How Is Lazy Rich creating this sound?
I’ve asked a few places and got different answers so thought I’d check on here. It kicks in the 1.06 mark. It sounds like a robotic voice talking. ITs quite heavily used in electro and psy trance. People have come up with different ideas, any other suggestions would be great!
Take a complex wave, run it trough a bit of distortion and use a formant filter. Then its a lot of sculpting work. Change the dist, the wave a.s.o.
When it sounds good its time for the filter tweaking. Hook up a LFO to one of the parameters in the formant filter or just automate the filter changes.
I like to take a pretty messed up wave, put it through a low pass filter with a little bit more resonance than usual, then put it through the TAL Bit-crusher with the wetness all the way up, the low-end up, and the bit-rate high.
Then, make the cutoff from the lowpass filter move with an LFO of automation!
Good luck!
It’s a formant filter, for sure! the rest is distortion, bitcrushing and resampling to taste.
BTW how ridiculously heavy is the side chain on that track?! It’s like listening to a musical see-saw! blurgh
