Winning900 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hi! I've been experimenting with FL Studio for a few months, I've loved music and remixes for years, and I was wondering where I might find some good Church Bell instrument VSTs? Big, booming, dramatic ones, the kind that go "Oh no, the evil villain is here, and he's going to destroy us all!". Preferably, it'd also be able to do "Church of Good Holiness soundtrack" and "Happy Wedding Church Bells", but I'm mainly after the big, clear, booming bells of doom.

timaeus222 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Tubular bells would be pretty close with some layering. You can get free tubular bells here: http://nando.oui.com.br/_static/sf2/5_SoundFonts.zip http://ethanwiner.com/tubular_bells.zip http://soundfonts.darkesword.com/fonts/tubular_bells.sfpack + http://soundfonts.darkesword.com/files/sfpack.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winning900 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Alright. What tutorials do you recommend for that? Also, I'm not sure if I should make a separate thread for this, but... Where is an awesome metal-guitar VST I can get for free? Preferably the kind of intense lead-guitar epic thing, like the guitars in this short song from the awesome Pokemon Album: http://ocremix.dreamhosters.com/files/music/albums/missingno/1-01%20Game%20On%20(~Opening~%20Demo)%20%5BFishy%5D.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same applies to any other sound, like .As for metal guitar, lead guitar especially, it's much more worth your time to just save up money for a sample library like Shreddage II and download the free Kontakt Player 5. Few, if any free guitar VSTs sound remotely like the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furilas Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 On the subject of those tubular bell samples, you can also try slowing down their playback speed. I once used that to make the sound of a stick hitting a rather nice-sounding steel fence post sound very girthy and ominous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorito Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 If you have Kontakt you can also consider Sonokinetic Toll: http://www.sonokinetic.net/products/classical/toll/ Not sure if it has ominous bells, but it has got you covered on the general church bell thingie.

I once used that to make the sound of a stick hitting a rather nice-sounding steel fence post sound very girthy and ominous. Gonna second this. That's exactly what I did for the church bell sound in my mix for Haunted House on the Mario 64 album. Take a wav sample of a orchestral chime (or just export one from a soundfont in your project). Slow down the playback speed and add reverb as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshaggyfreak Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 There are also several recordings of church bells and such at www.freesound.org and they might be worth experimenting with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winning900 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Sweet! By the way, the forum threads appear to be upside down. How do I fix that? Also... the bells are awesome, but what about the guitar? Or should I make a separate thread asking about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDjinn Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 This is admittedly not the best solution, but I use the Church Bells in ERA Medieval Legends for that. I say it's not a great solution because it's spending around $250 for the purpose of obtaining one sample. That being said, the rest of the samples are really cool stuff too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winning900 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Excellent! When I become stupid rich, I'll buy it! So, uh... did anyone figure out what guitar vst the Pokémon song I linked used? I want that guitar vst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want that guitar vst. It's Fishy's remix, so it's a real guitar. He may use a guitar amp sim, but he plays guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
