Hi guys

can you tell me all kind of "names" for sounds I need to know to make for EDM

i came across Supersaws, Pads, Leads, risers, drops so far.......any other specific ones?

 

Plucks of course

 

Impacts, build-ups, filter sweeps, stabs, sidechain-compression...syncopation, call and response, melody, hook, harmony, arrangement, structure, transition, intro, outro, break-downs, bridge/middle8, chorus, verse, etc

 

keep them coming please!!!

sorry am a bit of a newbie, what are impacts and where can i learn to make them?

 

In EDM Impacts are basically layered sounds (kick + cymbal or any other random sound/sounds) run through a reverb, used as transition from one section to another (like introducing a breakdown or break after an intensive/crowded part). You can learn to make your own by just layering stuff and run it through a reverb.

In movie sound design it's more organic recordings of real drums/percussion, steel/metals, scrapyard found sounds, etc.

 

I've been producing EDM about a year but i never heard about "call & response"... Probably i use it without know... can you explain what it is please, i'm curious, hehe

 

I recommend you to download a basic sample pack of Vengeance (just an example) for educational purposes, it will come with a lot of different kinds of audio and you will be able to listen to some impacts, falls, bass drops, risers, reverses, fills, etc.

And don't worry, you will learn the names of each kind of sound used in a track naturally. ;)

 

Can't forget bass!?
Don't overlook Sub Bass, so important.
Growl bass's,analog basses, goes on forever.

 

hey guys thanks a lot!!!
