Fracture Sounds have released Brass Band Soloists, available at the intro price of £109.00 / $129.00, increasing to £149.00 / $16900 after the promotion. The offer ends November 5th.
The traditional brass band is a cornerstone of the British classical music scene, featuring warm, lyrical instruments rarely found in the brass sections of traditional orchestras. Consequently, they are often underrepresented in sample libraries.
In the North of England, where Fracture Sounds is based, lies the heartland of brass band music, so naturally many of our team members have performed in brass band ensembles. This personal experience and intimacy with the instrument made this library the natural candidate for becoming our first commercial legato library.
Leveraging our network of skilled players, we brought together top talent from the region, including competition winners from renowned bands like the Black Dyke Band and the Grimethorpe Colliery Band (featured in the film Brassed Off).
Each player was recorded individually in the large hall of Nave Studios, but our innovative Instrument Placement options allow for easy spatial adjustments. This feature enables the ensemble to blend seamlessly with other instruments in your existing sample library collection, providing versatility and integration. Covering a wide sonic range, the Soprano Cornet, Cornet, Flugelhorn, Tenor Horn, and Euphonium included in this package offer distinct timbres that are much softer compared to their orchestral counterparts, and paired with our new legato engine, these brass instruments have never sounded more realistic in the digital domain.
