I have recently been studying the make up of tracks by listening carefully to them and trying to identify all the different sounds that make up the track. I It has come to my attention that a lot of tracks e.g breeze and styles, have a constant hissing/wooshing noise in the background while the main synth riff is playing. Does anyone know what sound is used to achieve this background noise. Any idea?

Any VST/Synth really can make Hissing and swooshing noises.. Ones with Noise waves on them anyway,
Here's a good tip for Background noises. :)
quote:
wanna give those half-finished tunes of yours a new lease of life? wanna some nice subtle background percussion going on in your tracks ALA carola/gaetek.
well this is how i do it.
mixdown a 1/2/4 bar loop of one of your 'dead' tracks (include everything except the kick). Cut all the bass below 300-400 hz and cut the top end untill you have a fairly 'thin' sliver of sound left , remember no booming bass and no hi fre harshness.. then save. Start a new track, add the treated 'loop' and let it sit subtly in the background and for greater effect use slight narrow banded eq sweeps up and down or use an automated filter effect.. add your kicks, perc , hihats, and usual bitsl around and hopefully you'll have a a nice full sounding track ... always does the trick for me icon_smile.gif
if you want an example of how i did this you could listen to some of my OLD OLD tunes up on mp3.com (dont judge me on these i've been hard at work since!! (will post some new ones)) www.mp3.com/massplanck and listen to 'killnetwork'.. the main 'groove' of the track was done in a similar way.. i converted an old tune to a rex file and did the above
anyway.. give it a shot

get some white noise and filter it to taste, also try sticking it through various effects and stuff
