FX Tips

[M-.-n]

I guess my POV is that you should use FX so that they don't sound like 'I've
added FX'. Either because they are used to produce the sound's texture or
because they position spacially the sound in a subtle enough way that it
doesn't feel like it's there.

At the total opposite end of the spectrum (and I'd really would love to dig
that one more) is people like stephan bodzin who switches effects
(especially delays) in "radical" ways on some section of the song to make it
go totally elsewere rythmically.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9_L1rPuORY&feature=related for example.
Wierdly enough it's kind of radical and minimal at the same point. Quality
on youtube is crap. His album is highly recommended.

I don't know if you are intersted in outboard or DAW based research but I'm
very interested in the possibility of ableton's effect rack and it's
automation through MIDI (faderfoxes in my case, bodzin's got a lemur).

Hey Marc,
  I guess my request was a bit vague so I will try to explain as best I can
what exactly I am looking for.  I guess I am looking to get better use out
of the numerous effects that I have at my disposal.  At the moment I use
effects to position a sound in a mix or to change how something sounds or
simple delays etc.  I am looking to use these effects beyond what I
currently use them for so I am thinking there must be something to say if
you change this particular parameter you will get his type of effect.

  I am not finding it easy to explain this so I hope you got something from
what I just said. J

Regards,

Declan.

Hey all,
  I am wondering if anybody has any FX tips or a link to an online resource?
I have very little knowledge on how to get any decent FX in my music so
anything would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Declan.
