Description

Focusing on soft and breathy technique, harnessing unique sampled material, explore new and inspired trumpet textures we think will fill a void in your template. For every sale the good folks at Hometree will plant a tree.

From a very playable legato to replicating the sounds of a horse to sustains mimicking Morse code, you’ll easily find something to add extra flavour to your work. Combined with the ‘Seven Day’ Kontakt engine which stacks reverbs and delays, you can swiftly sculpt these sounds into ethereal soundscapes, or loop-like experiments and make them very much your own.

Mic positions:

OMNI – stereo capturing of the studio offering air to the sound

RIBBON – More up close and personal, a beautiful warm, direct sound

FX:

Reverb 1

Reverb 2

Delay 1

Delay 2

Tape

Stereo

Simply click which effect you would like to use and the controls will appear. The stacking of reverb and delay allows easy creation of ethereal and modified soundscapes. Behind the scenes the FX chain is as follows:

Tape – Reverb 1 – Delay 1 – Delay 2 – Reverb 2 – Stereo – Limiter

Controlling levels:

Stacking reverbs and delays can quickly add up and increase the volume significantly, so be sure to keep an eye on levels to avoid any distorted sounds coming through. To help control levels when you feel like cranking things up, the ‘limiter’ toggle is available on all screens. The limiter can also be used as a creative tool when an over-driven crushed sound is desired. Simple turn the limiter on and crank the ‘verb and delay mixes up, and also try cranking the warmth and gain in the tape FX too. This crushed sound is a flavour favourite here at Waverunner Audio.
