Eh, just using all your knowledge and design the sound until it sounds like what you imagined. I'm not much of a fan of various generators. Mostly if they don't detail what it does in the tool's manual....
Making any sound fuller

Spreading a sound out in the spectrum is only possible if the sound itself actually HAS those frequencies contained within it. The only other options are to create new harmonics with stuff like saturation/distortion on the high end and options like subharmonic synthesis for the bass. I’ve had a DBX 120 in my rack for a long time, and it works quite well but nowadays I very rarely use it because my music has changed and I’m also able to create sounds that have those necessary sub-frequencies at the source. Waves has a plugin that does something like this (MaxxBass I think?) and you can attempt to use something like an H3000, H910 (or even the H9 pedal) to shift an octave down if the sound is monophonic....polyphonic sounds don’t work as well, and most of the time you won’t want that much bass in a poly patch.....but you might want it brighter. Aphex Type C units go for $50 and used CAREFULLY really can work wonders to make a sound pop through.

Well, there's no argument there - what's not there (and if we want it to be there), we need to create it; one way or another.

The Emu Ultra samplers have a licensed version of the Aphex Aural Exciter built in as a per-sample effect...so you can, for example, brighten a top-line sound and keep a sub octave a bit darker to help blend the two.RobC wrote: ↑21 Apr 2018Well, there's no argument there - what's not there (and if we want it to be there), we need to create it; one way or another.

There is certainly many ways to make a sound fuller but for that purpose adding good saturation it's like adding a cherry on the top of the cake.
If thats really the case I suggest studying all the _data_ others accumulated on these topics. Trying and theorizing it all yourself WILL NOT work. And remember the plural of anecdote isn't data
Heres a whole archive full of actual scientific papers, it will cost you less than trying and finding everything out yourself http://www.aes.org/e-lib/

I'm happy for you that you found support, possibilities and could progress.

Oh! I shortened down a longer reply. Well, AES has publications, for a price, of course. My free time is going to get limited, and I will probably still lack sufficient funds.selig wrote: ↑28 Apr 2018Are you responding to what Normen said, because you quoted him but what you said didn’t seem to relate to his comments. ???RobC wrote:

Now, he is an engineer. In order to become one, you definitely need some sort of support and possibilities in life. ~ Why am I not one? Because I got no proper support, and found no useful possibilities in life to make it happen. It wasn't a choice, but faith. Not going into details.
The way you put it it rather sounds like a self-fulfilling prophecy Still none of that keeps you from acquiring actual information if you want it. If you have fun dabbling by all means dabble - but if it riles you up too much take a step back and just go with the mainstreamRobC wrote: ↑28 Apr 2018Now, he is an engineer.

If you have time to explore every possibility on your own you have time to research online for free. No need to reinvent the wheel. Your choice.RobC wrote:I'm not lucky either, then, cause I don't always find the needed information for free.normen wrote: ↑28 Apr 2018

It’s time management - if you’d rather make music, then learn to do that. But if you’re more drawn to exploring and tinkering with audio tools, do that. I have plenty of friends who never make a song but have all the tools. They prefer to explore with no end goal, and that makes them happy.
Apologies if that’s you - it’s easy to assume everyone here is trying to hone their music making skills, and answer their questions accordingly!

Like I said, my time will be limited; that and I'm not really lucky finding the answers I'm looking for, but I do research; and again I would have loved to have at least a diploma by now, so clearly it's my interest (or was, since I see how things will go) and I want(ed) to put it to use, too.
What they're saying is, if you have time to discover through trial and error, you have time to read existing materials (because that would take much less time).RobC wrote: ↑28 Apr 2018Like I said, my time will be limited; that and I'm not really lucky finding the answers I'm looking for, but I do research; and again I would have loved to have at least a diploma by now, so clearly it's my interest (or was, since I see how things will go) and I want(ed) to put it to use, too.
If you need to know what to read just ask about a particular subject.
Unless you're a mathematical and scientific genius, it's most likely that trial and error will incur many hard limits. Plus it just takes a great deal more time that you just couldn't achieve in a single lifetime. Would you really have discovered how FM synthesis creates sidebands? Or would you know that applying convolutions in any order produces the same results? There. Just saved you days of non stop trial and error, and another 9 months of faffing around before even thinking to identify the laws of the order of processing.
Then we could save you another day of trial and error by telling you that the order of processes does matter when you have effects such as compressors or anything that adds distortion or in some other way introduces new frequencies.
You'll find best results using a mix of both methods, and all of the information you need is available for free online.

OK, right, BUT you also said you wanted to “collect every possibility”, which takes more time then finding the direct answers to your questions.RobC wrote:Like I said, my time will be limited; that and I'm not really lucky finding the answers I'm looking for, but I do research; and again I would have loved to have at least a diploma by now, so clearly it's my interest (or was, since I see how things will go) and I want(ed) to put it to use, too.
I was suggesting a way to make even better use of your time, make sense?

You may find a LOT of useful and free information around these parts…RobC wrote: I'm not lucky either, then, cause I don't always find the needed information for free.
I’ve learned a lot here myself, not only by asking questions but also in reading other people’s replies to questions I’ve also answered. It’s an on-going learning process IMO.

Throughout life, one thing that's remained constant for me is thinking "This is an interesting thing! I wonder how it works/how they do that/where that comes from?".
Nowadays I have a machine in my hand that allows me to find the answer immediately, most of the time, even if it takes a few different search terms to hone in on the thing I'm trying to find out.
I think my point is that it's important to nurture that curiosity, whatever else is happening in your life, because it's what drives everything else. You shouldn't need persuading to Google how stuff works - it should be a compulsion!
Free information, man! In your hand, all the time! I'm just saying, don't dismiss it because you 'haven't got time". You've always got time. You don't have to read the whole Internet at once. Just the answer to whatever question pops into your head.
Always Be Curious.

I love that Reasontalk is often a motivational thing.
I guess that is the hardest thing. Be motivated to put your music out there. It is much easier to find ways not to do it. In a way, discussing things can be like that. But it is ok if it activates motivation.
Bottom line: you should be doing music. Create and finish pieces. If that doesn't work you need to find out what you're doing wrong. Because it's only that, create and ship/finish. The rest is bullshit.
