Goa Travellers Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hello, Can you identify this overdriven pad used in a number of tunes by different artists? e.g. in Miranda - Anaesthetic or I love it! It looks like a VA pad with a VA disto effect! Any idea? From an Access Virus maybe? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goa Travellers Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks. My feeling is that there are so many old/new racks, synths, VSTIs that I feel dizy and can't concentrate on just a handful of them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psybro Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Try this particularly for gritty pad sounds http://www.kvraudio.com/product/hydra-pl-by-petrol-limiter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panoptes Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 learn how to synthesize and you'll be able to figure it out with asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goa Travellers Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hey...I've been learning since the mid 90's. I'm not a professional at all and I keep learning all the time, this is also why I ask for tips. Please be nice, if you don't want to help or if you don't know the exact answer, at least don't be arrogant. Keep cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panoptes Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I dont mean to come off as arrogant. But I still think my advice is good. You worry to much about what synth made the sound rather than focusing on process behind achieving the sound you want with a versatile synthesizer. I'm sure you have one of those in your collection of vsti. You've made many topics like this but the truth is the best way to get these answers is through trial and error. my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needle ninja Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 It is good to know what other people do when they produce. Other wise you would have no idea how to make a particular type of sound. I have spend many days just experimenting with sounds, but that is no substitute for knowing what other producers really do.

Goa Travellers Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Of course, and this is the purpose of a forum, sharing and discussing. I have spent most of my week-ends playing around with my synths over the last 15 years. So many combinations are possible. You have the rough idea how to achieve the sound you want, but it's almost impossible to reach the same sound. Sometimes, someone happens to know how to reach it, and sometimes there is actually a technique that you may not be aware of. For instance, in the beginning, when I began music, I didn't know how to create an acid sound. I just didn't have the right tool (a Roland E-86 rompler, no disto), and no one was there to tell me (back then, I didn't have the Internet). This is why I believe deeply in sharing knowledge.
