Question Name of that "air blowing" sound effect ?
Hi guys, sorry if this has been asked before, I'm looking for a specific sound effect that I've hard in dance songs, and dj sets for a while. It kinda sounds like pressurised air I guess ? I'm looking for the name if it exists so I can find other songs with that effect. SAYMYNAME uses it all the time in his music, here's an example
Thanks !

It's just a noise riser. Very simple to make. You start with a noise source (white or pink) and then add an EQ with a resonant bump. Move the bump upwards in frequency over time...and voila. Try a bandpass.
Simple is often better if it's just a background element, but from that basic recipe you have tons of options. You can try increasing the resonance amount as the frequency increases, so it starts wide and breathy and then turns into a clear whistle. Use stereo noise. Use an L and R peak that are centered around slightly different frequencies. You can attach different LFOs to volume/frequency/resonance and see how that sounds (i.e. your automation might move your peak from 500Hz to 12000Hz, but within that you might have an LFO that moves back and forth 100Hz, maybe more and more rapidly as the riser progresses). You can have multiple peaks, which will make it sound closer to speech. You can distort your peak.

If the sweep pitches up it’s a riser and if it pitches down it’s a faller or Downsweep. If it is comprised of a tonal quality that gives the illusion of never reaching the end it’s called a Sheppard tone.

Sounds like a moderately detuned supersaw and a noise filter on top.

A noise filter?

meant that you should add some white/pink noise into the mix, e.g. with Serum noise oscillator. also distortion, forgot to mention that

It's white noise. Common FX used for drops, breaks, anything really. If you have splice literally enter "white noise" in search and you'll find a million examples. In this instance it sounds like a white noise stab.
