Author Post Ciaran Cool Steppa Registration Date: 25-04-2009 Posts: 248 Helpfulness rating:  Just wondering how you would make the old skool rave sounds that were commonly used in, well, rave music. I mean the buzzy sorta sounds and also those hoover things. Are they sawtooth waves but ones that have had plenty of distortion and effects added? Just guessing .. Would I be able to make sounds like them with Reason 3? Thanks ... P.S. In old skool jungle (Omni Trio, perhaps 2 Bad Mice, etc) did they use the amen break, but pitched up, as the beat? __ CtMc 14-10-2009 23:48 Friscko Aron Tinnitus Registration Date: 12-03-2005 Posts: 4,467 Helpfulness rating:  sawtooths detuned from each other. add some distortion to taste, a little pinch of a good filter and top it of with some eq, to bring out the nice sounding frequencies and cut out the muddy ones. __ www.myspace.com/arontinnitus www.myspace.com/djfriscko 14-10-2009 23:59 Friscko Aron Tinnitus Registration Date: 12-03-2005 Posts: 4,467 Helpfulness rating:  or get an Roland Alpha Juno 2.

I knew I wasn't the only one. There is actually a patch built into the reason sound banks for the Hoover. It is actually quite good, but to make it sound better (like in hardcore/jungle), put the combi through some fx like delay, reverb and filters. Lots of people complain about the Reason banks. But at the end of the day, they are just like coloured paints on a canvas. by mixing one paint with another, you can create a far more interesting picture. __ 15-10-2009 10:54 Crispy Liquids Liquid Funkateer Registration Date: 22-05-2005 Posts: 251 Helpfulness rating:  I think it's mostly daring to detune more than you would normally if you're using FL there's also a wicked generator called Envelope Controller, it allows you to make internal controllers (activated by sending midi to them) with great flexibility: Envelopes, LFO's, whatever you could wish for __ Crispy Liquids on Soundcloud Facebook Myspace 18-10-2009 00:03 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Production questions & answers » Old Skool!
