Orchestral Tools collections are regularly updated with improvements and new features.
In this review, we’re having a look at Orchestral Tools’ most ambitious project to date: Junkie XL Brass.Featuring a top-class collaboration and a huge 37-piece orchestral brass section recorded in one of Europe’s finest scoring stages, Junkie XL Brass seeks to set a new standard in orchestral sampling. Orchestral Tools Berlin Brass €958 €799 pros. A superb-sounding orchestral brass library of the first order. Completely compatible with the Berlin Woodwinds, Strings and Percussion libraries. The articulation menu is admirably consistent from instrument to instrument. Cons. Expensive, given the lack of specialist instruments. Junkie XL Brass offers a full orchestral brass set-up in a single package, recorded with a highly consistent set of articulations for all instruments and sections. Classic brass instruments - including trumpets, french horns, trombones, cimbassi and a tuba - were sampled in several different section sizes to provide maximum depth and versatility, with a dynamic range from whisper-quiet. Recorded at Teldex. As with previous Orchestral Tools collections, JXL Brass was recorded at the Teldex Scoring Stage in Berlin, a distinctively balanced 450 m2 hall with sublime acoustics and the finest microphones from the last five decades where Tom Holkenborg recorded the movie score to Point Break which was released in 2015.
