Hey guys, first time poster, but I just finished up all of Syntorial, along with the Serum lesson packs.
So this track has my favorite drop of all time, and it has some INSANE synth sounds, many of which I can't for the life of me replicate so I figured I would leave this here with a few time stamps and do my best to describe the sounds I am trying to recreate. According to BT himself, he used a lot of NI Razor, as well as the Kawai K5000, though I'm sure many of these sounds could be made in Serum as well.
Here is the track:
First Sound 2:31.5 Bit Crushed "Wow"
This is a sound BT uses a lot, and it seems like a bit crushed "WOW" wavetable or something, but I can't ever seem to get the timbre right. I think he may be using some stutter edit to create that effect though I am not sure.
This sound can also be heard at 2:38, 2:46, 2:53.5, and 2:57.
Second Sound 2:37 Bass Drop and Glitchy Bass
There is something with this bass drop where it seems to get some heavy FM modulation as it drops, along with maybe some pan automation? He uses bass sounds with a similar effect throughout this drop and I can't get enough of it!
Similar variants of this sound can also be found at 2:42, 2:45, 2:48, 2:53, 2:54, 2:57, and 3:00.
Third Sound 2:39.5 Bassy Lead
This bassy lead sound has such a cool texture with its frequency and phase content, but yet again I just can't seem to recreate it! Its clearly sidechained, but it seems like it may have pitch mapped to the sidechain too?
It can also be heard briefly in a higher octave at 2:47.
Fourth Sound 2:39 Chopped Gritty Wub
This is probably one of the simpler sounding sounds, although it still has an interesting flavor that I can't seem to put my finger on it. It clearly has a gritty king of hypersaw feel without all the smearing, and also seems to have the thickness of a square wave in there too (not to mention the cool stutter effects that are manipulating it).
Similar versions of this sound occur at 2:41 and 2:43.
I would love to know how to make every single sound in that drop, but obviously I don't want to overwhelm you guys haha. Let me know if any of you have any luck and I look forward to seeing your results!
