RICHARD HUTCHINS Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 Cheers I'll have a listen.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD HUTCHINS Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 Okay, got the right sound for the bass, thanks all. Can I be a bit cheeky and now ask what is out there for a decent sax sound? I didn't ask earlier because I only just thought it might be a good thing to accompany the bass! If I was a bit pretentious I'd say it was the creative process, but maybe I better not push my luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a bit pretentious I'd say it was the creative process, but maybe I better not push my luck! Sax is a trickier instrument to pull off than bass. There's a few decent ones available but they can still sound phony to my ears (a lot has to do in understanding the sax, how it's played, it's limitations & nuances) A bit pricey depending on your budget but I'll throw this one out there for you to check out anyway. https://www.orchestraltools.com/store/collections/duplex-saxophones If you can't find one you're happy with try substituting a synth instead. The end results might sound more realistic. Edited October 26, 2021 by hsm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Dickens Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 You could try https://www.garritan.com/products/jazz-big-band-3/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD HUTCHINS Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 These sound great. Trouble is... pricey! I dont mean not worth it, I just mean for a totally unknown song writer its a lot of cash for one song. That comes across as a bit mean to be honest, but its not the same as say drums or guitar, these are essential on all of my tracks, sax for this song, its a one off. I'll have a ponder. The Juno Alto sax is okay ish and free ( obvs) but not really in the same league as the ones you can buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
