Learn how Studio Horns can contribute in creating a convincing horn section for a Dream Pop sound like St Motel's My Type.
In this video I discuss motifs, voice leading, chord voicings and chromatic movement, choosing the correct instruments when using Logic Pro X's Studio Horns, tips on adding plugins to enhance the sound further and a reverb trick to get the best room sound that will fit perfectly in the mix.
I have used mainly stock Logic Instruments in this tutorial along with Logic's own brilliant plugins, I did sneak a few others in too!
Plugins used: Fabfilter Pro Q3, Valhalla Reverbs, Chromaverb, Izotope Vinyl, Remix FX, Channel EQ, Bit Crusher, Shaperbox and more.
