The Sound Board

Audio Imperia and Performance Samples have joined forces to produce Fluid Brass, a library of "cinematic brass shorts".

"With Fluid Brass, the coalescence of Audio Imperia and Performance Samples’ collaborative efforts takes yet another step towards creating better tools for composers and producers worldwide.

Fluid Brass brings together the repetition sampling concepts of the Fluid Shorts line by Performance Samples in a dedicated tool that is built into Audio Imperia's powerful Pyramid engine for fluent and rapid repeated patterns on brass. With 2 players per section (except for 1 Tuba player), the library can be used for both lead lines and chordal work, and its expanded range of 6 dynamics, 6 repetition speeds, and up to 10 round robins (triggered via simply playing faster) closes the technical gaps to create a seamless performance.

All samples within Fluid Brass are sourced from real repetition performances, for enhancing the cohesive energy of your lines. We’ve also recorded the samples at different speeds (six in total), with the faster speeds automatically triggered based on your playing speed, to accommodate faster phrases – leading to more fluent and realistic performances because you are triggering samples that are actually pulled from faster performances."

I like the sound of these - would love to have heard more of softer dynamics.

Did anyone else start singing Chim Chim Cher-ee during Tech Demo 2? (It is a contrafact)

Yepp!

One trick pony for sure but a nice one. Though one has to have corresponding brass libraries available that match the sound and room to connect the repetitions to longer notes and phrases. Otherwise it's like Scrabble without consonants.

What is the corresponding longs library recorded in the same room?

I guess Caspian and the upcoming Pacific Brass

Just checked Jasper Blunk’s FB page:

Fluid brass is two instruments per section. Caspian is 4, I think. Angry brass is solo or 4 players. It seems like there is no match regarding the player size.
