Hollywood Pop Brass

Dichte, bombastische und dynamische Brass Section

Für dieses Projekt haben die Produzenten Doug Rogers und Nick Phoenix in den berühmten Hollywood-Studios von EastWest eine der besten Horn-Sections der Branche aufgenommen und den mehrfach mit dem Grammy ausgezeichneten Ingenieur Moogie Canazio beauftragt einen Sound zu kreieren, der überdimensional ist. Moogie Canazio hat Musik-Ikonen wie Ray Charles, Sarah Vaughan, Sergio Mendes, Diana Ross, Luis Miguel, Michael Buble, Melody Gardot und viele mehr aufgenommen. Er wurde für über 35 Grammys nominiert und hat 7 Grammys und Latin Grammys gewonnen.

Hollywood Pop Brass verfügt über ein 4-köpfiges Blechbläserensemble für alle Hauptartikulationen, das zwei Trompeten, eine Posaune und ein Saxophon beinhaltet, die je nach Tonumfang zwischen Bariton, Tenor und Altsaxophon wechseln. Des weiteren enthält die Library auch ein 5-köpfiges Ensemble für alle Phrasen und Licks, das zwei Trompeten, eine Posaune und zwei Saxophone beinhaltet, die je nach Instrumentenstimmung zwischen Bariton, Tenor und Altsaxophon wechseln.

Es umfasst unglaublich klingende, mehrsamplige Ensemble-Sektionen, die im berühmten Studio 1 der EastWest Studios aufgenommen wurden sowie Phrasen und Licks in mehreren Tonarten, die im Studio 2 aufgenommen wurden. Diese Phrasen werden Sie davon überzeugen, wie leicht sie sich in Ihren Track einfügen und wie viele Genres von Pop über Rock, Funk, Soul bis hin Latin sie abdecken.

Hollywood Pop Brass was created for one simple reason - there's just nothing else out there on the market that instantaneously gives you that fiery, punchy pop brass sound that made songs like Uptown Funk such mega hits. The great thing about this library is that there's something for everyone - whether you want to build deep and detailed orchestrations with one of the world’s top horn sections, or if you just want to "plug and play" using licks and phrases that will inspire you and bring that "it" factor to your song. It's the ultimate ensemble pop/Latin brass collection that will leave you screaming, hollering, and begging for more.

Hollywood Pop Brass includes the articulations listed below. Most include multiple dynamic layers, up to 8 round robin sample alternatives, and a variety of instrument programming options to accommodate a variety of playing styles.

• Sustain: Contains different types of sustained articulations: fast, medium and long crescendos, sustain accent, crescendo and diminuendo, and "xfde" ver- sions of instruments that use Mod Wheel (CC1) to cross-fade between dynamics. Each contain 2 dynamic layers, and use Expression (CC 11) to control loudness.

• Short: Contains a variety of articulations that have a short duration, including marcato, stabs, staccato, and staccato repetitions. Each include round robin variations, use velocity-sensitivity to control dynamics and Expression (CC 11) to control overall loudness.

• Effects: Contains instruments that feature special articulation techniques like falls and rips in various durations, as well as growls and trills. All but growls contain multiple round robin variations.

• Legato: Contains an instrument that will playback true legato intervals when two notes are played in a connected fashion (legato), for every interval up to and including an octave in either direction. When playing disconnected (non-legato), a sustain layer will playback.

• MOD Combo: Contains instruments that combine multiple articulations and uses the Mod Wheel (CC 1) to select between them. A ‘VS’ (velocity-sensitive) instru- ment named HPB Shorts VS MOD.ewi alternatively uses velocity to select between articulations and Mod Wheel (CC 1) to determine dynamics.

• Phrases: Contains instruments that feature phrases and sub-phrases in various tempos that fit perfectly in the world of pop brass. Each was recorded with multiple transpositions, and are mapped across the virtual keyboard on their respective root note positions for use in a variety of key signatures.

• Licks: Contains instruments that feature short licks (or "motifs") performed at 120 bpm that fall into 1 of 6 chord types. The position of the Mod Wheel de- termines which of the chord types will playback. Each lick has 2 round robin variations and is mapped to the key that corresponds to the respective root note position of each chord type.

• Keyswitch: Keyswitch contains instruments that combine multiple articulations into a single instrument and uses keyswitches to activate the desired articulation.
