jabraham Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I can't find a list of the "More than 1700 sampled instruments" included in Logic Pro/Studio. I'm happy with Logic Express for the most part but don't have enough samples. For instance, I have no tuba sample as far as I can tell. (I have about a thousand bass guitars tho, apparently the tuba isn't as popular as the bass guitar.) Rather than spending $$$$ for third party samples, maybe I could just upgrade to Pro/Studio? Can someone post/send a list? Particular interested in horn/wind sounds (sax, trombone, trumpet, tuba, french horn, oboe, etc...) -- John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Robin Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I haven't got a list for you but would make you aware that some of those samples in Logic are pretty poor if you want to emulate the sound of a real instrument - Especially flutes, woodwind. The way to solve it is by buying rather expensive sample libraries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Robin Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Or make friends with the tuba player. They aren't all that bad. ....Sure. I was generalising - The ones I was interested in are mostly bad, or should I say very disappointing. Is the Tuba in EXS24? [RR goes off to find and try the Tuba with his EWI] Hey! Your impro called "Peace" is rather beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev. Juda Sleaze Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Here's the woodwinds and brass in Logic 8, I don't think anything new has been added in Logic 9. They're not terrible samples, with the exception of the trumpets perhaps, which I find disgusting. The trombone section is pretty yucky too. One of the main problems is the lack of articulations. You just get legato and staccato. The tuba is one of the better ones IMO. There are also alto, tenor and barritone saxophones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev. Juda Sleaze Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Also, if you're looking for cheap brass, I think it's worth checking out Sampletekk's Big Orchestral Brass for EXS24 (that is included in Logic Express, right?). These are ancient, 16bit samples, but I'm actually pretty happy with them, with the right ambience they can sound very realistic, more so than you'd guess from the demos. The main reason I'm recommending them is because there's 50% off now in Sampletekk's winter sale, so you can pick it up for under $50. http://www.sampletekk.com/proddetail.php?prod=STDELIVER-018-FORMAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibt Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 To add to what you already have, there are free brass (and other) samples here (from University of Iowa Electronic Music Studios) (Spotted on this thread, courtesy of the Reverend) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Robin Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 ^^^^ http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b308/RedRobin_05/Detailing/Stickers/ROFL.gif So "ibt" is really guy called "bit". ['guy' meaning guy or gal] There's an English northern expression which says: "Where there's muck, there's brass". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev. Juda Sleaze Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Another note on the University of Iowa samples, I've found the arco string samples to be too short to be of any practical use, looping such short notes sounds very unnatural. Of course, the pizz. are ok, but I don't really want strings that can only play pizz. I was particularly impressed with the trumpet though.

jabraham Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Here's the woodwinds and brass in Logic 8, I don't think anything new has been added in Logic 9. Thanks! They're not terrible samples, with the exception of the trumpets perhaps, which I find disgusting. The trombone section is pretty yucky too.There are also alto, tenor and barritone saxophones. I bought the "Kontakt Brass and Sax" library which was cheap and covers trumpet/trombone/sax pretty well. Thanks everyone else too! Gonna try to download some of the other options. -- John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
