Muppet Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Sounds daft but anyone know of an effect I could use to replicate the whistle in 'Moves Like Jagger'? I want to load it in to a Loop pedal to play back at the appropriate times. I know the correct answer is not to do the fecking thing at any cost but it's a wedding request and you have to keep punters happy.........

fretmeister Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I bet you'll find one in the recently opened BBC sound archive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the BBC will spend thousands on sound comparison services to identify if it is their whistle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) Work out who's the best whistler in the band and give them a mic! Even if it's a bit wonky I would rather hear it attempted at a live gig than someone play back a sample. Or you could give it a bash with a theremin? Or Digitech Jamman with the sample saved on an SD card if you must use a sample! Edited May 17, 2018 by dannybuoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it for other key phrases or intros to songs so I know it works. I just need to get a phrase to sample. We've tried recording a human whistle but it sounds rubbish. I can find helicopters, explosions, lightning, gun shots and aliens but I can't find a whistle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use the alien sound, and say you're playing that lesser-known variation, Abducts, Probes and Partially Wipes Your Memory Like Jagger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
