Overview

The ensemble instruments have been mixed from a raw sample pool of over 88.000 samples – but not using ensemble recordings, but from perfectly tuned and edited performances of solo players.

Unlike when recording a group of players simultaneously, Chris had perfect control over tuning, timing and character of each individual player in the ensemble.

These ensemble instruments are completely free of any players performance errors that plague many ensemble libraries.

The samples have been carefully detuned, time shifted, positioned in the stereo field and mixed down to a 24 bit stereo mix.

This surgically detailed production process has resulted in a warm and rich symphonic woodwind sound.  Two different section sizes have been created: „Small“ and „Large“ ensemble.

Pristine Sound Quality:

 Professionally recorded in a dry environment, with the finest equipment, capturing the full character and nuance of each instrument. Recording in a dry environment offers more versatility, clarity, and control, and gives maximum freedom in post-production. You can experiment with different reverb types from the two build in Convolution Reverbs, to simulate any room or hall you like, without worrying about the inherent sound of the recording space clashing with added effects.
