Available separately
This collection expands the already wide-ranging variety of our studio brass offerings significantly. Dive into the thrilling world of distinctive instruments with special tonal colors such as the mysterious shimmer of muted trumpets and the heroic presence of a Wagner tuba. From muted solo instruments to Fanfare Trumpets (6 players) and the massive Epic Horns (8 players), this bundle of separately available instruments and ensembles delivers everything for creating intimate jazz passages and scoring dramatic battle scenes. With real-time control over performance accuracy, ambience, and virtuosic articulations, you can shape each sound to seamlessly fit any mix.
17 Unique brass instruments and ensembles
Distinctive sounds, meticulously recorded at the relatively dry Silent Stage
Optional Vienna MIR Pro 3D-derived convolution reverb
Instantly usable Mixer Presets for effortless production work
This might seem like a contradiction, but with this collection, it’s anything but: Studio Special Brass gives you both screen-filling epicness and subdued, introspective muted tones in a production-ready package. Brimming with fascinating contrasts, it delivers everything from “big and bold” brass statements to the subtle elegance of muted colors. All solo instruments and ensembles were recorded at the Silent Stage, our purpose-built studio with a tightly controlled ambience. The result are dry, pure and pristine samples that let every detail of these instruments shine in all their brassy glory. You can place and reverberate these instruments with the included convolution reverb, derived from Vienna MIR Pro 3D, as well as the beautiful algorithmic reverb of the Synchron Player’s full-blown mixer.
