Hi All,
I'm gouging my eyes out trying to recreate EDX's pluck in his song Make Me Feel Good.


Here's the song, listen at 3:17-3:48. I want that clean clean clean sounding pluck, not the detuned addition in the drop.

PLEASE Let me know if you can help! I'd love you forever.


Also, I hear a very similar sounding pluck in Carpe Diem by Fran Garcia & Andrew Dee - Carpe Diem. Unfortunately I cannot find the original mix anywhere but the sound is in Tiesto's Club Life 378 at 29:05 for about 30 seconds (the fast 16th note pluck).

Thank you in advance!!
 
All plucks are just made by having an envelope on volume with no attack, small decay, some sustain and maybe a little release, and a similar envelope on pitch only this time with no sustain.

Variation comes from changing the waveform, adding reverb maybe, different sustain levels. I'll let you work out which of the 4 standard waveforms this is yourself...

I swear a question like this comes up every week, and it's practically the most basic sound design there is.

Your reply is completely unhelpful, and you are being rude/arrogant. I'm not asking how to make a pluck. I'm asking how to achieve this sound.. this timbre.. this warmth and crispness.
If you have any input that would contribute to this, please feel free to help me.
 
Well, it has depth because there's a sub for sure layered under it. It is quite a nice pluck sound. EDX has their style of bringing more Trance production techniques to the deep house scene.
 
Sorry :D
There have been a lot of threads recently asking similar questions.

Perhaps we ought to start a how to pluck thread so all the advice given can be found in one place...
