hard to say i spect putting it on wots right at the time. like somthing like this.

kick- reverse reverb. any compression. say you had two or there kicks.
hi hats- some with abit of hall reverb. some with out
percs- say dist. delay, on all the tight ones. and some big reverb on the lower percs that only sound a couple of times in the tune.

bass- id say no but yeah would of thout people might put a touch on.

cheers guys

Metadog
28-02-2005, 11:57 PM
that's true about the special fx rvbs, evil - i have been getting into chorusing rbvs, shifting the rvb about - subtle changes that go on usually without the listener being directly aware of it, to make a repetitive track more interesting

nova
01-03-2005, 12:10 AM
chorus is kind of a strange fx for me. wot i mean is that its not as obvious as delay reverb paser and flanger. but it is like a flanger kind ov. could you tell me wot its doing to the sound if you could meta. coz when put abit to much feedback or somthing sounds quite detuned. not like a flanger. i take its shifting at from left to right but with alittle more then that

machina
01-03-2005, 12:22 AM
chorus is kind of like unison - it just layers a slightly modulated and delayed signal over the top of the existing one.

machina

nova
01-03-2005, 12:28 AM
thanks man

nova
01-03-2005, 12:35 AM
is that to widen the sound shifting left to right. or like unison mak it abit more richer. sounds like it does both?

machina
01-03-2005, 12:45 AM
yeah - it's a little bit of both... just think of it like a group of people singing as opposed to just one person singing - there's a little delay between singers, a little detuning, plus it makes the sound a little 'fatter' in that there is more sound.

machina

i thought everyone did - where do you all get your ideas from, then?

i am up to page 72, but i dunno what i'll do when i get to the last page - i wonder if henry or geezer have written any supplements or advanced editions?

i think you can send off for a copy from www.yeahright.co.uk

:dontevengothere: ;) :lol:

chorussing reverbs - to get a shifting effect, you want to use a slow speed setting - listen closely to some of geezers clap patterns, for instance, you can hear the reverb shifting away in the background

i'd tend not to chorus the actual drum sound, just the reverb, to get it to shift about a bit

now, chorussing bass - that's one way to phatten things up - careful you don't wash it out too much, tho!

holotropik
02-03-2005, 05:27 AM
then once you get reverb worked out....

....you find out that every piece of hardware and software does it differently and with its own unique character. phew!!

one track can use several different types of reverb for different sounds. i have one I like to use on vocals, one for hats, one for reverse and another one for percussion.

when it comes to minimal, reverb is your best friend ;)

Nova, you should find some friends into making techno and try working with them on some stuff. It's great seeing how other people work and you can learn alot that way, trade ideas/tricks/etc.

Ever seen the old skool 'stutter' effect of using the main volume control MIDI data in your sequencer? (Actually on the topic of reverb, I wonder if I could do that with my MidiVerb...)

Or the cheap n cheerful phaser effect by triggering the same sample twice at almost the same time?

nova
03-03-2005, 08:16 PM
hi man, old skool stutter effect na aint hear of that sounds goods. can you explain wot your doing with the stutter. like wot it does. hey man wots the midiverb. heard of them alesis reverbs them little units. you guys using them?. yeah man need more friends into making music. living in little town thers only a couple of us making tech.

04-03-2005, 11:25 AM
hey acidmutant, wots the cheap and cheerful phaser effect?. hey man you sound like you got some good tricks up your sleve. haha.
ive been messing with making techno for a few years now. kind of been teaching myself. had different bits of kit over the years. started on a mc303 with su10 sampler. then ended up getting rid of those and got a yamaha remix and a akai s3000. and got more synths. then needed a better sequencer to midi it all. so i got a macg4 powerbook with amt8 midi. so i had enoth midi ports for it all. but since changing to the mac and logic been having probs getting logic working right. so yeah dude need to hav more friends making tech. thats funny how you could tell by wot i was righting. olny recently got on the internet aswell but has helped loads. yeah man i need to collaberate with peeps

use reverb as a send effect instead of an insert (not sure how to do this in logic). this way you can alter the verb sound without effecting the original signal....

nova

07-03-2005, 01:07 AM
to chorus a reverb in logic you could send the original sound to a bus that has reverb on an insert and also has chorus on the next insert down

AcidMutant
07-03-2005, 11:32 AM
acidmutant could explain them two tricks you mentioned dude. more so the sutter. i like little trick'e bits in the tunes. cool.

