My intention is that by illuminating certain pieces of this process, you may be able to take a new understanding and apply it to whatever alternative process you prefer. The approach we'll take in this walkthrough is one which I've seen suggested a lot in various forums and tutorials, which prompted my decision to explore it, but is by no means the "right" way to make such a sound. There are hundreds of ways to produce similar sounds, and each have their own unique characteristics. The last thing I want to say before we dive in is that every parameter of this process is a variable which can be tweaked to produce a different sound. The project structure may be a little non-intuitive at first I've partitioned pieces of the audio graph into distinct subgraphs via an Object Oriented model because it's easier to reason about certain subgraphs as if they were single nodes.
#NEUROFUNK FL STUDIO TUTORIAL CODE#
The code I've written for this article is available on my Github page, and the live demonstration can be found here. With this article I hope to share those findings with you by walking through the process of creating such a sound, using the Web Audio API to illustrate my process, and by taking an in-depth look at each step of the process in an attempt to answer why each step takes us closer to the sound we're aiming for. Details like, " Why does every popular tutorial suggest 'resampling' and what is it actually doing to my sound?" This exploration led me to some really interesting characteristics of digital audio production, sound design, and the math that underlies it all. Like any curious musician, this obsession led me immediately to the question, " How do I make this sound?" And even when I had a pretty good answer, tiny details lingered, begging me to dig deeper into the process until I had a true understanding of the why. I've included it here not only for that reason, but also because it demonstrates a wide variety of the types of sounds that I've been so intrigued by these past few months. A collaboration of some of the best names in the genre. This second example, "Mosaic" by KOAN Sound, Culprate, Asa, and Sorrow, is maybe one of my favorite songs of all time. And with perfect rhythm, it seems to succeed, ripping across the frequency spectrum with brilliant harmonic content, exciting the track just for a second before settling back down beneath the floorboards to strike again momentarily. In this section, there's a brooding, lurking characteristic of the bass sound its movement is as if it's trying to break through the lowpass filter which is struggling to restrain it.
In this first example, "Starlite" by KOAN Sound, the bass is particularly impressive throughout the section which starts around 1:12 and builds slowly towards what you might call the chorus. Let me share some of my favorite examples below to help set the stage for the kind of sound we will be exploring below. KOAN Sound, Noisia, Trifonic, or pretty much any other artist on Inspected's roster, are great examples of artists who consistently produce bass sounds that blow my mind. I've lately been fascinated with the kinds of bass sounds coming out of the electronic "NeuroFunk" genre. I also spend a lot of time tinkering with and composing music, both in Web Audio and in FL Studio – enough time, at least, that I think I can identify and appreciate really intricate sound design in the songs that I listen to. I listen to a lot of music, and my tastes are eclectic, to say the least.
