Insanity Samples / The Dixieland Collection

[Piet De Ridder]

"The Dixieland Collection is a Trad Jazz ensemble of instruments designed to tap into the iconic sound of Jazz Giants like Louis Armstrong and his Hot 7 or King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band from the very birth of Jazz itself in the early 1900s - with every articulation performed to encapsulate everything from a strong live-performed ‘Satchmo’ style vibrato across all brass instruments, through to idiomatic and highly nuanced inflections and performance techniques across the entire range.

The most complete and specific collection of Kontakt Based Virtual Instruments to tackle the Dixieland genre, laser-focused for ultra-specific realism in re-creating the iconic sound of the early pioneers of Jazz."

This sounds good to me, and I like making Dixieland /20s tracks though I don’t do it often. I’ve been okay with the samples I have but there are some helpful sounding articulations included in the Insanity collection.. The cornet sounds superior to the rest, to my ears anyway.

I’m thinking of picking it up, writing a track to learn it and putting it in my back pocket.