Sorry for the delay...

To do a stutter you need to find the control parameter on the MIDI track in your sequencer called MAIN VOLUME (number 7) - it should be in the note editor bit, sort of where you edit velocities. If your on Cubase there's a drop down selector.

Then using the edit tools draw full volume all the way across but where you want a stutter drop the volume to zero for say a 16th or a 32nd then back up to full volume (it helps if your editor allows you to quantise this data).


For the cheap phaser - use your sampler and have the same patch setup on 2 seperate MIDI channels, then play the same note data over both MIDI channels. As there's going to be a slight delay (due to the data being serial down the wire) then the 2 samples will be played slightly out of phase. You can control the sound a bit more by delaying the start of one of the note blocks (you go to where it says start time and slowly increase the time to get different phasing amounts).

nova
07-03-2005, 06:21 PM
cheers thanks acid mutant. i'll hav a blast at them two. im on logic man. quite simler to cubase. so i should be able to quantize the stutter. got hyper editor on logic with velocities volumes and things. so i'll hav a go at it man. thanks again dude

nova
07-03-2005, 06:33 PM
yeah man was tring that. reverb and a chorus plugins. so that works the same then as having chorus on the reverb plungin. checked the manaul for logic about sending effects and thats right just gotta set the effects on the busses like metta said. when you guys are eq'n wot time in the track do you start. like as you go. or when you got most the sounds down and playing how you want it?. and are you eq'n from a mixing desk or from channel eq plunins?.

that sutter effect would it be aplyed to a sound on a midi channel. or on a midi part but not playing any sound as such. but aplying a stutter to the main volume. the whole of the track?

Yes it's the main volume control on a MIDI channel - this is different from the velocity. You can only set the velocity when you key-on a note but the volume is a continuous controller. For best effects I suggest you use it on some kind of choir or string/pad type sound/chords. If you do the edit on a different editor track but the same MIDI channel you can just make a small rhythmic effect over say a bar then copy that section and repeat it whilst playing different notes, etc. from the other track.

loopdon
09-03-2005, 10:30 PM
man, so many questions...

i have a hell of a lot to ask, but not a that tempo :clap: ;)

recycle will split up sounds as slices, those can then also be extracted as *.rex files for further use in other vsti and stuff.

that's prob. no news to you, well it can't really cut out background noises, that's a somewhat tricky subject anyhow, i would mainly go by filters and eqs to reduce it to the sound that makes the sample special, without too much background noise. try some mid/stereo decoders (i posted some in the free vst thread by voxengo), maybe the background is (in lack of better words) differently 'panned', so reducing it to the mid parts could do it, perhaps, i think the plugin 'contrast' to be found in the grm tools pak if i remember correctly could be worth trying.

that's if you can't work it out by cutting the sound up and reducing it to the sections you want and or eq/filter....

haha tempo ;) . yes man spilting up sounds is the 1 dude. heard some samples before that must of been rip out of a tune. like the hoovers out of 9bar. they must of split it up with recycle or fruity slicer to get just the hoover out. how do ya doit?

recycles smart love the way it changes tempo saves as rex then lets ya open it in logics audio and further adjust the tempo and it stays in time. thats wicked. no more lose loops for me :lol:

ahh right so a single sound can be extracted from a loop as long as it clean to start with. like just that hit in the loop. not sounding with anything else. or does it split into component sounds ie hats kicks synth etc? to extract like say you wanted a bongo hit out a loop but it was sounding with somthing else like a kick. would you be able to get bongo out.

Basically if any frequecies are shared by the sounds (Bongo, bass etc) in the same point in time of the sample. You can't really extract one without taking some of the unwanted sound aswell.

if you have the full version on a cd and the same without the voice (instrumental, eh) you can get the voice out, too.

have a look at some pages dealing with mashups n bootlegs, there are acapella sites as well, enter 'acapella' ((+ artist name perhaps) into a filesharing prog? you want them - then hunt them down. can't get everything prechewed :crackup:

nova
