Hello everyone,

Recently I've heard this deep sounding FX in a song, that could fit any deep blue movie or videogame. I've heard something similar before, and can't figure out how to reproduce it successfully.

Here are three examples :

"Loreen - Euphoria" at 1'34 (deep transition FX just before the second verse)

"Dj Bobo - Love Is All Around" at 0'27 'and every following transition, placed just like in Loreen's song)

"Masterboy - Is This The Love", four hits at 0'09 - similar but not as cleen as the two other examples

Sonic CD OST - Tidal Tempest (E)" from the beginning, the one at 0'02 is obvious

I've tried using filtered noise with a big reverb, but the result seems less "complete", not full, not clean enough, the resonance remains unclear, the high frequencies are too crispy : I can say my result basically sounds like filtered noise with reverb...

Thanks in advance for any idea !

 

Are you sure it's a reverb and not a delay?

 

Don't you think a delay would produce an unstable tail ? The extinction of the sound seems very linear here, that's why I think there is some kind of long linear reverb, but anyway there's probably an extra delay, you're right about this. Thanks for your answer.

 

Yeah that's right, I've seen your first answer. Actually I wanted to test it, but I've changed my whole hardware a couple of days ago, and I was in big trouble with Cubase (disk overload and sound muting every 2 secondes for 10 seconds appr). I've found the solution now (bad plugin version, Fabfilter was the problem), but had no time to try your suggestion for the moment, that's why I did not answer earlier.
Thanks a million times for your demo, indeed this is very similar. I think I understand what I was missing here : for some reason, I hadn't tried a very percussive sound. Since the sound seems very linear, I was convinced I needed a flatter wave to create the FX, but by listening to your demo it becomes obvious that I need a clap-like sound to begin with. Thanks again, I'm gonna try it as soon as I reinstall all my plugins.
