Classic Brass is our concert hall iteration of a workhorse brass library. Sharing the same playability philosophy as our existing brass releases, Classic Brass elevates every aspect of the sampling process. Recorded in a large acoustic space (Besední dům in Brno, CZ), it pushes the upper dynamic range while taking contextual sampling techniques to their limits within a true concert hall environment. Every articulation – with the exception of latch key staccatos and staccatissimos – was captured inside thoughtfully curated phrases, aiming to preserve the musical energy and subtle chaos a live performance imparts to each note. Eminently playable, rich with personality, spanning a wide dynamic range, and leaving ample room for the sound to breathe – all meticulously programmed to feel natural under the fingers. This is Classic Brass.
