Hi all -
I'm new to this forum and it seems quite nice with a lot of useful information ;-)
How do you control your Fx sweeps or any modulated atmospheric Fx going in the background ?
I have used and tried different approaches, but so far none of them seem to be giving me the flexibility that I want.
For example. Take some random white/pink noise. Automating the Cutoff Freq, you can get it to go up or down to build momentum.
Using LFO's to do the modulation works too.
Timestretching, to a certain extent, works too.
Adjusting the ADHSR gives you some flexibility too.
What I'm having trouble with, is controling it exactly how I want too. Like for let's say I want the sweep to go over four bars, with a certain decrease.
Sometimes the LFO works but I don't have control over the decay. Timestretching works for certain things but you're stuck with your original sound with no control over decay. Automation works with a lot of fine tuning. I've just started to really explore more the ADHSR controls....
Maybe a combination of multiple ways ?
I'd be curious to know how you guys approach this. Do you have a favorite software you're using to do this ?
Thanks,
PS: I mostly make house music, if it helps to know what kind of effect I'm after.
