Recommended VSLs to emulate the brass-heavy, funk-adjacent sounds from 80s & 90s Japanese Tokusatsu?
Hey all! This may be a bit of an unusual question, but I could use a bit of help with finding some very particular sounds. I'm a mega, ultra beginner (to the point where my Midi controller hasn't even arrived in the mail yet lol), and in order to help cut my teeth using Ableton, I want to try remaking some songs I like.
In particular, I want to try my hand at replicating the very particular sounds found in 80s and 90s Japanese Tokusatsu shows, like Super Sentai and Kamen Rider. From looking at a whole bunch of soundtracks, the entire genre has a very unique vibe to it that I really haven't encountered anywhere else; it has very brass-heavy instrumentation with tons of trumpets, basslines that border on Funk (to my ears, I'm no genre expert lol), but also features the gated reverb percussion that was all the rage in the 80s.
If someone could help me start off on the right foot with this really specific request, that would be super appreciated!
Here's a sampling of tracks to give an idea of the sorts of instruments I'd be looking for, taken primarily from Kamen Rider and the Metal Heroes franchise:
