I am working on a song that has a 12/8 feel, and I am using the Nashville 128 RealDrums pattern, which fits real well, but for bass, guitar, and piano, I am not seeing any that specify the 12/8 feel.

Are there any of the others that would work?


If ever a man had it all, it would have to be me, and ooh I love you

There are a couple of 12/8 RTs - Bass and Pedal Steel. If you have them and not seeing them, the tempo is probably out of range. They still may work though. Also, try any swing feel RT. I've found most of the jazz RTs fit fine into 12/8.

There are a lot of RealTracks that work well with 12/8. In general, any slow, Swing 8th note style will work. This is because we think of 12/8 as a slow 4/4 with a triplet feel. For example, Moonlight Sonata could be considered (by us anyway) to be in 4/4, with a triplet feel.

Examples of RealTracks like this are _CRYSTAL.STY which sounds like this

Also, Blues slow ones like _MDDYSLD.sty
sounds like this... http://64.40.109.32/audio/allstyledemos/_MDDYSLD.wma

Another group of styles that work are Waltz styles played in "Triple Time". That will take a waltz (3/4) at a tempo of 150, and play it like it was a 4/4 style at a tempo of 50, so that each beat has a full bar of waltz. That is esp. useful for soloists.


Have Fun!

kerkenat,

You can also use the style filter to narrow down styles that have the same feel and tempo of a selected style. It works great for things like a 12/8 time, feel and tempo styles. You have to set one as a "prototype" first by selecting a style that is similar, then click prototype button, then up to the filter button to have the filter narrow down like-minded styles.
