Here's my first User Track: Flute, Pop Solo 120

It's a sampled flute, using the Vintage Horns library.

Here's the demo track: FluteSoloDemo.mp3

It's only a 1 minute track, so there's not a lot of material. Lots of reverb helps. laugh

Feedback is welcome!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

First this is great right out of the gate.
Until I re-read your posting thought it was you playing.
Vintage Horns library sounds really good.

I know with your vocal work, your ear is more critical than mine.
There are a few anomalies, but think that is the nature of how
the UT's work. More complex notes, more anomalies with work I was trying to do.

Am so happy to have someone else over here in the darkside.

Sheez, the sounds of that flute, now you triggered my "I want-it " syndrome.

Wasnt reading close enough but here is another demo using your UT.

Hope my memory is right..

Thanks David for your work and sharing.

Hi, Frank.

Glad to know you liked the track! I'm supposed to be working on something else right now, but I thought I'd have a go at doing a track anyway. I printed out the 10 minute template, but don't have the time or energy for that right now!

I let the "I want it" syndrome get the better of me when I got the Vintage Horns library. It turned out to only run on Windows 7, and I'm still running Vista. So I sampled all the instruments at all the articulations on a VPC, rendering in non-realtime mode. Then I split the wave files and built a bunch of .sfz files by hand. Garritan's Aria Player does a pretty good job playing .sfz files back.

I've done several iterations of this track, removing some of the recurring motifs and simplifying some parts. 32 bars isn't a whole lot of material! The more I stuck with chordal tones, the better. There are still a couple clinkers in there.

I edited out a lot of notes at the end of measures that sounded great leading into the measure that followed - but not so great with others. Grace notes at the start of the measure also seem to be a dicey proposition with recombination.
