Fx pour synthé

Citation : First off, rain isn't done by filtering white noise. That will probably sound too smooth and synthetic. You modulate the filter with with noise or smoothed noise while running an osc through the filter. That same technique can also be used to add rumble and grunge to explosions and rocket sounds. I did an Autumn Storm demo using just synthesized sounds at the Youtube link below. You can hear a thunder strike at about the :57 mark witch I can't remember the details off hand, but a comb filter or flanger was used in there somewhere, plus there's rain and even single rain drops landing in water. Click on my Youtube name if you want to hear other synthesized effects demos like Beach Sounds, and Liquids.

Citation : So many sounds require more than just 2-dimensional parameters, which lacks depth. That's another place phasing and flanging can help... not for the sake of adding a 'kewel sound', but to add that dab of realism which you may not initially hear so much, as subconsciencously identify. Spacial co-ordinates can have everything to do with realism... those little accoustic bounces off of various surfaces, which change the phase... add to it, subtract from it... all of that can count. It can also make you crazy, and make you feel like you're trying to reinvent the wheel.
