Need bagpipes.... never thought I'd say that

[teleblaster]

Got an email from a publisher, he has a director that likes a piece of mine, and has requested that I add bagpipes and other Scottish elements to it. Any recommendations on bagpipe samples. I see that EWQL's Goliath has 'pipes and other highlander instruments in it, anyone know if they're any good?
Thanks in advance

Hello

I don't own any of their libraries, but I have heard good thing about Boulder sounds. They have a bagpipe library for $40. Might be worth checking out

Hope that helps,

Thanks Casey, the samples for that plug sound really good. I don't own the full version of Kontakt though and not sure I want to make that plunge at this time. I wound up buying this loop library http://www.zero-g.co.uk/store/celtic-wa ... s-p270.php Hopefully it will get this job done, if not that plugin, or perhaps EWQL's Goliath will be the next thing I try. Goliath, along with lots of other stuff has some celtic samples.

This is a really challenging task. The director chose a solo acoustic blues guitar piece of mine, and asked if I could add celtic elements to it, including pipes... Just call me 'Blind Willie O'Doole'

Good luck with it. Would love to hear the before and after tracks when you're finished

And here's the track with 3 Scottish/Celtic elements added. I sliced and diced the snares and Overton flute using loops from a Celtic library made by Zero-G. The bagpipes were a relatively cheap plugin from http://soundbytes.de/ I'd have to say this was the the strangest assignment I've had in 5 plus years of doing this work.. Here's the track
