Lil Louis lead, how to make

Hi All,



Just new to the boards, lots of great tips on here!



I’m looking for some pointers on recreating (more getting my head round) the leadi n these 2 Lil Louis tracks.



Lil' Louis & The World - Nyce & Slo (The love bug) (1990) - YouTube



(kicks in from the start)



Lil Louis -Why'd U Fall ( I called you) - YouTube



(kicks in at 30secs)



Plugin wise, I have Abletons, FM8, Sylenth1, ABL2 and Korg M1 that I am fairly comfortable with.





Thanks again.

1st one sounds like a voice sample with a pitch envelope?

2nd one - Vocal sample… 303.

Is there a bit of vocoding / or filtering going on with the sample? Dont think thats a 303 sound in the 2nd part of the phrase.

Would be interested in seeing those too.

Nuts music - still trippy as fk.

Possibly a pitch bend on the first one as it’s normal pitch for a couple of notes and then bends up - in those days less people were using pitch envelopes. The sound feels to me that it’s not a vocal, sounds more like the kind of thing you’d find as a digiwave in ES2 on Logic, one of Massive’s wavetables or in fact a custom wave in Operator. If I was unemployed, a student or an old age pensioner I’d try and do an example for you as i’d have the time :wink:

Have a look at this - it’s not perfect but it’s close. I created a custom waveform in operator.
