Realistic String Section - Sound Design Tutorial

Рет қаралды 115,182

Күн бұрын

In this video, I show you how to create a synthesized string section (bowed strings) to use in your production. It's a beautiful sound that emulates cellos and violins. Hopefully, it helps you if you can't afford to invest in a sample-based string section plugin or need a low CPU and RAM option for strings.

That “difficult to explain part” he was dancing around is called “adds more harmonics or rather adds amplitude variations to some harmonics”. That is basically what “warmth” is when adding disto effects and similar.

You've made great videos on designing bass and pads with serum. Thank you. It's really appreciated! Can you PLEASE also make one on how to take any sample (like a vocal sample) and make a pad out of it by looping the sample. I don't know how to get rid of the clicks at the start or end of the loop points so the pad can sound continuous and not like a sample being looped over and over again.
