[aside title=”Squelch Bombs!“] Use uncommon wavetables in NI Massive and get rewarded with very unique sounds![/aside]
YouTube user TheBassTutorial has put together this helpful little NI Massive video tutorial for all of your looking to polish up your tracks a bit with some added sounds and effects to really get your audience engaged. Artists like Rusko and Noisia are taking advantage of little embellishments like this squelchy sound to provide a signature in recent releases. These sounds are fun and easy to make, not to mention great for learning more about sound design within Massive.

Three wavetables, a filter and some straight-line LFO modulation is what make this sound work, but it’s the dimension ezpander that gives it the space needed to really feel right. If you want o make this sound your own, you may want to try adding some noise (perhaps something metallic in nature) for a slightly less digital feel. To really change things up you can experiment with some sample & hold and/or subtle distortion effects. This kind of sound also does well with added amp modeling, which can provide a lot of original voice.

Do you have ideas for interesting sounds designed in NI Massive? Perhaps you have one you have already had success with and would like to share it with the MassiveSynth community? Well, let us know by leaving a comment below or sending us a message to get the ball rolling.
