Usually I'll have a general idea of what sound I want to go for, so I don't get distracted or lost in the world of tweaking stuff.

In all seriousness, there is no hard and fast rule for sound design. If you found favor with the dark lord, than the sound you made will be pleasing.

After a quick prayer to Satan, play a few notes on th synth/midi controller. This may take a while, depending on the synth. Roll the die once for every knob on the synth, and turn said knobs in the indicated direction. Acquire an 8 sided die, and assign one number for each direction on a compass (N, NW, W, SW, etc.). Draw a pentagram on your synths, or on the computer chassis in the case of softsynths. After sacrificing the goat to Satan, boot up any synths you may want to use. The first thing that you must do if you want to make a sound from scratch is find a 1 year old unblemished goat. I mean I really don't get the thread if you know about oscillators and filters and adsr where is the problem of getting a sound from scratch? The more oscillators the more complex and richer the sound gets.īut after the oscillators it's all up to filtering or frequency modulation to further shape the sound. you could use a self-oscillating filter but again keyword here is oscillating, get those airwaves moving at certain frequencies, if you'd like to use sine, saw or squarewave is entirely up to your taste in sound or if you are trying to synthesize an existing sound, first analyze what is in that. Relationships of oscillators? to what? well yes you need oscillators to generate a sound from scratch so indeed they are the most important. _what? what do we think about what? what is being said here? what is being asked? Okay simpler question how do you go about starting a sound from scratch? I found that the most important thing is the relationship of Oscillators but didn't find a mention about this in any book or guide. Topic says it but don't tell me it depends on the purity of Saw waveform of said oscillator.Īs I said a crank up the resonance than Release to halfway and Attack on max then I adjust the Decay.or was that before the Attack came down?
