I can't seem to find the right topic for this (soundfonts)


Recommended Posts

It all depends on what the soundfont is:

--> Extra eqing on the font could help.

--> Adding reverb can give it realistic room (as long as you don't over do it)

--> Adding chorus on strings can make them sound fuller

--> Adding distortion to a guitar might help with the heavy metal sound

You don't have to just use FX either. Varying the velocities in the notes would help make it a piano more realistic, pitch bending a slight vibrato on a guitar wouldn't hurt, off timing notes by 1/6 of a second can also help.

I believe zircon made a tut at one point on how to make a piano sound real. Esentially it's the same with most any other insturment.

FX is often needed regardless of the synth or sample - it depends on what sound you are going for. Why do people thnk soundfonts are special? They are just a sample format; that is all they are.

To get an idea of when to use FX, read Zircon's guide on the matter, its in the stickies. That should at least point you in the right direction.
