Liquid Horn Section
Blow my hat off! This Horn Section is, thanks to the Liquid Player and the first class quality of the samples, miles ahead of any mere mortal library. Funk- and soulproducers without their own horns should buy this one immediately.

Sounds:
A soundbank seperate into staccato and legato with the categories „high“, „mid“ and „low intensity“. In there you‘ll find folders like „Coolphunk“, „Harlem“ or „Groovemaster“ and they even keep what they promise. Each phrase is served with the classical orchestra (saxophone, trambone, trumpet, and so on). Besides that the library also includes an extra section with chords, swells and extra notes. The whole material is perfectly recorded and sound like the above named bands (Tower of Power, Earth, Wind & Fire, and others).

Conclusion:
Blow my hat off! This Horn Section is, thanks to the Liquid Player and the first class quality of the samples, miles ahead of any mere mortal library. Funk- and soulproducers without their own horns should buy this one immediately.

In fact, Horn Section is probably the most successful Liquid Instrument yet seen (...) and the quality of the samples themselves is top-notch.

Unless you have the resources to record the real instruments, getting a good brass
sound out of your computer is next to impossible. Or rather, it was, for the Liquid
Instrument Horn Section makes a much better job of doing this than most synths and
sample libraries.
(...)
In fact, Horn Section is probably the most successful Liquid Instrument yet seen – it’s
possible to alter the original sounds quite a bit before they start to sound unnatural,
and the quality of the samples themselves is top-notch.

If you want realistic brass parts that can be tailored to your project with ease, look no
further.

Of course you could also play some chords with an usual sampler but you‘ll never achieve the liquid sound experience given with this plug-in.

Conclusion

Horn Section is a new enrichment for the Liquid Instrument Series. Instead of postulated horns you‘ll find find a wide spectrum of woodwinds and brasses, tailored for the arrangment of complete horn sections. But no alternative to the solo brasses Liquid Trumpet and Saxophone.

As expected also this library convinces with the quality of sound. All licks can be changed in tempo and scale and thanks to the Melodyne-Algorithm the outcome is still on the highest level. The stability of this program is also creditable. We experienced no difficulties on our system (Mac G5 DUAL 1,8 GHz PPC, OSX 10.4.10, Host: Cubase 4.1).

Within the 600 mb library you‘ll find almost everything you need for a complete horn section. Of course you could also play some chords with an usual sampler but you‘ll never achieve the liquid sound experience given with this plug-in.

Da blas mir einer nen Storch - an diese Horn Section kommt dank Liquid Player und erstklassigem Einspielergebnis keine normalsterbliche Sampling-CD heran.

Sounds: Eine Soundbank (ca. 700 MB), unterteilt in Staccato und Legato, mit den Kategorien "High", "Mid" und "Low Intensity". Da finden sich dann so vielversprechende Bezeichnungen wie "Coolphunk", "Harlem" oder "Groovemaster", die überdies noch halten, was sie versprechen. Jede Phrase wird in der klassischen Besetzung serviert (siehe oben), zum Teil unisono, zum Teil als Akkordphrase. Zum Abschluss der geblasenen Herrlichkeit gibt´s dann noch eine Schublade voller Extras mit Glissandi, Chords, Swells und Extra Notes. Das gesamte Material wurde erstklassig und live eingetutet, da klingen dann wirklich die oben angeführten Bands durch.

Fazit: Da blas mir einer nen Storch - an diese Horn Section kommt dank Liquid Player und erstklassigem Einspielergebnis keine normalsterbliche Sampling-CD heran. Funk- und Soulproduzenten ohne eigenes Gebläse schlagen sofort zu.

Um nicht zu sagen, Horn Section ist vermutlich das erfolgreichste Liquid Instrument bisher. Es ist möglich den Sound sehr weit zu verbiegen bevor er anfängt unnatürlich zu klingen und die Qualität der Samples ist erste Klasse.

Außer mit den Möglichkeiten echte Instrumente zu recorden ist es fast unmöglich einen guten Brass Sound aus seinem Computer zu bekommen. Sagen wir eher, das war es zumindest mal. Liquid Horn Section macht einen weit besseren Job als die meisten Synths und Sample Libraries.

Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach realistischen Brass Samples sind die einfach an ihr Projekt angepasst werden können brauchen sie nicht länger zu suchen.
