video game effect or plugin.....

[4thereal]

i'm not too big on what plugins are out there but anyone knows if theres a video game plugin or maybe an effect that could be used to make something sound like a video game?

What exactly do you mean by 'make something sound like a video game'?

 

[siccness-user]

try 8 bit stuff, or

i usually get a "saw" then fuck around with the rhythm.. of the wave

 

[DJ Mark 7]

there are a few 8-bit "commodore" type vsti's on kvr....check there

 

[BOOBOO619]

Try "Basic64." It is exactly what your looking for.

i had meant how do you take an instrument and make it sound video gamish or if there was some type of effect or plugin that does that.

What exactly is "video gamish"?

 

[MALKI]

what the fuck are you trying to accomplish here anyway

 

[DJ Mark 7]

I think he's just lookin for an 8-bit sound


That VST does it dead on....But as far as making one of your other instruments sound 8-bit, ya got me there

 

[4thereal]

lol, nah i'm just experimentin and bein curious. video gamish, meanin i want a certain instrument to have a like a video game effect or sound to it. kinda like how you would throw a flanger on an instrument, i was wonderin if it anyone if there were video game plugins or effects to throw on an instrument. i like to experiment and do all kinda different type of stuff that's all.

^^^^ I usually just get a Combinator and start fucking with it. I would just use some lofi plugins to make what you have "Grit" such as the free iZotope Vinyl plugin found here - http://izotope.com/products/audio/vinyl/ Also be creative and have a open mind. Like I'll take some shit in Pro Tools and come out with some "Fucking Ear Candy". I'd say stick with some lofi shit and just have it in your head what your wanting, pick the sounds and play em'. The plugs can help you but you supply the brain homie!!!

^^^yea that's what i'm exactly trying to do. i hear what i want already but it's just a matter of how to get what i need to do it wit. thanks man, much appreciated.

are you talking about like a bit crusher or something?

 

[4thereal]

nah, i think booboo619 and magnitude pretty much answered my questions. but right on to everyone.

 

[GHP]

yeah i was a bit confused on how the question was layed out. applying a bit crusher to a track will make shit sound gritty and give you that old school 80s sound on drums and shit. if broke down enough you will have something that will sound like old school NES or atari sounds. I don't think you can do that in reason, if you can let me know. that feature could prove useful. I've fucked with bit crushers in logic and other DAWs

 

[4thereal]

^^^makin it sound like video games is what i was aimin for. now the bit crushers you're talkin about, how do i get that or is that what booboo and magnitude had the links for?

 

[GHP]

I'm sure you can get a solid bit crusher in any plug in bundle, it probably comes stock on top end daw programs, i don't know any by name but if you take an audio track and smash it into 8 or 4 bits it will sound like an old school video game because that was the audio capability that video games had in the 80s

 

[4thereal]

right on for that info. much appreciated.
