Details

The instrument includes five articulations, allowing for a range of expressive performances. It offers a variety of dynamic swells, from soft to loud, with options for muted and airy tones. The recordings were made in Studio A at British Grove Studios, utilising a Neve 88R console and a selection of high-quality microphones to provide five distinct perspectives: close mono, close stereo, mid, far, and a mixed option. This setup ensures that the nuances of each performance are captured in detail.

With 172 original NKIs and snapshots, the library provides a wealth of options for composers looking to integrate brass swells into their projects. The thoughtful design allows for easy manipulation of dynamics and articulations, making it a versatile tool for scoring both dramatic and uplifting moments in film and media.
