I wasn't sure exactly where to post this...
I'm looking for suggestions on how to recreate this effect from The Cars' "Moving in Stereo":
View attachment Moving in Stereo Tone Sweep.mp3
I think there's a number of oscillators running and a filter is being swept across them. It is periodic (and continues throughout the song), but the sweep rate doesn't appear to be linear within each cycle. There's also what sounds like mains hum that would be nice to include.
Why I'm asking, if anybody cares, is I got a wild-hare idea to try to reproduce a "classic" track and see how close I can get using soft synths, amp sims, and virtual drums. I'm not sure why I picked this one - maybe I've always been hooked by that effect, or the silly stereo panning, or the use of the word "tremolo". Right now I have the drum pattern (which fortunately for me is very simple) and a few of the synth patches within tweaking distance, and I'm in the process of learning/rehearsing the guitar parts before I sit down to record them.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.
