Hey guys!
Been lurking here a while. Was hoping for some guidance.
I was watching This video earlier, and really wanted to experiment with the vowel modulation in Ableton. I followed the instructions to the T, but my sound comes out like this https://clyp.it/22k5bfqt
Why does it sound so underwater? I reduced the gain in both the EQs, like he said, but my patch sounds nothing like his.
Well, there is a lot going on, but Iâll try to explain everything as simple as possible.
Here is a picture of my huge Ableton Rack :

The first thing is a simple Fm patch. This kind of sound could be done with any Synth. But I think sytrus does the best job because you have way more control over the sound. This is how it sounds: https://clyp.it/dw145sy5
The three EQâs, the two Phasers and the Vocoder are the things that shape the vowel. They all look like this:
The three EQâs are all moving and shape the basic vowel, while the Vocoder and the phaser are all still and make the vowel stronger.
You can see that there is a lowpass at the last EQ. I did that because that also made the vowel stronger(Cant really explain why, but it does). Of course I had to bring that High end back with a lot of compression.
A thing that I do with all of my sounds is putting a very, very short reverb at the start of the chain to make it sound more wet.
All the other stuff in the chain tbh is very unnecessary and doesnt change the sound at all 
I hope that helped you 
Also the violins donât like match with the song so if i will make an remake/remix out of that, there is A LOT to fix.
Whenever I did that, I was on mobile. Iâm thinking something screwy happened with the interface since it is not optimized for mobile viewing but I couldnât fix the quote thing so I just posted anyways.
You just use compression to bring up the quieter bits of the sound, itâs actually really easy. These compressor settings usually work for whatever growls I make.
The first one is the syndicate growlâŚitâs just a rip off
Lol,clean your ears and listen carefully,thatâs the original
You already got reported, watch your mouth.

i respect dan larsson job, envy is just not part of my behavior. I know that i still have a lot to learn, thatâs why i joined this community. Even though the first growl sound like the syndicate one just transposed few semi. And âclean your earsâ is not the best way to approach to someone
Dude you wrote âitâs just a rip offââŚâremakeâ was the right wordâŚ

there was a video of dan larsson where he actually sampled the Syndicate growl bassâŚ

Again with clean your ears? Can you try to be polite? i mean i donât even know you 
Those growls are cool tho!!
you guys donât need a moderator, you need a babysitter. âclean your earsâ is not inappropriate.
flagging things as inappropriate just because you donât like them, when theyâre not actually inappropriate, will result in warnings/bans in the future.
so will telling people to watch their mouth because you reported them.
if you havenât already, read the rules: https://community.dsf.ninja/faq
Well I mean, phasers are like, the best for a growl (IMO, dont flame me, please). Usually you can implement it anywhere. For me, I use a phaser, then distortion. but 2 or 3 phasers can really make a crazy difference in vowely movement aswell. https://clyp.it/3akkfugr Such as this one, has 3 phasers. but without those phasers, it sounds like this. https://clyp.it/du25ohag It basically makes the vowels more present in the sound and adds a characteristic that just give it the right tone.
Nice dude, I really like the ones without the phaser,which synth is it ?
its serum, with a shit ton of fx after it
Weird square riddim growl for all you guys that like that kind of shit.
