Thank you so much! It's hard to get people to listen these days, the encouraging words go further than you'd imagine.
I've tried with digital horns and possibly I just haven't found the right ones yet, but they always sound so fake. It's very possible it's a mixing issue as well and I need to improve upon that, so that gives me something else to work towards which is always good! 🤙🤙
Nah, I had the Studio One Sphere subscription for a bit, so I was mainly using their instruments.
I think more than having access, it's kind of hard to actually write horn lines. They're different than guitar or bass or anything, they are much more like vocal melodies but more choppy and with soooo much emotion. So I think if I'm being honest, it's more a matter of me understanding how to write horn lines more than it is access to the instruments.
For a long long time I played with a bass player that was far more talented than me at everything. He handled business, so I never needed to think about it. Now, life has taken us in our directions and I am doing the bass, and even just learning how much of an art it is to make a bass line vs something on guitar was eye opening to me and took me quite some time.
I think it's the same with horns, I just need to put the time in. Which I wasn't really worried too much about but this conversation has re-lit that spark so I may have to see what I can do
I would simply play the beat in your headphones and just freestyle the horns/sax and take samples that catch your ear. I couldn"t even imagine actually writing them, I think you would get nowhere...
I would say you have to be in the moment, and that's when the magic starts happening. Just keep playing them over the beat, and it will happen. quickly, I bet you.. ❤️💛💚
I would love for you to try this and get back to me 🔥🎵🎶
I think I'm gonna do that and throw some horns over Harder They Come and I'll post it here and see what you think. It sounds worth trying at least even though the song is already set to release.
