I was thinking Broadway Lites would be an improvement and possibly replace the whole part with them, but now I have doubts. For solo instruments, it's a matter of personal preference and the kind of music you want to make.īut I doubt many here will argue that either one of these libraries represent the best solo instruments available today.Ĭlick to expand.I got Chris Heins Horns compact and I think I have the same issue as you, especially in a specific cue I feel stuck with because of it not sitting in the mix. If you do know how to write for jazz ensembles, your results will be much more authentic sounding with Swing More! than with Broadway Lites. Summary I'm sure you could make any kind of jazz music with either one of these libraries, if you know what you're doing.Swing More! will give you professional results with a big band ensemble sound even if you don't know anything at all about jazz harmony, inversions, and orchestration. Was once the best of its kind, but it may have been surpassed by many of the libraries that followed it PROS: 3 mics CONS: Clunky UI (on Swing! at least), no unmuted solo trumpetĬontemporary Pop/R&B/Hip Hop/Reggae/Old Broadwayīiggest strength is in its solo instruments with their multitude of articulationsĪimed at mainly at performing musicians, but of course composers too.ĬONS: Combining solo instruments in multis does not give the authentic sound of an ensemble The two include other musical colors like guitars, vocals, pianos, drums, and many things suited to genres like Gypsy Jazz and Western,Īimed mainly at composers, who want to use it for more than one specific style.
