Hey there,

I'm in the process of recreating a pop song that I like, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get a crash sound like the one that they have in the video. Every time I try and find something in reason and pitch shift it...it just doesn't fit right.

Here's the song. I am looking for a sound for the two crash hits that happen at 0:18. So there's a high pitched crash then a 2nd lower pitched crash.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6ytqHubn2c

Does anyone know if this is some sort of sound from some old drum machine? I went through the whole crash library in Reason and I just couldn't find anything that sounded like this. Or, I couldn't get something to "mold" into that sound.

Can anybody help me on this?

Thanks,

Pop

maybe try an 808 open hi hat and reverse it, or an 808 crash.

Sounds like the producer just automated the dry/wet of the hi hat reverb

It is a standard electronic crash. You cannot tune them too much, you put a hi pass filter on them to make them brighter. Tons of resources out there in sample libs, or emulation VSTs.
