Distorted Supersaw-Esque Sound?
Distorted Supersaw-Esque Sound? Posted on: 01.10.2012 by Fonda Esry A la DJ Fresh 'The Power'? The crazy synth in the intro when the singing starts. I made a supersaw in Massive, but I can't quite get the grittiness of that specific sound. Any suggestions? I'm believeing sub-basses and stuff like that, but I'm not sure. Mine currently sounds a little weak and cheesh lol. Thanks guys, any assistance is appreciated. | |

| Queen Zachariasen 01.10.2012 | The main thing with saws is wide chords. At least across two octaves to fill it out, then some sub bass underneath to strengthen the root. That vibrato is created by the phasing of the detuned saws, so play with the fine pitch adjustments. Just remember that the bass is better to be a soft sine wave to fill the tone, and still let the saws sit on top and ride the waves of the bass. Best analogy, the saw is a surfboard on a breaking wave. You have the sub bass as the wave, the lead of the saw is the surf board, and the top end resonance is the breakwater. Add a tiny bit of noise in and you have a complete sound, but that's not what you're looking for in this tone from the song you referenced. |
