The horns in Logic are excellent and underrated. You can buy other vendor studio or orchestral horns, spend lots of money, and barely come close to Logic’s samples and articulation flexibility. I’ve been using Studio Horns in pop, funk and R&B for years. 👍
Yeah, even if you have better horns, you can blend them all together and get a real unique sound that might really emulate an orchestra. Thanks for commenting! More coming soon!
George. I have learnt so much since finding your channel thank you. This along with your strings video is super useful. I’m keen to try some similar techniques on some funk tracks!
hey George! just landed in India and I'm doing this same sort of thing for some Indian male and female voices to go over a low drone for the gig on Friday. Always happy to see doing your thing man. For the extra brass stuff I have to do a lot of trumpet and bone combos so I'm just auto sampling them from my roland arsenal. cool vid man.
I’m from for a trombone slide a major 6th up (the slide as a whole lasts about an 1/8 note at medium tempo.) Haven’t fiddled long enough I suspect. Will just getting the right automation curve on the pitch be the major factor for authenticity on the slide? BTW, I’m doubling - two trombones playing the same note for this melody, BTW.
Thanks for your comment - it really is a trial and error thing. You might want to try a mono bone with the pitch bend set at 2, then play the fifth then slide up to the 6th using the pitch bend wheel. I just tried it, it kinda works where you get the feel of the slide without getting the entire slide up. I tried setting the pitch wheel at 9 but then the sample gets wonky. Since you are using multiple bones, you can try doing one with the setting I recommended, then another where the pitch bend is set to 4 and you play the 4th and pitch bend up to the 6th. Nothing really compares to the real thing, but maybe this will help?
@@GGabrielMusic Thanks! I'll get it a try. Those different combinations between the two bones will certainly give each an individual character. I suppose if I could find a recording of a trombone sliding up a major sixth, I could import it into Logic just for listening - and slow it way down to get a feel for the sonic shape of the half-parabola needed for an authentic automation curve :-)
