    The 440hz sine wave method is a game changer learnt something new in every video of yours!

    • @WillHatton
      @WillHatton  Před 3 lety +7

      Save it as a preset bud! I use it in most of my comps!

      Dude boosting at 440 and sampling it… just blew my mind.

    • @benshlanta
      @benshlanta Před rokem

      I wonder if you can make it sound brighter by using a comb filter instead of just cranking up 440Hz…

    • @bleeptwig
      @bleeptwig Před 6 měsíci +1

      Cool idea. Another option here is looking at the peaks the sound already has and accentuating one of those more and then tuning accordingly, rather than just brute forcing out an A.

    You can also use this method with lower frequencies (0-100hz) on drum loops to create sub bass that plays off your drum groove. It will feedback since you spike the resonance but you can automate this for cleaner sub basses.
    Very simple way to add a sub bass over a drum loop without using a synth. =]

    • @tylertucker7820
      @tylertucker7820 Před rokem +1

      this is super creative. Does the sub sound glued so to speak coming from the drums itself?

    • @anhumblemessengerofthelawo3858
      @anhumblemessengerofthelawo3858 Před 4 měsíci +1

      Yes! I figured that out too.
      The great thing about it is that when you create a sub in this way, you can get a lot of dynamic motion. The spike creates a sine wave, but the sustain varies.
      I also like to make a super-spike of EQ of a snare, which creates a wonderful sustained tone, which fits into the track variously as background textures.
      Lastly, normally you can isolate on an EQ the exact frequency selected by you, by clicking and holding the mouse. So, if you record and resample that, that's there's another great, creative way to get a great creative sound.
      Normally by the way, the sound is super full, and loud and resonant. Make textures with mid range frequencies.

  • @blackaddermusic
    @blackaddermusic Před 3 lety +23

    I opened this for something to just have on while I ate my lunch and fully expected it to just be something like layering texture noise against an existing synth or pitched sound. That 440hz trick is absolutely awesome. Great stuff, can't wait to use this.

    @charlieblons4833 Před rokem

    Hey man, great video and thank you for this smart trick ! I was just a bit frustrated because despite being great, the trick allows almost no real time control over the background noises. So what I did was all the same process but without the EQ trick so I have the granular effect on the noises. Then I stacked a wavetable as a rack for the sine wave. This way you can independently process the sine wave and the noises even with several layers of noise (just need a bit of random LFOs on pitch and volume on the sine to replicate the effect of the EQ trick). Cheers !

    All the best. 👍
    P s add a clean digital reverb extra strong, then reverse the sample. Re record that with a digital delay on a new track for some excellent drones and/or pads.
