 Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2013 9:22 pm Post subject: Best tambourine sounds for 1960s British Invasion sound |
 |
|
Looking for an energetic tambourine for verse, and for chorus, something like on this track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lzCtwYG00E
at these times:
1) All out for chorus: 28:48
2) More subtle for verses: 00:31, and 33:15 .
What would be the 1st steps in getting that nice sound, with velocity and hit variations?
Thanks for any pointers!
[Edit: Brain freeze there, sorry - changed the title and posts to the word "tambourine" ... don't know why I used the word "cymbal" instead  ]

Use any groove you want and then adjust the 'Power Hand' as follows:
- set threshold all the way left
- 'New Sound'->'Crash 1'
Experiment with different sounds for Crash 1 to find one that suits you.

Thanks, Ralph. In playing around with it, I couldn't figure out how to get two sounds out of the cymbal:
1) having it sound by rhythmically swinging it back and forth (the cymbal makes the sound when the direction changes).
2) A more complicated one, where the first three beats are like above, but the 4th one is accompanied by the thud of hitting the cymbal's drum-like diaphragm (sorry, I don't know the real name) with the palm of other hand.
Reading what I just wrote, even though it's pretty basic cymbal technique, it sounds kind of complicated for software ... maybe even for JS3? ... maybe I should just buy me a cymbal and record it? No problem doing that, but getting the timing would be a lot less effort if JS3 could do this!

Yes, directional changes cannot be achieved in software unless it was sampled that way, which I don't think anyone has done. Same for palm hitting the cymbal.

OK, Ralph - thank you for that info ... I can do analog too!
Or - does anyone recommend any sample libraries that have strong emphasis on this 60's style tambourine sound? They would have to be not too taxing and easy to use - my computer is old and slow (some say that applies to my cerebrum as well, but hmmm)!
Cheers -
