I filmed an edited today my super beginners video for sound design, So You Want to Make A Sound. This goes over the fundamentals of how sound is built from harmonics, and how to apply this to making your sounds with basic subtractive synthesizer tools.

I think it would be fun to get some submissions from ya'll of sounds you'd like insight into for future episodes. 

If you want to be a part of this, respond to this post with a link to a song with a sounds you're curious about. Be clear about what the sound is (time stamp the sound appears, what the sound is). If I feel like I can approach explaining the sound in a video, I will!

Thanks!

It's not stealing if you reverse engineer it. I use some of the presets from reFx Nexus in my music production, but I always think... "If I were better at synthesis I could just make the sounds from scratch!" The thing is reFx always releases a demo reel of some of the sounds in their expansion packs. I'd like to have a tutorial on how to make the following sounds on their feel good house sound pack. https://refx.com/nexus/expansion/feel-good-house/ Here are the sounds: 1. Athena 2. Exposed Stab 3. Vaan 4. Natural Novo 5. Seventeen The reFx demo reel introduces the sounds in the order they appear in the first 31 seconds of the demo reels. So from 0 seconds to 31 seconds into that video is the entirety of the sounds listed above. The names of the sounds and the type of sound is listed there too (PL for pluck, BA for bass, PN for piano, LD for lead, and VO for Vocal/Vocal chops), so it should lead you to the sounds and give big hints as to how to make them. However, being able to reverse engineer sounds like this means being able to save some money, plus if you make the sound yourself you get extra features like being able to set up the macros the way you want, being able to add extra modulation in places, knowing exactly what knobs modulate what. So, I think from a saving money on presents cause you can hear what a sound is and make that, is a GREAT place to start and a valuable lesson for a lot of us. Especially since Nexus presets are $60 a pop.

The first sound that isn't ambience in Sylvan Esso's Frequency https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9z15pmBtOs Comes in around 7 or 8 seconds. Sounds like it could be volume envelopes over reverb tails or something.
