hi everyone david here from
david2mayaudio.com and in this video
i'll be showing you guys how to create
some
magical uh sound so i'm really going for
something that's kind of
mystical and uh yeah so let's jump into
the project i'll show you guys
what i'm talking about but before we do
if you haven't checked the description
yet i'll leave a link there for some
free sound effects using the exact
technique that i'm going to be showing
you guys in this video so if you want to
grab those for free royalty free
uh check the link in the description all
right let's get into our project and
i'll show you guys what i'm talking
about
all right so here we go in our project
i'll be using iris tube for this video
um but let's hear uh what what kind of
sound effects we're going to be creating
here so
so this is the style i'm going for
[Music]
here's another one
all right so those are the sounds that
we're going for here so um
before we actually jump into iris two
though the first thing we're gonna do is
um we're gonna be creating um bell
sounds so the way i like to do that is
just using synths so i'm going to be
jumping into
absinthe here and this is how i'm going
to do it so
i'm just loading abstinence but you can
use any synth and what's cool about it
is
you know with any synth that you have
you can just go to the presets and
usually they'll have like some sort of
mallet instrument or some sort of bell
uh presets so what i'd like to do is
just go like you know for this one
malice it'll do crystal bells and then
if you play it
you have these bell sounds and this is
what we're going to use as our sound
sources for creating our sound design so
um another note here is what i'm gonna
be doing here
is i'm just gonna be playing on my black
keys so i like to pick like a theme
uh for the sounds that i'm creating so
for this session what i'm gonna do is
just
playing on my black keys and it's gonna
be higher up on my keyboard
and but what you could do as well is you
know maybe you'll pick like just one
certain note so maybe it'll just be d
or just a or just e flat whatever it is
note that you want to pick so that all
your sounds can
blend together really well so there's no
kind of clashing unless that's what you
want of course but anyways for this
video all i'm going to be doing is
playing on the black keys alright so
let's hear what i'm going to be doing so
i'm going to be recording these so that
i can actually use them as sources
later on so let's let's play a little
bit
[Music]
so
all right so that might be one source
now what i like to do is
either find another preset but what's
nice about absinthe here is that you can
actually mutate the patch and create
some new bell sound so let's try that
i don't like that one let's try it again
[Music]
so that one's a nice one so let's go
with that one
[Music]
so that's okay so now i'm gonna try to
find one that's actually more
bell-like without so much effect so many
effects on them so let's try
[Music]
let's try this one record again
[Music]
perfect so now we have one two three
we'll do one more
because iris two has like four slots for
samples so i'll do one more sample here
so let's go again
here let's try this one here
let's try to mutate this
that's cool so let's try that
[Music]
and there you go so now i'm just going
to export these and then we're going to
import them back into our project
all right so we are back and now what
i'm going to do is we're going to open a
new patch a new
uh instance of iris here so let's put it
at the bottom
all right so here you go so for anybody
who's not familiar with iris
it's basically a sampler but what's cool
about it is that you can actually
use the spectrogram to pick up the
frequencies that you want to use as part
of your
sound design so i'm just going to import
the sounds in here and then we'll go
from there
all right so there you go i have
imported the my four sounds that i just
created
and now what i'm going to do is just
pick out
the part of the sample that's actually
playing and there you go
so now this is the frequency spectrum
that i was talking about the spectrogram
so if i wanted to i could go in here and
choose like only i only want this part
of the frequency or i could like
you know carve out little sections of it
like this or or whatnot but anyways
um for our purposes all i'm going to do
is
i'm going to use the entire spectrogram
to create our sound so i'm just going to
highlight it all like that
and here we go and so all of them are
highlighted here so let's just play a
key and hear what we have
[Music]
so we have all four samples playing at
the same time
and you get these kind of magical layers
obviously they're not really
useful yet so let's do a bit of
designing here so what i'm going to do
is i'm going to make it more of a whoosh
kind of design so i'm just going to use
this
envelope number five here and this is
attached to the game so this is the amp
envelope
so if we play it now
[Music]
now we have more of a worse kind of
layer
[Music]
so we have that whoosh envelope then
there's a few other things i like to add
here so one
is the distortion so i'm going to put
this on here
that's really too much though so i'm
just going to do a bit less
just a little bit and then some delay so
let's put that on
[Music]
[Applause]
so that is really helping it um
kind of extend that that release
[Music]
so
[Music]
and there you go this is your basic um
you know
spell sound
[Music]
and if we wanted to i guess we could
come in here and like tweak the
frequencies here a little bit
maybe like this try something like this
so we're not getting
the attack of the sound but more into it
so
let's try that
[Music]
so this sounds kind of nice
[Music]
and then if i play higher on my keyboard
you get more of the bell sounds if i
bring it in a little bit more
this is what's nice about this dude is
you can like try to find and tweak the
exact spot that you want for that
perfect
sound
and what's cool as well is because we
like it works really well because
every time we played um like the the
sample we played a different like
version of it
we played different notes so it's never
going to sound the same based on where
we choose the sample to start so
[Music]
that sounds cool
it's nice i wanna try another one like
over here
like that
so that sounds cool i really like that
one
so like i could totally use that for a
spell sound or for a game or something
so
um anyways that's this is what i want to
show you guys how to create these um
sounds so anyways i hope you guys liked
that and found it valuable
if you did let me know if you have any
questions leave it in the comments as
usual and uh yeah
don't forget to check out the
description so remember to check the
descriptions for those free
uh sounds that i'm gonna be um giving to
you guys for free um
using this exact same technique that i
showed you guys in this video so anyways
i hope you guys liked
it thanks so much for watching and i'll
see you guys in the next video bye
