Do any of you guys know what effect richard used in the
last minute of Mt. Saint Michels. I guessed just fucking the
volume up and down really fast with some program or manually
but i'm prolly wrong.

i dont remember exactly the song...

but if it is quick volume going up and down... its probably
an LFO (low frequency oscilator) used on the amp (master
level)

or something

It's a bit of a strobe light effect. Drives me crazy, almost
into seizures. Makes me eyes water, especially with
headphones... :-/

That doesn't answer your question, though, does it... ah
well. Can't be anything too complicated, sounds pretty
simple.

Yeah, it does sound like that he's switching between 2
tracks really quicky or modulating the volume on a single
track real...to get that stobey audio effect...only way to
see if that's it is to give it a try...

dunno how quick tho...you'd need to experiment a bit...

its removing small sections of the track - you can do it in
soundforge

yeah they have a gapper/snipper effect in there that you can
prolly use.

well..

it actually soundsl ike he was just making the individual
notes/samples whatever you want to call them, shorter.
which would be called the "decay" of the sample. he put it
into negative decay

thats my 2 cents

that's one of the best effects i've ever heard considering
that it acctualy did something to my brain. mad props to
richard =)


 

offline Zeus from San Francisco (United States) on 2002-06-17 22:11 [#00271372]
Points: 14042 Status: Lurker



yeah, it was cut up and added negative decay

What really gets me is when it just suddenly stops. All of
the strobing makes you feel nuts and then there's just a
sudden emptiness that floods your ears and it hurts! I love
that song.

thats definatly another highlight of Drukqs

definately an LFO on the master volume me thinks.

or maybe he did it in soundforge afterwards.

Points: 14042 Status: Lurker



i dunno man, after listening to it... i dont think its an
lfo

i think he cut the samples into little peices, and then put
the decay on negative (or lowered the sample length... same
thing)

my god there are thousand way to do that... you can edit the
file... use an LFO... program it in a sequencer in that
way... it's not like a new discovery in effects or something

yeah its just the amp mod on sound forge but you can just
use enveloping or a squarewave lfo, and then just sync it to
the track: IT IS NOT THE GAPPER/SNIPPER as that alters the
tempo...

it's actually easier than that.i've used it a bilion times
as i'm sure have others.
any virtual mixer has a solo button.
take a dead channel and program it to solo the dead channel
at 1/16 and then up to 1/32 and then just before the end it
is at 1/64
it's as simple as programming a kik in a four on the floor
beat.

*cough*best result would be to cut the samples and do neg
decay...*Cough*

well the amp mod (Which it is) you just type in the
frequency and press enter

that same kind of effect is used in the middle of 54 Cymru
Beats isn't it? Maybe not as effective, but it's there...
