Hey guys, I am trying to to play clocks with the synth noise in the backround but i cant recreate the sound? does anyone know where i can find just the synth/string sound playing in the background or how to make it?

I think the only way is to purchase a multi-tracks on http://www.songgalaxy.com

it's about 10 euros

 

I've already purchased LIT II, and it's great

^^checked out the site and LIT ii preview, it's actually pretty bad. I downloaded a free LIT ii track that sounds much better for FREE.

Where did you download this free LIT II track, is it a multi-track ?

 

Songs from songgalaxy are not so bad, and you can mute the tracks you want.

I play bass, guitar and piano, and it's very good for me.

If you know another way to get a multi-track, or to get just one instrument from a Coldplay song, just tell me.

All i need is the dulcimer, the rest you can just use guitar pro. and i have the dulcimer btw.

back to the original question....

 

If you are looking for a backing track to clocks I would assume you have a keyboard of some sort? Even the cheapest of keyboards these days have some sort of synth/string on them. Its a very common even somewhat "generic" sound which wouldn't be hard to reproduce. Simply adjust your attack time a little higher to get a "swelling" effect.

 

I am only assuming this because if you are looking at playing this live you probably aren't doing so on a piano which means you probably already have access to these sounds on your keyboard, and most would let you layer the sound on top of each other or split it into two different sections.

yea i have a keyboard i can only use with garage band and i still cant find the right noise for it so
