TomKent Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Yup, another track! [url="http://tiny.cc/o7djs"]The Chicken[/url] Also note the amazing midi horns I use, if anyone knows of a decent horn plugin I'd be most grateful if you could point me in the direction of it.

MuckedUpFunkies Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Nice performance of possibly my fav song ever. I think you should increase the tempo but thats just personal preference. In terms of a better plug in have you tried Kontact? =) Dan Edited May 6, 2011 by MuckedUpFunkies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomKent Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Cheers man The tempo is slightly slower because my wrists have been giving me hell the past few days and any faster would've killed me. Just looked at Kontact, blooming expensive but knowing them it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at Kontact, blooming expensive but knowing them it's worth it.[/quote] Tom - sounds good. I use Kontakt 4.2, its the way to go. Huge amount of libraries out there that sound pretty much spot on. As far as Pop/Jazz horns go, there are four really worth a look. Not just for the sounds but also for the articulations [thats what makes them come alive and more realistic/usable] Word of warning - it gets expensive...so if its just for re doing the Chicken, I would stick with General MIdi sounds Check out the Demo sounds Garritan Jazz & Big Band [come with own sample/patch player] [url="http://www.garritan.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=144&Itemid=56"]http://www.garritan.com/index.php?option=c...4&Itemid=56[/url] Mojo Horns [url="http://www.vir2.com/instruments/mojo-horn-section"]http://www.vir2.com/instruments/mojo-horn-section[/url] Chris hein horns [url="http://www.chrishein.net/CHH%20V1.5/chhv1_productsite.htm"]http://www.chrishein.net/CHH%20V1.5/chhv1_productsite.htm[/url] A oldie but still going strong - [you would need to convert in Kontakt format - but Kontakt 4 does this from within] [url="http://avaxhome.ws/software/software_type/multimedia/Pro_Audio_Plugins/east_west_quantum_leap_brass_akai.html"]http://avaxhome.ws/software/software_type/...brass_akai.html[/url] Garry Edited May 7, 2011 by lowdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckedUpFunkies Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Kontact really is brilliant. It will open up so many more possibilities for backing tracks too. The slower tempo does give a great feel though so doesnt really matter. The way to go with all PC equipment is too find a nice student and buy it in there name =L I got Kontakt for around £180 I think Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalMan Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Have you got IK Sampletank. They doe a free player & sound set now, and you can build quite a nice layered set from that I think - I have the full version and a load more sample sets so I may have built mine from more than comes with the free version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
