Real Sax & Horns for Worship!
Despite having oodles of technology and sound libraries at my disposal, I’ve been gradually shifting towards the use of professionally played and recorded instruments for everything – except for my piano and keys – those will remain on amateur status until further notice! First came the live-recorded drum tracks, and then real bass & guitars – all courtesy of services provided by Studiopros.com. It’s been much more difficult, however, to locate an online studio specializing in Brass – Horns and Sax. Brass plays a key role in the type of music I write because I use it to melodically interweave with the piano. So the authenticity of the sax & horns is extremely important, and despite using some great acoustic modeling technology, there’s only so much “pizazz” you can produce from a MIDI controller.
Fortunately, I recently stumbled upon NewYorkBrass.com and after some discussions decided to give them a go on the tune of their choice; they chose Worship. If these folks work out, I plan to re-record the prior tunes and, of course, use them on future projects! Here’s the newly recorded version with REAL horns and sax…
Bear in mind this is an unpolished, low-resolution mix (MP3) so the levels and tone need to be dialed in, but it’s good enough for a preview post. And most importantly, to get your feedback!
