Hi all,
So I am not sure exactly where to post this kind of thing; thought I would try plucking away here...
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.
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.
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.
