Use the modwheel, Luke!
Hey all,
for a long time now, I'm looking for a library that will add some high movement / suspense (hi hats, cymbals, metals, etc...) to the low and mid end area of a rhythm (drums, taiko, epic perc, etc...), unfortunately, to no avail.
There's a lot of stuff out there, especially the Heavyocity libs, like Evolve, Damage, Master Series. They all feature tons of material, but it always sounds too processed and gritty. And sometimes even worse: there are intentional pauses in some loops, that take out the "speed" of it.
Still, I love these libraries, but they don't offer anything more universal and less in the face for my purposes.
A lot of mileage I got out of Stylus (wish they would release new stuff!), but once you used a loop, it's burnt. Yes, you can use the Chaos engine, that's true. But most of the time, I come up with something I don't like. Maybe I need to dig deeper...
I also got Momentum from Impact Soundworks, whereas the library is interesting, it doesn't give the sound that I need. It's more for unconventional stuff. Again, it serves it's purpose, just not for my particular case.
Got all the HybridTwo stuff (Alpha, Bravo, Chaos), nice libraries and in terms of high end rhythms they might even come damn close to what I'm looking for. But it's just not 100% there, yet.
Almost forgot about DM-307... whereas it's a nice drum machine, I never liked the concept of it. There's no drag and drop for MIDI files, the instrument slots are limited to one instrument for each category...
I want something that you add on top of your existing perc / drum rhythm and the groove really speeds up.
I know, I should really sit down and take the time to create my own loops. But as always, when you need it, you don't have time to do it.
So, do you guys have any tip for a library, or do you use a certain drum VST, that can create these kind of loops in no time?
