Hip hop has its origins in sampling, and sample-based genres are all about breaking the rules and pushing the boundaries of creativity, with unique sound sourcing and constant re-imagination of their core elements. What kind of plugins can I use to make hip hop?Īll virtual instruments, synths, drum machines, and effects can help to produce hip hop. Once you study the genre and familiarize yourself with some of the recurring themes in sound choice and mixing that exist in the genre, you’ll find that some of the plugins on this list could be just what you need to produce better hip hop beats.

Many different plugin software choices exist that help the modern producer achieve this, and we’ll go through the best ones on this list.Īnother approach in producing hip-hop music in 2024 would be to manually create every sonic layer yourself, something modern music producers have brought into the hip-hop culture. Sampling can take many different forms it can mean the isolation of a 4-bar melodic loop from an old soul song, the use of breakbeats, or even the choice of “flipping” a single saxophone note from an old jazz song and sprinkling it over a new beat. W ith different techniques such as chopping, looping, and beat juggling, the producer can create new musical phrases from old ones, so a sampler is a must-have. The genre finds its routes in sample manipulation. Sometimes there are bow-change sounds after attacks as well from different bowings being stitched together.9 Last Words How do you make hip-hop beats on the computer?Ī few tools have always been essential in making hip hop, like samplers, drum machines, and synthesizers, and all of them are still prevalent. Sometimes you’ll hear a bow scrape after the intervals (from the short legato). This is not a particularly “clean” library.The same-note bow-change repetitions are somewhat subtle at times (sounding more like “movement” than distinct bow-changes), particularly on the higher strings and decca mic.However, it will work with the sustains themselves. On the balance (B) page, compressing and expanding the CC/Vel Dyn Range doesn’t work very effectively on the legatos, because of the way they’re mapped.There is some mysterious disk spiking happening on occasion, but it doesn’t seem to lead to drop-outs.The harp was not de-noised and by some standards could be considered fairly noisy.This simply comes with the territory of pulling samples from connected performances on the same pitch in an ambient room. There is some level of ambience-bleed / “bump” on the hard attacks if they’re played in standalone isolation or you’re using mostly decca.However there is also an option to have all the notes ring out in the GUI.

NOTE ON THE HARP: this patch works best if you have a sustain pedal, considering the delay. All the elements of the library (legatos, sustains, attacks, same-note bow-change repetitions, etc) are on the same delay. The library is heavily optimized for this delay amount. NOTE ON DELAY: this library has a moderately delayed response when playing (140 ms based on the close mics) to further the musicality of the legatos and releases.

** the same hall as Oceania, Oceania II, Angry Brass Pro, the Perfperc series, and others.

Built for Kontakt 5.8.1 and above – full, retail version of Kontakt required.

Recorded in a hall** with close and decca mics.

Release samples that respond fluently to note-length variation.

Multiple attack types (hard and soft), triggered by velocity.

“Active-bow” sustains (non-static longs that move and evolve while simultaneously maintaining the dynamic/timbre).

Same-note bow-change repetition samples (triggered by repeating a note with the sustain pedal down)*.

Slurred legato con moto (legato with movement in the bowing and vibrato).

#KONTAKT STRING LIBRARIES FULL#

Full Strings Sustains (created from the separate sections).

A behind-the-scenes article on Vista is available here. Lastly there’s a harp, with notes recorded in repetition so that it can do repeated notes fluently. Also included is an overlay patch featuring 3 violins playing sustains and legato with heavy vibrato at FFF, useful for layering on the main 5 violins patch for more legato gel and detail. There are some bonuses, one of which is a basic full strings patch (created from the individual sections), useful for sketching and pads. Vista features 5 violins, 4 violas, 3 cellos, and 3 basses. Just like Con Moto, the sustains, legato, and other assets were recorded “in motion.” The sustains specifically use an “active-bow” approach (employed on Con Moto and others) which offers continuously re-expressed vibrato & emotion, via performance & editing processes.

Vista is a legato strings library featuring a larger-than-life, romantic chamber sound, four dynamics (from a true PP all the way up to an intense FFF), slurred legato, same-note bow-change repetition samples, multiple attack types, and more.
