Making a huge impact
Posted on: 12.11.2013 by Reatha Belfield
Hey guys,

for my breakdown, I want to do a big IMPACT that sounds like this:

at 0:30 sec. I've made one but not as punchy as this one... Can someone help me, I've been trying in massive but not so perfect...

THanks

LPF the hell out of it, add some reverb/tape delay and there you have it. For maximum impact, you could try leading into it with a reverse clap and/or cymbal.

Throwing a little bit of white noise in there doesn't hurt, either...

an 808 sub bass is pretty much a sine wave with a pitch envelope, which is what OP was asking about - read his post he says at 0:30. I dunno why you guys are complicating stuff with a bunch of processing and reverb and stuff when all he wants is a sine wave with decaying pitch

Use reverb/lowpass filter... Epicverb is a nice free reverb.
