NWZ1 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hi there, I have been asked for a piece of music that needs a very, very soft pad sound which adds depth but is very unobtrusive. I have been experimenting with all the synthesisers in Logic and have produced something pretty close. However, whatever I try, there is still a very slight 'synthy' sound which I'm trying to avoid. I know that this is a sound design question that can't be answered in a post but I was wondering if there are any presets or plug-ins I can use/buy that would set me on the right path? Many thanks.

Atlas007 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 To achieve softness I'd be prone to work with sine waves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWZ1 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Thanks, Atlas007. I'll make sure I use the the sine waves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandeneatsfood Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 The EXS24 and Alchemy have good presets like this, you just gotta find them. Turning the cutoff down on some of them helps too. As said above, you could always make a soft pad with sine wave, maybe stack a couple on each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWZ1 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Thanks! I've experimented with Alchemy but I haven't tried stacking different pads so I'll give that a go. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
