Full dynamic range
Take your arrangements from whisper-quiet pianissimo to thunderously loud fortissimo. The library includes five recorded dynamic layers for each instrument and section, enabling you to create highly expressive parts with a full gamut of timbral colors. Seamless dynamic crossfading allows you to produce engaging and authentic parts.
Complete brass section
This extensive library offers a complete array of instruments, including trumpets, French horns, trombones, a tuba, and cimbassi. Compose powerful lines with the full brass section or create intricate, multi-layered arrangements using combinations of solo instruments and individual sections in a variety of sizes. All instruments and sections were recorded with a consistent set of articulations for a full range of performance options.
Multiple mic positions
With 16 mixable mic positions for all instruments and sections, this library gives you tremendous flexibility for shaping your sound. All instruments and sections were recorded in situ at Teldex, for a guaranteed balanced sound. You also get production-ready mixes created by Tom and the renowned movie scoring mixer Alan Meyerson.
