RE: Need plugin Advice
well its more the instruments im into- you know the kind early jamiroquai uses- liquid bass, various boards, flutes, horn sections and stuff - basically instrumenst you may find cropping up in kruder and dorfmeister or zero 7- again its that im trying to sound like these but have wanna know their sources- it cant all be live can it? fair enough if it is-
i just found the philharmonik so useable- some instantly gratifying patches which also sound pretty realistic- im getting my head round orchestrating to make them sound a bit better- so relaly wanted something that offered the same quality but for pop/jazz instruments- looking toward the more jazz - basically so i an cover all the bases...
ive got to a point where im pretty genreless... either doing the house beats (like i used to), providing beats for some local mc's, doin laid back jazzy styled stuff or doing pure music like pianos and orrchestras with no drums or percussion- plus mixes of the whole lot...
i finally found a way i like to work- write on the mpc, record track by track into SF, align tracks in acid, mix and structure from there- am doing very little in mastering as i never was any good at it but have some lovely plugins and am just finding separating the process i get the very best of both worlds-
still getting latency probs which is why i generally record beats into the pc and then mess around over the top either on the mp or in acid- the new acid is brilliant- people can scoff but im now compleely non-anal- any program, gear, sound source or sample is fair game! oh to evolve....
