LAIDBACK LUKE DROP EFFECT

tnismo88 · Post by **tnismo88** » Sat Dec 13, 2008 11:03 pm

sup guys currently working on a track and i learned how to reproduce the bass/lead sound that you hear in songs such as "show me love" and "bring the house down" by laidback luke.

My question here is in the song "bring the house down" there is an effect like a crash but it sounds like a wish wash sound that makes the drop more effective. I currently have that bass sound but i need something like that sound to make it more dynamic.

Possibly reverse crash, or crash gated for 4 loops? any ideas how to make this drop sound more dynamic?

much love
Tarek

add some effects to a reversed cymbal. or something that sounds cool.

drop a link where we can hear it, then you'll get a lot more response - the more specifically you can pinpoint what you're looking for, the better.

I've listened to the tune but can't find the effect you mean...could you tell me at which part of the song it hits?

it is after the break and near the end of the song. When it drops with a completely new bass. It is like a hissing sound or a reverse cymbal sound.

hehe I hear it under all the other shit. Its just pink noise dude and it lasts for 2 bars. Nothing special. It sounds sampled and pitched down a bit. Or it could be a bit filtered. But I think its the first. Also a lot of producers use this but with different effects and dynamics (a.k.a crescendo/decrescendo). But, his just simply cuts off.

Tips to take it further...
Try sampling a nice white and pink noise from one of your soft synths. Then, drop it in simpler.
After that I like a bit crusher and/or filtering.
Use the LFO on the filter to create some movement.
Likewise try doing some clip envelope stuff (LFO style) with the bitcrusher.
Then sample that.
Then Through some other FX on top until you have some nice tamber that is original.

This vid will help too.
