What do you call a vocal effect where two female voices spin vertically in tight, opposing loops directly over each ear hole, like four tiny fairies flying in vertical circles right at your eardrums? I am not sure this was done before? I couldn't find any song that does this.

Sound design help

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey guys I’m new to producing and EDM and I just wanted to see if anyone could help me figure out where to start on making leads and sounds like these. I’m not even sure where to start or whether to use serum and sound design or just use plugins on a single sound. If anyone could help or point me in the direction of some packs with sounds like this etc. would be a lot of help.

discussion πŸ—£ Used Copilot to Program My Peak and Actually Learned Something

0 Upvotes

Hey all, I did something that may encourage those early in their programming journey.
Programming my Peak hasn't come as easily to me as it seems to for some. Recently, I used Copilot to walk me through programming the lead sound from "Genius of Love" step by step. Along the way, I asked a lot of questions to make sure I was doing things correctly and to better understand what each control was actually doing.
In the end, it got me close enough that my ear can't really tell the difference from the original, and more importantly, I came away with a much better understanding of how the synth works.
If you're someone who has a basic understanding but gets frustrated trying to figure out what all the knobs and parameters actually do, this can be a great learning tool. It's like getting past the "How do you eat an elephant?" stage. Just taking it one step at a time until things start making sense.

AI won't replace learning synthesis, but it can definitely help bridge the gap between being overwhelmed and actually understanding your instrument.

discussion πŸ—£ Would it be useful a Synth Lead preset that switches between 2 sounds, to make changes on the fly when playing live?

0 Upvotes

A little for fun, a little not, I came up the idea of a synth lead, but it has 2 sounds. By turning a Macro, you can switch from one kind of lead (e.g. a stutter melodic techno lead) to a to pretty different one (e.g. straight sawwave lead or a pluck... )

Would any of you use something like that?

On a live performance it may get handy to have a quick sound change, while in Studio it spares you a track...keeping the same FX chain...

...or maybe 'call and response' melodies... ?

This is intended for vst/soft synths working inside a DAW, rather than hard synths

Did anybody try or made something like this before?
