Swedish House Mafia Intro Effect.

In this tutorial will see how to make the famous Swedish House Mafia Intro Effect from "One"


Note: you will need to download this sample (or do it yourself like it is explained in steps 5 to 7) --> https://mega.nz/file/kd40xT6J#N63lKodaEgUW-Zt0mS9Xn6gLkmQG3KZxB2B533iA88k

The principle of the effect comes reducing the endpoint of the kick sample, and applying some effects to it.

1. Load a kick.

2. Automate the "EndPoint" of the sample, to reduce it until it sound like a "note".

3. Increase the pitch (in this case, two octaves, but you can try with other values).

4. Apply some effects:

4.1 Add a Tremolo, to give some movement to the sound.
4.1.1 Automate Tremolo Depth.
4.1.2 Automate Tremolo Frequency.

4.2 Add some reverb, to soften the sound.
4.2.1 Automate the W/D knob, to go from dry to 100% wet.

4.3 Add some stereo effect.
4.3.1 Automate the amount of stereo width.

5. Export the track to a wav file (or use the one I linked in the description).

6. Import it into an AudioFileProcessor and select the last portion of it to work as an "instrument".

7. Draw the melody, which includes pitch automation inside the piano roll.
