Harder Attacks?

Hows it goin??br
br
What techniques do you guys use to beef up the attacks on sounds? br
br
br
I have a pluck/stab sound I have been trying to replicate from another track,br
I pretty much have the sound nailed but the attack on my sound is pretty weak compared to the sound I was trying to replicate.br
br
I’ve tried compression, messing about with the attack envelope and even cutting the tiniest piece out of the start of the original sound and layering it with my synth (this gave me my best result) but id really love to be able to get these aggressive attacks I hear on most plucks and stabs.br
br
I’m using A.N.A. if that makes a difference.br
br
br
Please help lolbr

Can you use a pitch change or filter cut off with an envelope to achieve it?

+1 for short pitch envbr
br
seems that the virus has a distinctive attack that has a similar sound to the pitch env thing.br
br
loads of the new plucks in the ANA presets Vol1 have pitch env on them.

Not sure whether Flux’s Bittersweet III can help you out. It’s a transient designer.br
And it’s free :smiley:

mr nobody if you have access check out the recent ANA tutorial on leads (or perhaps it was plucks). phil shows envelope mod on the pitch which produces some fantastic results…

@ cosmic that’s exactly where I went after xpa and Phil mentioned that.br
That video really helped. br
Tanks guysbr
br
@ daniaan your the second person to mention that plugin so I must check it out.br

Thanks again guys. br
