Hi,
I'd like to add a trumpet (solo or background) to a train style country song... I have in memory those you can hear in spaghetti western movies, a bit of a mexican style...
But I can't find any... do I missed one?

As a trumpet player, I just had to read your post. A Mexican country railroad song? Hmmm.
Weren't those movies made in Italy?
I think a Raphael Mendez type player would work (he might even be the one who played on them in the studios of the 50s and 60s).
But in BIAB? I don't know.

Thanks for your replies,
Yes I'm looking for the Raphael Mendez's style of trumpet
NAYARIT could have been the one but my song is 4/4 so the result is not great...
I think I will have to pick an Harmonica instead, more common but no choice apparently...

Could you provide a link to a YouTube video with an example of what you're looking for? I could look into it, and at worst pass it forward to our developers as a feature request for you.
Cheers,
Deryk

You might try: RealTracks in song: 1064:Trumpet, Soloist SmoothJazzBallad Ev16 065 (set it to Half-Time to get it to work for something in the 120-140 bpm range). You should be able to find some phrases that will work for you to fit the spaghetti-Western thing. I used it in a song - picking phrases that worked - it is in the Showcase if you want to hear it... https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=344572#Post344572

To give you an exemple, as requested by Deryk (thanks for your concern, I appreciate) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hnt8M_80udo Yes, the 1064 seems to work, even if it's not exactly that, I'm gonna see if I can't do something with it anyway ! BTW Floyd, very nice song and the way you manage to blend vocal and trumpet altogether is impressive...

That's really beautiful trumpet playing.
I think he's playing with less vibrato than I recall Mendez using, but that's something that varies with the times. I don't even use as much vibrato as the YouTube example. But this is a great link - short, minor key, and very representative of the sound.
"Spaghetti trumpet" - I have to remember that.

Interresting library indeed (especially the opera singer)... but a little too pricey just to add a trumpet on my song.

Thanks! I appreciate that. I've never heard the term Spaghetti Trumpet so this gives context. Solid tune, reminds me of Ring of Fire (as someone else mentioned). I've found a few Styles that fit the bill pretty close (to my untrained ear at least). They just don't include any trumpet, so you may need to manually add that to your track yourself. I have passed along a request for content like this, to our developers. Try checking out these Styles: _SITBACK _HIPPIE _OLDTIME _HOKEY _CHOO To give you an exemple, as requested by Deryk (thanks for your concern, I appreciate) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hnt8M_80udo Yes, the 1064 seems to work, even if it's not exactly that, I'm gonna see if I can't do something with it anyway !

If you want to have total control over tone and notes you might want to try a MIDI trumpet. Google/Bing trumpet vst you will find a number of them with some being free: https://hiphopmakers.com/free-trumpet-vst-plugins-best-trumpet-vst-instrumentsUsing EQ and compression you can tailor the sound to your liking. If a RealTrack trumpet comes close and it has a scoring chart with it you can use the chart as MIDI and select a MIDI trumpet sound. This is best done in a DAW.
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
