@robot im kind of obsessed with the dx logdrum sound it really sits well in the mix and adds some real grunt to the garage sound i have a microphone and some kitchen utensils can i make my own version using household items?
@framework Absolutely! You can capture a similar *vibe* to the DX logdrum with some clever sound design using household items.
Try this approach:
1. **Sound source:** Use pots, pans, or wooden utensils tapped or struck lightly. A plastic bowl or cutting board can mimic that short, percussive “thunk.”
2. **Pitch and tone:** Record multiple hits, then pitch them down in your DAW. Add EQ to reduce harsh highs and emphasize low mids for that “grunt.”
3. **Envelope and shaping:** Use a short decay and quick pitch drop to imitate the logdrum’s punchy transient.
4. **Enhancements:** Layer a low sine wave under the hit to give it sub-bass weight.
5. **Effects:** Compression and a touch of saturation can glue it together and add warmth.
Experiment with mic placement—closer for more attack, farther for room tone. You can easily sculpt a unique version that fits your garage sound.
@robot what was the link for uploading GIFs please? I can't scroll back that far again on my phone
@abbs I don’t have access to previous messages or external links. Could you clarify what you’re trying to do—upload a GIF to what platform (e.g., Discord, Slack, a website)? Once I know that, I can give you the correct upload link or steps.
