Trailer Brass: Woodwinds, Brass
Trailer Strings: Stringed Instruments
Trailer Brass & Trailer Strings
This collection, comprised of a 60-string ensemble and 26-brass ensemble was specifically designed with trailer music composers in mind. Both libraries were produced with the same wide-seating aesthetic in the same large concert hall and both follow the same mantra: HUGE, LOUD, AGGRESSIVE!
Included Libraries
With some of the loudest performances ever captured, Trailer Brass includes three separate sections: 10 horns, 10 trombones and an aggressively-processed, six-piece cimbasso/tuba ensemble. We've also included an arsenal of custom sound design patches that were sourced from the recordings.
Trailer Strings comes in four separate sections: 18 violins, 16 violas, 14 cellos and 12 basses. In addition to the inspired FFF dynamic, we've captured all the articulations down to piano, making this library a surprisingly useful asset for softer musical contexts. We've also included an All Strings patch: a time-saving full strings ensemble as well as an inspiring time-suck.
- Trailer Brass -
While Adventure Brass lends itself to bold lines in traditional settings, Trailer Brass was produced with more modern, over-sized contexts in mind.
Musical Sampling recorded three different groups: a ten-horn ensemble, a ten-trombone ensemble and the Horde; a three-cimbasso/three-tuba ensemble that has been aggressively processed for maximum beefiness.
To get the wide, wall-of-brass sound, the players were sat evenly across the stage of a huge concert hall. Also a lot of effort went into reaching maximum volume, which is no easy task. It got so loud in there that the trombones ended up busting one of the microphones. Congrats were issued.
The library also includes a varied collection of sound design patches that utilize the brass recordings in some great ways. Impacts, pads, BRAAAMs, synth basses, rhythmic drones and the like.
As always, the GUI has limited controls to get the job done in a reasonable amount of time. The Adventure and Majestic patches come to mind, where you can produce believable brass lines using just your keys and the modwheel.
The library also contains five different GUI's designed to immediately inform you of what a particular patch can do in terms of control.

- Trailer Strings -
Trailer Strings shares the same mantra its portly, brassy cousin follows: loud, huge, aggressive.
60-string ensemble: 18 violins, 16 violas, 14 cellos and 12 double basses recorded separately in the same concert hall as Trailer Brass. The library also incorporates a wide/centered seating arrangement to help achieve the same modern, oversized aesthetic everyone is going for.
What you get
A useful array of short and long articulations, but with a size and clarity that's specifically geared towards hugantic (hugh-jan-tik), over-the-top productions
As with the brass, really pushed players to give you everything they had with the triple-forte dynamic
What you may not expect with this release is that the dynamic range is quite wide. In addition to the fortississimo dynamic, it goes all the way down to piano. Feathery spiccatos, pillowy staccatos and smooth marcatos performed a la dolce. The sustains are six dynamics deep - the softest two performed sul tasto (over the fingerboard) to get that whispered, feathery tone.
Also included is the "Adventure" patch programming for all four sections, a cool asset for on-the-fly, pompous string lines. Simply load up the basses/cellos Adventure patches, set the basses an octave down, arm both tracks and get your pomposity on.
The SFX section
Trailer Strings also offers three cluster effects patches in the basses and cellos. "Snap and Grunt" provides an arsenal of atonal pizzicatos, staccato chugs and scrapes
"The Brooding" includes subtle, low-range aleatoric meanderings (good for: "alligator sneaking up on prey"). "Behind the Bridge!" is exactly that, tremelo'd (good for: "alligator eats prey")
