Synth Sound

Post by Ascot » Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:15 am

Hello

Can someone please tell me how I can acheive this synth sound ive been hearing it all over techno these days and im at a bit of a loss how to make it myself.

Its the synth line in the background of this track it sounds like it might be sidechained.

Also on this track it starts around the 4 minute mark.

Thanks

The Adam Beyer track sounds like a saw wave sound with low pass filter and sidechain.

Load up sylenth or similar and get a big saw wave rave/trance sound. add a bit of reverb then sidechain it to the kick drum.
Use the filter cut off to take out the high end. If you want it to not pump at the breaks like in the second video. Switch off the compressor at the breakdowns.
