Sound design: inducing changes in timbre
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi all, </p> <p>So I am not sure exactly where to post this kind of thing; thought I would try plucking away here...</p> <p>I picked up music production at the start of this pandemic, have quite enjoyed the more technical side of sound design, working with fundamental sound forms, understanding subtractive synthesis.</p> <p>I would like to know some uncommon techniques that you may use to induce interesting changes in timbre? For example: lately I am trying to blend subtle ring modulation into my sound designs or vst instruments. This is done in order to break through that "stock sound" feeling. In addition, I have tried using heavy non-transparent compression and pitch shaping in order to produce sonic artifacts, but with mixed results. The induced changes in colour tend to be dirty sounding--perhaps inharmonic you may say. Sorry, still not 100% on all of these terms. </p> <p>Just wondering if you have anything to say/suggest regarding this broad topic. Could be some techniques/a vst you use/etc. Would also be really keen to hear some technical discussion as well. I look forward to your replies.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/MrAngryRussian"> /u/MrAngryRussian </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/ks994j/sound_design_inducing_changes_in_timbre/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/ks994j/sound_design_inducing_changes_in_timbre/">[comments]</a></span>
