lapasoa Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Nothing better than have a pair of marracas and a good mic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 GM synths like the TTS-1 have a Cabasa on note #69 (A above middle C), and Maraca on note #70. I've been using these sounds from a Roland D-110 for decades (!) to do 'shaker' patterns. Some years ago I created an SFZ instrument of the D-110's drum kit that I can share on request. PM me an e-mail address if you want to give it a whirl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Dickens Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Go buy a shaker (< $20!), shake it in front of a mic & be done way before you get done fiddle-farting with trying to fake it. Hell, if money is too tight, throw some beans in a can. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 88 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Yes, I find shakers one of the easiest things to record and place in a track. I have a bunch of kids toys laying around for just that reason. It can be pretty amazing how adding one live part added can make the whole thing sound live. Even a bad recording of it. If I can do it I always will use a real sleigh bell, or shaker or clav sticks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razor7music Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I have a couple egg shakers. Not expensive and you have the option of using one or two in the same hand if you want a slightly different sound. Real shakers also add a human feel to a track, so I'm going to 2nd (or 3rd) that suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiddle-farting? I wager I'll have my MIDI track recorded before you can find your car keys. ;^) But, seriously, I can see where the advice to 'just record a real one' is sort of an extension of my 'just play it in real time' advice often given to those asking how to humanize their MIDI sequences, and I'm inclined to second it. The one caveat I would add in this case is that, in my experience, 'playing' a shaker well and consistently can be a more challenging musical endeavor than one might imagine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grab a good part. Quantize it. Copy/paste. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckebaby Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) If the guy wanted real shakers he wouldn't be on this forum asking if Cakewalk had any included shaker sounds. Edited October 24, 2019 by Chuck E Baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 My go-to shakers, tambourines and other hand percussion is Shimmer Shake Strike from In Session Audio. $79 at the moment for the expanded version. It's a Kontakt instrument, but does not require full Kontakt, just the free player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
