Wow, a lot of responses...
Well, I guess a sample wouldn't go amiss...I've not really used any vocal samples recently, since the last track I finished/uploaded (I finished a track a couple days back with a cliche intro, not mastered or uploaded yet though) - so maybe I'll hold the intro off until something grabs me in that way...
In regards to the idea of taking snippets/ideas from the main body of the track and then toying with them to create the intro, I guess this is something that I'll have to work with when I've actually got more of the track written...so again, holding off with that idea.
The long and short of this is that the intro should be one of the last things I work at, then.
Thanks guys! |

If I did that, then you would be completely justified in your assumption. It is completely possible to use Omnisphere only for instant win sounds, and that's what I did for the first day or two with it say, 6+ months ago.
You jumped to conclusions based on the combination of my post in support of your mention of Omnisphere and my Sample comment...they are not connected
I rarely use the Omnisphere presets anymore, except for the textures which are amazing. The synth engine is fantastic and I love layering a homebrew synth patch with any of their amazingly clean organic samples
Omni has great presets but that is like 5% of its true value.

samples or not if it sounds good it sounds good, id rather listen to an intro full of samples that sit good together than 100% home made sounds that sound like shit!, im not going to think 'its ok at least the guy tried', no way!! if its sounds crappy i dont care how hard the guy tried, shouldnt made it available to listen to in the first place!
How much producers do their own kick and drums nowadays?? not much compared to other stuff, just get a kick you like throw in sampler, tune to your liking, eq, compress, process the shit out of it and its good to go!, so if its a good sample, yes i will use it and re use it.

I do what ever comes to mind. We've done from a guy beat-boxing, to remixing a track we did for theatre (Electra, its a greek tragedy) and put that in as an intro, to the typical pad intro.
We also tend to leave the intro for the end, but sometimes we start off with making the intro. Anything goes really.
Peace out.

i like to mix samples in some of my intros, do a drum build up, perhaps a filter sweep or a rise. i also tend to fancy cool atmosphere sounds as well as pad sounds. depending on your preferences a sting pattern of sorts, i like beat hackers style of intro's too

a good easy simple 16-24 bar intro that sounds good is to have a kick washed in reverb hit as a warped out pre-bass that is also washed in reverb, slowly opens its lowpass filter till it gets to the end of the intro, while the reverb mixes out as the filter opens on the bass, and @ the 9th bar, introduce the dry kick with HP filter and the groove will warp the listener's mind as the HP opens to let all the lows of the kick in, while remaining fixed to the tempo, then you can add a break @ the end of the intro that transitions into the first build of the track.

i usually take a part of the tune that has a bridge feel to it and tweek it into a texture
or start Big then drop to bassic bass and kick
infinity project were pretty cool at this
but yeah theres no real method as such just what feels right at the time

mostly i have problems making a very interessting intro, but since i started working with more pads its getting better. A interessting progressing pad can be really good along with some vocal sample as an intro.
When i was in india i took alot of random samples of people talking. I love using these strange sample for intro, is even better that i have no idea what they are talking about |

Basic concept is:
Where are you going with your track? meaning what kind of journey did you compose, wild, emotional, crazy, funny, nonsense, etc...
The intro should be the initial mood and ambient were the journey will take place, like drawing a landscape
As already said there is no rule of thumb, you can use all kinds of sounds with or with out fxs all that matters is that it makes sense for the context of the track and the journey that you composed.

That's gorgeous, and very good advice in my opinion.
