Vienna Symphonic Library Horizon
Series - Epic Horns 
1
DVDThe Vienna Symphonic
Library proudly presents the largest all-horn ensemble ever created in
the history of sampling, the Epic Horns. The name already implies that
these horns produce broad and big sounds in the truest sense of the
word. But these eight double horns are capable of far more than that.
The range of expression covers a vast array from subtle atmospheres and
solemn, ceremonious, and majestic performances to bombastic dashing
bursts. The Epic Horns are the key ingredient for achieving the sound
of oversized late Romantic orchestras as well as modern Hollywood
orchestras. Repetitions, an often used style in horn ensemble
arrangements, sound amazingly impressive and absolutely realistic when
played with the Performance Tool - not a trace of the "machine-gun"
effect you usually hear with repeated notes! It was a big challenge to
draw the subtle, sophisticated Performance Elements from these
sometimes extremely loud instruments. In all our their of sampling,
recording of the massive Performance Legatos of this large group of
double horns was by far the longest and most arduous experience at the
Silent Stage, Vienna's custom built recording hall. It was an
exceptionally intense challenge for the whole team. Once you listen, we
are sure you'll agree that the effort was worthwhile.
