Hi guys,
For a project of short movie I am working on I'm trying to recreate the drone from Arrival. It's the scene when they enter the alien ship (track is First Encounter)
We used Arrival as a temp track because it worked very well in the scene, the main idea is to have a big beautiful drone on some parts of it. I think it's good to challenge myself to get to know how to do sounds that were made by such professional and talented composers to progress.
I have very little knowledge on advanced audio creation, I mostly always use midi and when it comes to sound design I mostly use presets in Omnisphere or Gravity for example... So I hope maybe you can give me a hint on this.
This drone is obviously composed of several layers, with pitch automation on it. The pitch automation reminds me of the end the THX intro.
Since I had absolutely no idea how to recreate the Arrival's drone (except take a brass patch, put a guitar amp on it and pitch it) I tried to make something like this with massive as a start. Here's how it sounds
The first pitch automation seems correct and I'm actually quiet please with the effect of the pitch. The only thing is that it should be like this but with a very organic feeling and I have absolutely no idea how to make this sound more organic (and also how to properly make the second pitch automation)
What I first thought was the possibility of using an audio file (something organic) and modulate it in a synth or sampler the same way I did for the recreation oif THX sound. The thing is I have no idea what to use. I know Ableton have advanced pitch features for audio but in Cubase (my main DAW) it's pretty limited when it comes to modulate pitch. So I wonder what is a good sampler to modulates pitch ? Or what synth ? And any advice how to create a similar sound would help me a lot.
Any help from you guys would really help me here!
Cheers!
