Recreate a classic G-Funk synth
Computer Music, Wed 15 Jul 2009, 10:03 am UTC
Produced by Dr Dre, Gin & Juice is a G-Funk classic from Snoop Doggy Dogg’s debut album Doggystyle. We’re going to show you how to recreate its squealing lead line using LinPlug’s Predator, a demo of which can be downloaded here.
Step 1: Start by loading up the mighty Predator and clicking the Preset display in the channel to bring up the patch management menu. Select Default Preset, which will initialise the synth and enable us to create a sound from scratch. It opens up a sine tone patch, which is already quite close to the sound we're after.
