What kinda reverb/delay is that, its ear piercing so unique

The Roots-Dont Say Nothin-
The low string on the down beat, flanger? detune? dam that scottie

Lil Jon-Wat U Gon Do
Lil Scrappy's verse at the very beggining, delay echo flanger thing....?

Three Six Mafia-Will Blast
Sampled slowed down chorous going around stuttering

Paul Wall-Sitting Sideways / Outkast-Hey Ya
Funny frog bass? Modulation?

Puff Daddy-Is This The End (Part 2)/Bone Thugs-The Righteous Ones/
Bizzy Bone-Voices In My Head
Synths, they sound like sonars and computer sounds

Outkast-Rosa Parks
That snare sounds like a submarine sonar

Mannie Fresh-We Fresh
What kinda synths are those? the ones thats are really squelchy and stand out in the stereo spectrum

Lloyd banks-On fire
Detuned old sounding piano at the very end of the songs

Krayzie Bone-Sad Song / Jay Z-Renagade / Eminem-Im Back
Sliding Bass sound. Frettless?

Ginuwine-Ride My Pony /Eazy E N Bone Thugs-Sleepwalkers
Gargle bass

Big Tymers-Project Bitch
Blip bubble sound going up n down, really deep sub bass that sounds like a dj scratch

Notorious Big & 50 cent-Realest Niggas
Biggies Voice at around 52 seconds, bit reduction?

112 ft T.I.-Going Down Tonight
Backwards beat....all of it.....but makes sense

Ludacris-Move Bitch / R Kelly-Gigalo
Low short decay sine waves making that bounce

JayZ-Snoopy Track / Chamillionare-Ridin Dirty
Backwards String?

Amerie & T.I.-Touch / David Banner - Play
Mosquito Synth?


Sorry if im bad at explaining things. Im just a curious person
If u dont like the song dont whine, im just asking the technicalities of what went into doing these things.

Guess no one has any ideas on any of these.

the "Ride My Pony" bass that is the hook most likely comes from the Studio Electronics Chameleon, the lesser known brother of the SE-1 that's well known as a Mini-Moog knockoff. i stumbled across that patch about the time that song was out, it was a preset that sounded pretty dead on right out of the box. spent about 5 minutes messing around with the riff and variations of it and moved on to what i was supposed to be working on..


any synth or sampler that has some kind of "vowel"-ey filter capability couple probably do it. great tune, though - one of Timbo's best.

Thats good to know, thats some pretty old school equipment tho.

Anyone else have sometin to share or have things they find interesting.

oh - "Hey Ya" bass, from what i remember just sounds like a Moog-ish bass with envelope modulated lo pass filter.

any synth that has a decent saw wave bass and an ADSR envelope that can be assigned to the filter could do the trick, set the filter cutoff fairly low, filter-to-envelope control about midway to start with, and adjust the decay & release of the envelope. one you get the right decay, play with the attack to get the right amount of filter "funk", you'll hear it when you are in the ballpark.
