yah i'm looking for some decent software instruments too, i just hooked my computer up to my keyboard so if anyone could suggest anything it would help. where can i get some natural ass real instruments type shit or some sound fonts?

Well, Steinberg has some cool VST Instruments for CubaseVST. Like "The Grand" One of the best pianos for the PC. Just check Steinbergs product range.

hi,
in my novice production opinion, you should check out sonic syndicate's junglist vst. i think it was designed with a junglist in mind, but beware, cause with a little time you can tweek it how ya want to.
you can plug into fruity loops and logic audio, not sure about cubase or sonar/ect....but it's cool, if you spacy sounds and wierd things going off. check it out, thanx and cheers, jonny :headbang:

the native instruments synths are pretty good I think. they may be not geared specifically for hip hop, but there are allot of great sounds in all of them to use. The B4 has some sick organ sounds, and some of the lower pitched sounds can be used as a bass or coupled with another bass part. The FM7 and Pro-5 have some cool lead stuff, similar to the stuff heard on "Show You" by Jigga. Allot of the free synth VST's are really techno (CM101, Rainbow, Triangle,etc), and kinda hard to get into. Steinbergs vst's are also okay, but mine are a little buggy.

i use virtual guitarist and virtual guitarist electric edition for guitars and they're ok. Have you tried plugsound, too? (i think volume 5 -or 3- is specifically made for HH)

The best software out there is Fruity Loops right now...FL Studio now has the complete setup for all ur muzic needz..

 

[MaximeRobin]

hey I guess your right, I'll trash my cubase sx right now.

 

[Cold Truth]

wha-? fruity loops is better than cubase sx? you sure?

anyhow, sampletank looks great on paper. sonic foundry has some good demos i have heard, and the Halion instruments are good. all i have heard are demos, so i do not know how well they work.

 

[sammy beats]

ive heard reason is pretty good. theres a lot of stuff online where you can download free demos or even the whole program. cakewalk project 5 is another one, i havent tried it out yet
