I need to get a great trumpet sound, but I've no trumpet, nor a trumpet player to help me achieve it. So I'musing a trumpet patch on my electronic piano that is fairly authentic-sounding. I want to make the trumpet command the mix, sort of the way vocals do in a pop song, but not too distracting from the other instruments.
Any ideas? I've got access to compression, EQ, and some digital reverb. I was planning on recording to two tracks and then fiddling with the pan and fader controls until I found something I liked. Good idea? Bad idea? I've only 3 tracks left on tape and I'd rather not to bounce the other 5 tracks unless it is absolutely necessary.
Thanks!
