Produced for modern, over-sized trailer-scoring projects, Trailer Brass - Instrument Library by Musical Sampling (Download)is a Kontakt-powered virtual instrument that aims to deliver the loudest, biggest-sounding brass library. It provides composers, arrangers, and producers with large ten-horn and ten-trombone ensembles, as well as a Horde section—a three-cimbasso/three-tuba ensemble—that has been aggressively processed for maximum beefiness. Also included is a varied collection of custom sound-design patches sourced from actual brass recordings.

Trailer Brass offers true FFF samples recorded in a large concert hall at 24-bit / 48 kHz using three microphone positions, with the players positioned evenly across the stage for maximum volume. It uses Morph Stacking programming techniques so you can play any note length and still sound natural. The To Silence function enables the Mod wheel to bring the volume of the instrument all the way down to silence.

The library comprises a variety of articulations including staccato, short/long marcato, sustain, and cluster effects. The sound-design patches offer recordings of impacts, pads, BRAAAMs, synth basses, rhythmic drones, and more. For those who like to quantize, Humanization lets you randomize the start-note and end-note positions of any given note that is played. The library also features breakout keyswitch patches, which contain both sustained and staccato presets for the horn and trombone ensembles.

Trailer Brass requires a full version of Kontakt 5.5.1 or later (available separately) and can be used as a plug-in or standalone on Mac and Windows computers.

Q: 10. I'm new to studio lighting, so bear with me. How does the bracket work. Twisting the armature doesn't seem to cause the bracket to articulate in any way?

A: Stuart, Loosening the bracket by turning the arm counterclockwise should allow you to rotate the top of the bracket clockwise from about a 7:30 position around to 5:30. In addition, loosening the top thumbscrew should allow a 360 degree rotation of the spigot. You can also adjust the arm by pulling it away from the bracket and re-positioning it.
