As with all the brass libraries of our Big Bang Orchestra, the sound of this trumpet ensemble delivers the characteristic timbre you’re used to hearing in countless contemporary film scores. That’s why we recorded Bb trumpets with piston valves rather than instruments with rotary valves that are most common in Austrian orchestras.
Four Bb trumpets, recorded at Synchron Stage Vienna
Multiple microphone positions, additional close mic positions
Full-fledged set of articulations with up to five velocity layers
From dark pianissimos to the brightest fortissimos
Real legatos, glissandos, swells, flutter tonguing, trills, etc.
The sought-after sound of the trumpet ensemble is created through a combination of highly skilled musicians with scores of scoring sessions under their belt, Synchron Stage Vienna’s large hall that emphasizes the characteristics of brass instruments, and expert miking by the facility’s chief recording engineer, Bernd Mazagg.
The most resource-friendly presets: Based on a room mix we created from all available room microphones, you will get an impressive sound that will help you to manifest your orchestral ideas on every device.
