The moment you added the self-modulating vocoder was when the sound started to become natural. The spectral processing rounds off the transients just perfectly. I was surprised that you didn't use more allpass filters though. You had the phaser at one point and a bit of disperser at the end, but I think there's some more potential for allpasses when it comes to water synthesis. Modulated stacks of allpass filters, like Diopser, can sound fluid and spectral ones, like MFreeformphase, introduce juicy pre-ringing, which resembles the reflection of the water from the surface during the impact of a waterdrop on the floor. If you wanna go absolutely crazy you could even incorporate a bit of binaural panning to craft a depth perception with water drops of varying distance and angles
Yes! Omg mfreeformphase is super fun to play around with, ill have tobplay around with it a bit more. Abletons vocoder is actually one of my favorite pieces of DSP tbh. It has so many uses and is great for making things sound organic in general, not just for watery stuff.
Those watery Vocoder sounds remind me of the early electronic music experiments from the 50s, like Stockhausen’s, who also used lots of bandpass filters.
Synthesizing nature / mimicking human vowels with leads always sounds great, I think it is because you can relate somehow to the sound and it feels natural even if it's not!
Amazing video man! I'm all for trying to recreate organic sounds with synthesis. I really enjoyed your method with randomizing high resonance on filter.
Your videos are great, the explanations are clear and the subject is interesting, you got yourself another subscriber. If I may suggest something, you might wanna get rid of the gate on your voice, because instead of helping, the constant clicks and noises when you breath loud enough or say "ehm" are super distracting and kinda the opposite of ASMR, in that they cause me to have fits of homicidal rage. Aside from that, good job!
Hahaha thanks! I've got a new mic now which picks up a lot less room/background noise. This old one picked up way too much. But yeah in hindsight, the gate is probably more annoying 🤣
Great video and very inspiring! I wasn’t aware of the LFOi and would really like to try it, but I can’t find it anywhere on the interwebs… do you got any hints where to look for it?

Great video, Thanks for the info!
No problem!
cool video, been messing with watery sound a lot lately, always neat to see how other people do it
Man, this was such an interesting watch. Really well paced and would love to see more videos like this!
Thanks! Yeah I really enjoy making videos in this kinda format too, so I'll probably continue doing a similar thing for most of my future videos :)
New to your channel. Really enjoyed the video, mate..... SUBBED.
Also; thanks for the LFOi tip... It's ace!
No problem! Thankyou very much for the sub!
Great video! Glad I discovered your channel
Thankyou!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Love this approach to sound design! So interesting to find out what natural sounds look like!
100%! It also just opens your mind to try things you might not think about trying otherwise.
thats cool
