Epic brass & muted timbres

This collection significantly expands the extensive range of VSL brass instruments. Here you will find special brass sounds such as the mysterious shimmer of muted trumpets or the heroic presence of a Wagner tuba. From solo instruments played with various mutes to Fanfare Trumpets (6 trumpets) to the monumental Epic Horns (8 horns), this bundle of individually available instruments and ensembles offers everything you need to create intimate jazz passages or add music to dramatic battle scenes. Thanks to real-time control over playing accuracy, spatial sound (with MIR-based convolution reverb) and virtuoso articulations, you can adapt each instrument perfectly to your mix.

Bombastic Restraint

This may sound like a contradiction at first, but in this collection it is by no means that: Full of fascinating contrasts, "Studio Special Brass" offers both screen-filling epicness and restrained, muted tones in a production-ready package. The recordings in the Silent Stage, the studio with controlled acoustics specially designed for dry recordings, guarantee the purest sound quality. The resulting flawless samples let every nuance of these instruments shine in all their brilliant glory. In the extensively equipped mixer of the Synchron Player, you can add the specially developed convolution reverb based on the Vienna MIR Pro 3D technology, or the integrated algorithmic reverb, but of course also place the dry-recorded instruments in any other imaginable acoustic environment.

Vielfalt & Wagner

Instruments such as the flugelhorn, the piccolo trumpet, the cimbasso or the fanfare trumpets form the basis of many world-famous scores. Trombones move confidently between classical and jazz, and the muted versions in this collection open up dark soundscapes. At the other end of the spectrum are the instruments for "Bigger Than Life" arrangements, such as the "Richard Wagner Orchestra Brass": the bass trumpet, the contrabass trombone, the Wagner tuba and the contrabass tuba. The celebrated "Epic Horns", an impressive ensemble of eight double horns, not only fulfill the sound ideals of the late-romantic orchestra, but also master the challenges of modern soundtrack and trailer music productions.
