How do I make 'white noise'? [SOLVED]


Kanvas

Recommended Posts

Hi everybody

 

I need to know how to make the 'white noise' sound heard in many progressive house productions today. I am not talking about the swush sound but the basic White noise like in the songs below:

 

The effect after 3 seconds and the longer one at 32 seconds.

And maybe more clearer in this song:

Please help me

The best thing would be if someone could make a preset I can use in logic or if not maybe just talk me through it step by step

 

Many thanks in advance!

Bring up the ES P synth, and load this preset attached to the post. This may be a good starting point for you.

The easy way around, you could load the Test Oscillator plugin and set it to White Noise, but that just sounds too easy.. and the ES P way you get to create exactly (if not close) to what you want.

Hope it works for you.

Kanvas, this is not how it works.

 

No one is really interested in making presets for you and frankly, why should they (unless you pay them, which is a totally different matter).

 

Likewise, begging for a step-by-step hand-holding guidethrough is displaying the same unwillingness to put some effort in by yourself.

 

At one point you will have to sit down, try things, crack open the manual, experiment. And the more you are able to show that you have tried, that you have read the manual , that you have experimented and while doing so you hit a roadblock which you need specific help for, the more people will be inclined to help you.

 

Your current approach might work this time, but believe me, it won't last far.

i agree that experimenting is the best way to learn and indeed be unique

however, pouring through the manual is no where near as thrilling as the dynamic "help" and guidance that this web site provides.

 

if indeed we all learned the manual fom page 1 to 9999999

would there be a logic pro help website at all?

 

and dave's book wouldn't sell

 

and we would all churn out the a to z 4/4 verse chorus verse chorus loop ridden vat of sh't that sells in bucket loads

and live in mansions full of hand maids and sleep until 2pm engorged with fine foods and the finest wine known to mankind?

 

(come to think of it...i,m gonna read the manual

hee hee!)

 

knock

all you need to do is create an ES2 and tweak around with the waveforms (the third ocsillator has a white/colourd noise waveform) or download the YMCK Magical 8-bit plug-in which has a raw white noise waveform

 

Just downloaded the Magical 8-bit, it is a cool little freeware, It can make the white noise

 

Thanks for the tip

I hear you knock(ing). There are plenty of times when folks here will chip in and try and help with a patch, usually when the OP has already tried and can't quite get it right, or if the sound is complex and they aren't clear on the approach. But in this case I have to agree with Christian. No offense to the OP here, but asking about calling up a basic oscillator waveform that's included in multiple Logic instruments, including even the test oscillator, does show a certain lack of initiative. I can understand laziness, but if we give you a fish, you'll only eat for a day.

I hear what you are saying. I will take it up for consideration before posting again.. Sorry for the inconvienence

I have been reading ALL the forums here for a day or so now (after reading the MANUAL TWICE over the last week ;) ) and this is an amazing community and I look forward to belonging here in my own way. Yet I am now THOROUGHLY TERRIFIED of ever asking a question here because I know Christian/FuzzFilth will use his EVIL POWERS to SHAME ME! :shock:

 

(Okay - I've probably already broken an Unspoken Law here by making these comments, so I'll just say YOU GUYS ALL ROCK and BE THANKFUL THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO SUCH AN AMAZING CREATIVE TOOL SUCH AS LOGIC! Peace out, Hello to all, ReinMan)

everyone is at different levels in all walks of life,

nothing gives me a better thrill (well almost nothing) than being able to pass on some knowledge i have gleaned from hours of reading, searching this forum and you tube.

I think we all have one thing in common here

a passion for logic

 

vive le difference!

 

and be bold, ask the question

and most of all...experiment for yourself

after all, it never did Baron Frankenstein any harm did it?

 

merry christmas all!

Hi ReinMan, welcome to the forum. I'm terrified that people won't ask questions and then we wouldn't get to experience Christian's evil powers. Never underestimate the entertainment value of forums! :wink:

the entertainment value of forums

 

I greatly appreciate Christian's posts here, and I think there's a lot of validity to what he said. However, I did find it entertaining to notice that he was typing the words "no one is really interested in making presets for you" at roughly the same moment that chrishansson was posting a preset. Great timing.

"Welcome to the Forum. Now go ahead and ask about your Bounces being too quiet, I dare you !

 

Christian"

This thread really exemplifies in many ways how these type of forums....have issues....such a turn off to see....

 

I thought everyone was quite tame. Please remember that members here are helping out of the goodness of their heart. No one is getting paid (apart from David, who pays to keep the forum running).

 

Asking lazy questions, not taking the care to word questions carefully, and failing to investigate the manual or try to solve the problem yourself before asking is a little disrespectful to those who do take the time to give advice.

 

Just my $0.02.

 

PS. Having said that, the OP wasn't that bad. I just wish people would try to solve problems themselves and understand how to do things instead of looking for quick fixes/cheats.

This link might help out if you are trying to use the Es2 for white noise: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jun07/articles/logictech_0607.htm

 

The only way I know how to create this white noise so far in Es2 is by turning the first 2 oscilators off and setting the third to noise. In addition the first box in the router set the target to amp and the source to Envelope3 (havn't yet figured out exactly what that does but it seems to work) You'll want the controls on env3 to be maxed out for the most part (i havnt found attack to make much of a difference however).

 

I hope this helps and I agree with the critics on this thread you shouldn't have your hand held and be told this and that but the truth is I am offering an unholy alliance to anyone else who can add to this information :twisted:

The issue I'm having so far is that I havn't really been able to cusomize the sound very well. the filter is where you really get your "woosh" sound from. drive and res are self explanitory, and the cut is where you get most of the sweeping from. In addition FM creates a wobble which I'm shure you'll figure out if you play with it.

See was that so bad? I didn't go "ok you put this setting at this number.." and so on It was an explanation of how things work which is fair and in my opinion waaay more helpful then a hold-your-hand walkthrough. :lol: NOW if I could get some help... I cant get rid of the damn flange. In other words how come I can't get a pure white noise effect? ok unholy alliance begin!! :twisted: :?: :idea: :wink: 8) ... :twisted:

Click the b/p button on all modulation routings. Turn "Intensity" all the way down on the Chorus/Flanger/Phaser section at the top right.
