Junkie XL Brass by Orchestral Tools
Orchestral Tools has teamed up with A-list Hollywood composer Tom Holkenborg to create an outstanding new brass library – Junkie XL Brass. The library is aimed at professional and non-professional music creator users alike, Junkie XL Brass offers a full orchestral brass set-up in a single package, recorded with a highly consistent set of articulations for all instruments and sections. As with previous Orchestral Tools collections, Junkie XL Brass was recorded at the Teldex Scoring Stage in Berlin, a distinctively balanced 450 m² hall with sublime acoustics and the finest microphones from the last five decades.

Brass Instruments
Classic brass instruments – trumpets, French horns, trombones, embassy, and a tuba – were sampled in many different section sizes to provide maximum depth and versatility, with a dynamic range going from whisper-quiet pianissimo to thunderously loud fortissimo, and including a total of 16 microphone positions.
Microphones
Combined with a full brass patch for sketching ideas, Junkie XL Brass offers a total of 16 microphone positions ranging from unprocessed to production-ready mixes done by renowned movie scoring mixer Alan Meyerson. If your disk space is limited, customize your download by selecting only the mic positions you need – alternatively, you can download them all and see which ones work best with your ideas. The highly innovative mic merging feature allows you to save on resources: simply create your custom mic mix and save it as a single position.
