White Noise Buildup

[[email protected]]

Hey guys! Im very new to Ableton (a little experience with different synths in Reason 4 but trying to adjust) and I understood the concept well in Reason, but I want to create a white noise buildup type sound for my tracks. Right now I have Ableton Live 8 and not the Suite edition which comes with Operator (I heard Operator is a good synth to use to build this effect). Any way that I can make this effect without Operator, using the programs that come with Live? Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi,

You might find this video useful You can make lots of build with froze reverb, very similar to white noise.

Wow thaank you thats a blessing!! haha its next to impossible to make a track good if theres no sound like that to get things going. If you could help out quick with a something other than the posting topic- when i try and automate the volume control of a single track in arrangement view, it wont let me. it just comes up gray. im sure once i understand the whole collaboration between arrangement and session view i will understand a bit better but for now.. :S

Top of screen, red button with horizontal lines. "Back to arrangement" button. Turns on anytime you adjust a parameter that is different from that on the arrangement. Also turns on if you use a channel in Session View.

No problem, glad to help

when automating track volume, don't automate the fader. Rather, drop a utility plugin on the track and automate the volume of that. To make the drawing bit easier, group the utility to a rack (right click on it), map the volume to a macro and set the maximum volume to 0 dB.

This way you can change the overall volume of the track while preserving your automation.

edit:
this is better
