For Vintage Strings we recorded a 6 piece violin section using vintage Neuman U-87 mics and Royer ribbon mics run through a great sounding SSL board. To capture a true vintage string sound, we used close mics, room mics, and string section positioning based on actual session notes from old Motown and Philly Soul recording sessions. Rather than record the violins in a magnificent concert hall or some other large and resonant recording space, we recorded our players in a funky old studio with a smaller, less-reverberant room that had characteristics similar to the rooms used to record classic Soul and R&B records. Using the tracks we recorded in this space, we then created three types of sections: 2 VIOLINS: The 2VLN patches are very useful for creating the sound of smaller string sections. Even if played in 3-part harmony, these patches sound like a 6 piece section, rather than a full orchestral string section. The 2VLN patches take up a lot less sonic space in the mix, and also have the advantage of sounding like the smaller types of string sections used on a lot of old Soul and R&B records, which didn't have the time or budget to record a larger section. 6 VIOLINS: The 6VLN patches are great for recording unison (1 part) lines that emulate the sound of a true 6 violin section, which was very commonly used in many old Soul recordings. When used for 2-part harmonies or octaves these patches can be used to replicate the sound of an overdubbed 6 violin section (i.e., a faux 12 violin section), which was a very common recording technique used on many Motown recording sessions. 12 VIOLINS: The 12VLN patches are very useful for creating unison (1 part) string lines that sound like an overdubbed 6 violin section. If you want to get a bigger sound with the size of a larger orchestral string section, without the color and character present in a large recroding hall or symphonic space, use the patches for string parts in 2 or 3 part harmonies. The result is a virtual instrument that has a sound and character that is distinctly different from orchestral based sampled string libraries. The sound of Vintage Strings is intentionally not big, rich, and glossy. It's a smaller, more intimate, and more "human" sound, which more accurately emulates the string sound on those classic old records. FAST AND EASY STRING SECTION PARTS USING PRE-SET PATCHES If you don't have a lot experience writing for strings, or even if you're an experienced string-arranger on a tight deadline, Vintage Strings also offers a number of pre-programmed instrument patches that can help you quickly create great sounding string parts. These include the Tonal Harmonization Patches, which contain 2 part, 3 part, and 4 part patches for 2, 6, and 12 violins. Playing with just one finger on your keyboard you can easily write string lines in 2 parts (intervals), 3 parts (triads), or 4 parts (seventh chords). Secondly, the Tonal Harmonization patches include Fixed Chord & Interval Patches containing 2 part, 3 part, and 4 part Chord Patches, for 2, 6, and 12 violins. These patches are programmed to play a specific interval or chord according to the type of patch in 12 different keys. THE VINTAGE STRINGS GUI The Vintage Strings graphical user interface (GUI) is very simple and easy to use. The main page of the interface includes control over tape saturation, high EQ, and reverb with 15 custom selected convolution reverbs. 复古弦乐是 Kontakt 5 的虚拟乐器, 旨在模仿20世纪60年代和 70年代 r & B、灵魂和 Funk 唱片的经典小提琴弦乐部分。无论你是一个经验丰富的编曲或休闲制作人, 复古弦乐的设计, 使它快速, 方便你创造伟大的冠冕堂皇的字符串轨道为您的生产。像它的姐妹产品, 复古角, 复古弦不是设计为一个闪亮的, 完美的冠冕堂皇的虚拟仪器。相反, 我们试图捕捉到60年代和70年代弦乐部分的发音方式;包括绝对不是古典的打法和小的不完美, 这些都给那些部分增加了性格, 让它们听起来非常好。 对于复古弦乐, 我们记录了一个6件套小提琴部分使用老式纽曼 u-87 麦克风和罗耶丝带麦克风运行通过一个伟大的冠冕堂皇的 SSL 板。为了捕捉真正的复古弦乐, 我们使用了接近的麦克风, 房间麦克风, 和字符串部分定位的基础上, 实际会话笔记从老摩城和菲利灵魂录制会话。我们没有在华丽的音乐厅或其他一些大的、有共鸣的录音空间里录制小提琴, 而是在一个时髦的老工作室里记录了我们的球员, 里面的房间较小, 反响较小, 效果如何, 其特点类似于用来录制经典灵魂的房间和 R & B 记录。使用我们在此空间中记录的轨道, 我们然后创建了三种类型的部分: 2 VI文: 2VLN 修补程序对于创建较小字符串节的声音非常有用。即使是用3个部分的和谐来演奏, 这些补丁听起来也像一个6件的部分, 而不是一个完整的管弦乐弦部分。2VLN 补丁在混合中占用的声音空间少了很多, 而且还有一个优势, 那就是听起来像在很多旧的灵魂和 R & B 记录上使用的较小类型的字符串部分, 这些记录没有时间或预算来记录较大的部分。 6 VI文: 6VLN 补丁是伟大的记录统一 (1份) 线, 模仿一个真正的6小提琴部分的声音, 这是非常常用的许多老灵魂录音。当用于两部分谐波或八度, 这些补丁可以用来复制一个过度配音6小提琴部分的声音 (即, 一个假的12小提琴部分), 这是一个非常常见的录音技术, 在许多摩城录音会话使用。 12视频: 12VLN 补丁是非常有用的创建统一 (1份) 弦线, 听起来像一个过度配音6小提琴部分。如果你想得到一个更大的声音与一个更大的管弦乐部分的大小, 没有颜色和字符存在于一个大的重新编码大厅或交响乐空间, 使用补丁的字符串部分在2或3部分谐波。 其结果是一个虚拟仪器, 它具有与基于管弦乐的采样字符串库明显不同的声音和字符。葡萄酒弦的声音故意不大, 丰富, 有光泽。这是一个更小, 更亲密, 更多的 "人类" 的声音, 更准确地模拟那些经典的旧记录上的字符串声音。 快速、易拉部分采用预置路径 如果你没有很多写字符串的经验, 或者即使你是一个经验丰富的字符串安排在一个紧迫的最后期限, 复古字符串还提供了一些预编程的仪器补丁, 可以帮助您快速创建伟大的冠冕堂皇的字符串零件。其中包括调音协调补丁, 其中包含2个部分、第3部分和4个部分补丁, 适用于2、6和12小提琴。只需在键盘上使用一个手指, 即可轻松地将字符串行书写为2个部分 (间隔)、3个部分 (三合会) 或4个部分 (第七个和弦)。其次, 调音协调补丁包括固定和弦和间隔补丁, 包含2部分、第3部分和4部分和弦补丁, 适用于2、6和12小提琴。这些补丁被编程为根据12个不同键的补丁类型播放特定的间隔或和弦。 葡萄酒条纹图形 复古弦图形用户界面 (GUI) 是非常简单和易于使用。界面的主页包括对磁带饱和度、高 EQ 和带有15个自定义的卷积混响的混响的控制。 |
