Original Samples
Shared:
1. Complete electric piano part (wet)
2. synth effect with engine acceleration and final shimmering granular fx, panned in motion (wet)
Process
I had pressure traces from a real engine near the catalyzer in the exhaust, sampled at 210kHz, I isolated a single cycle (360°), imported into Sonic Academy Node, a wavetable creator. Then imported the wavetable into Pigments and programmed the pitch drift and added a granular effect on a 2nd layer coming out after 5 seconds at the end of the engine sound.
Other Notes
Narva9 sung asymmetric verses and 3 different refrains, I mean, every take was different. Amazing skilled songwriting, so much to choose from. Melodyne did a mess on a word in the last refrain, I could replace a snippet from a previous one.
