Can Anyone help me make this sound?

[tpaone93]

I dont even know how to describe it. I assume its some kind of synth. its in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXEOHHWH0CM[FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif] The sound really becomes noticeable around 35sec in. Not the water dripping or other percussion. the main synthy whistle sound thing. Please Help! thanks so much! [/FONT]

whistle? i hear no whistles lol. which software do you use to program synths?

That could be anything. Sounds like a filtered choir with reverb on it.

Pick a sinewave, and stack some unison voices with medium detune (maybe 6 voices or so) with maximum unison panning, and then distort it with soft distortion, and you will get these ringing harmonics.

To me it sounds as feedback effect..Sound you will achieve for example by adding electronic guitar too close to guitar amplifier...Here in video its well explained at the beggining and at 3:20 you got exact sound you are looking for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luURyH9fzhk..

That's a nice technique to use, but the linked song has a much more sustained sound with a constant timbre, a key to have in mind is that real instruments and such tend to have a timbre that is constantly moving, while artificial sounds can have a constant timbre.

Hi steff,I know but it also depends on guitarist and his gear..Here is one of the best guitarist in the world Joe Satriany and at 1:23 you can hear annother quality of that effect..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOsgv_X_cV8 Also there is great guitarist Steve Vai and you can find his feedbacks sounds different because another equipment and techniques.. I never try that but by finding right track,then by sampling and tweaking that sound I believe you can achieve close result as tpaone is looking for and its probably the easiest way.
