KuruPrionz Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Could be anything, a way you use a particular microphone, some random object you've recorded that sounded awesome, etc. One of mine is half of a double neck Framus steel guitar, played with a heavy steel bar and an E-Bow. It's fun and has it's own sounds. With the 2 extra low strings I can conjure up quite a range. Photo attached. Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.

Dave Bryce Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Most of my studio tricks have to do with effects. DOm;t really have too many unique sounding acoustic instruments. dB Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuruPrionz Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 I have some fun effects "secret weapons" but not sure how secret they are. Parallel processing is probably my favorite one, I like to keep an unaffected track and then I have more control over the mix. I may be a "preset surfer" sometimes but when you mix different presets from different plugins that isn't really a preset anymore, is it? Add in blending with the original signal and ??? Plus, it's fun!!!! Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analogika Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Need synth fat that doesn't sound "synthey" plastic? Korg PolySix. Dimension D for width. Also, Dynacord SRS-56 stereo analog delay on anything. Super nice. 1 Quote "The Angels of Libra are in the European vanguard of the [retro soul] movement" (Bill Buckley, Soul and Jazz and Funk) The Drawbars | off jazz organ trio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benedict RM Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Mine is a couple of things, I have an approach of building the scene & story so I don't mix from technical formulas as much as use what I know to help deliver what I feel. It is not a secret, merely how I was trained but that seems very different from what others seem to be doing (or at least talking about) I try to avoid the fashionable formulas. While everyone is using exactly the same faux-Juno sounds over and over, I am making my sounds from scratch. Yes it does mean that people don't get the same RetroBlaze thing they were expecting but... At least people looking for something original get that. I use Echoes a lot and often use the delays I have built myself so that my sense of space in a mix is definitely different. It also helps with mixing client vocals that are bit loose with tune without having to Auto/MeloTune which makes for a nicer result. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
