How do I get these sounds?

    Hi, I was curious on how to get these sounds and apply these filtering/sweeping effects to my own melodies. My reference starts at around 1:41 into the song and ends at around 1:51.


    The lead and the pads is what I want to know how to get. Also, if someone can tell me how to do the filtering, or what kind of filters/sweeps I should look at, that would be awesome.
    I though these sounds were amazing and wanted to know how what was used so I can apply them to my own melodies.
    Also, a more audible version of the pads is at around 3:02 into the track. Just behind the movie clip.
    Thank you,

    Edit: deleted nonsese lol
    at 3:02 I think the chord progression is made with reversed samples. I never tryed it by myself, but there is Output REV for Kontakt which deals with sounds like those.
    Output REV for the pad at 3:00 (occasionally there are some band filter sweeps with narrow Q):

    @1:41 - It sounds like a lead through a delay send (w/ reverb) that has a slow opening bandpass filter and a very resonant Q running. It's hard to tell, but I'm almost positive the filtering is only happening only the delay fx.

    To get that nice sweet resonant sweep you'd best use an analogue modelled filter such as Cytomics "The Drop" (these filters were added to Live 9.6 also), UAD Moog Filter, or some Nebula library filter like Henry's Moog Filter. These are the only one's I personally know. Non-modelled pure digital eq's/filters with that high a Q usually give an unpleasant ringing.

    Hmmm... UAD Moog Filter I will mandatorily pass on. Since while I would love to try or even buy without trying it but UAD requires pre-registered UAD-2 hardware in order to buy. Which blows because I cannot afford any hardware of theirs LOL. Way beyond my budget - aka under $500. So I'm stumped, there.
    I am still curious how to get the synth lead used. Just the entire song that synth lead is what I want. Sounds like a synthetic organ lead of some sort. Anyone can assist what waveform to use, there? That synth lead is amazing. Which is my primary focus on this thread.

    1.create lead /pad (delay only)
    2. bounce it in place
    3. reverse the lead / pad
    4. put reverb
    5. bounce it again
    6. then reverse it again .

    I think this is close to what you are looking for at 1:41 in terms of timbre and tone?

    Yeah. I did that quickly with NI Monark and NI Replika delay. A bit more tweaking of the amp & filter envelopes, as well as the delay timing, will get you closer.

    What about the triangular leads @1:41? Any idea how to get that? I know it's a triangle/sine lead, but this one sounds pretty cool. Lol

    Your pad sounds may have come from something like this or Omnisphere:



    Ah just saw Rev above. 2 minds think alike

    :wink:

    Adam favorite synths were omnisphere, maelstrom... and moog voyager. with 1st and 2nd you are ok, sort of.. But I think he was using voyager for lead synth lines in the past. Have 3000$ to spare..?
