Building upon the extensive Studio Dimension Brass I library, this collection of muted and unique instruments expands your tonal palette, allowing you to explore new mythical and magical aspects in the realm of brass. This library offers special ensembles for composers and music producers with instruments like muted trumpets and horns as well as the majestic Wagner tubas that are sure to elevate your brass soundscapes to new heights. Innovative features such as Humanize presets for life-like performances and the powerful possibilities of the “reverb” and “dry” options of the Vienna Synchron Player make this collection even more versatile. Whether you’re looking to add a splash of exceptional brassy colors to your modern projects or scoring the operatic demise of ancient gods, this collection is your companion in exploring a whole new dimension of brass.
4 Brass ensembles
16 individually microphoned instruments:
4 muted trumpets
4 muted French horns
4 muted trombones
4 Wagner tubas
Authentic ensemble sound with direct access to each voice
Humanize Presets for real-time control of performance accuracy
Production-ready sound, straight out of the box
Four trumpets, four French horns, and four trombones were played exclusively with “straight mutes” and recorded as ensembles. However, our engineers used dedicated microphones for each instrument of the ensemble, allowing you to access each voice individually in order to change sound characteristics, volume, articulation, and performance accuracy intuitively in real-time within the Synchron Player. Various Humanize Presets let you adjust the performance accuracy of the four ensemble players according to your musical demands. The sonic results are supremely authentic and simply breathtaking!
