Often times in music production, you may find yourself in need of a transition to segway from one section of a track into another. There are various ways in which this can be done, but one in particular that can fit the bill is a classic riser transition. Whether you may realize it or not, there’s a good chance that you’re already familiar with this type of effect, as its often found in modern E.D.M. and hip-hop/trap styles of music. It has a signature sound, and there’s a good reason why it gets used – simply put, it just works..
Although there are numerous sample packs available with these types of transitions, they can easily be generated (and customized) using the right type of Virtual Instrument. In fact, this is often more preferable, as with a couple quick tweaks of a parameter here and there, you can easily come up with something that fits the track, and has its own unique sound.
In this 1st video of a 2 part free tutorial series with the support of Waves, Marcus demonstrates how to use the Waves Codex Wavetable Synth plug-in to create a custom riser transition in a hip-hop/trap song. In addition to using Codex, he also turns to Waves OneKnob Pumper to help create a gated effect, as well as Renaissance Reverb to add some depth and ambience.
