Description : Continuing our popular libraries of strings, winds and saxophone instruments, Intimate Studio Woodwinds is the latest piece in our series of modern studio ensembles. With over 160 hours of session footage and countless more in post-production, Intimate Studio Woodwinds continues our concept of a fully modular ensemble. The library has five very expressive solo woodwind players, including flute, oboe, cor anglais, clarinet and bass clarinet. Each player has been recorded in complete isolation, so you can seamlessly switch between any instrument and any articulation without compromising the sound or timing of your music.
Ensemble sound is easily customizable with a variety of options in the advanced user interface. Each instrument also allows full control of the stereo field with individual volume, panning, output routing, and new distance control that allows you to freely mix the direct signal with a more spacious and ambient mic position.
Intimate Studio Woodwinds contains a comprehensive collection of 26 articulations covering everything you need to create authentic-sounding woodwind melodies. Each articulation is divided into four main categories, so they are all easily and quickly accessible from the built-in browser. Choose articulations such as staccato, staccatissimo, sustain, trills and legato from the traditional category. Or choose more subtle techniques such as measured tremolo and tempo-synced phrases such as duols and triplets from our performance category. Finally, the Arcs and Effects categories contain dynamically layered arcs of various lengths and a range of effects such as Runs, Scoops, and Flutter Tonguing. The advanced user interface allows you to load and unload the articulations of your choice, so you only need to load the sounds you need for your project.
The legato articulation available to every player is incredibly fluid and can play just about anything you put into it. We wanted to record each player at the same time so that each musician could work with each other and adapt their playing style and coloration to the overall sound of the ensemble. Recording each player in this way allows you to select the instruments you want, and no matter which combination you choose, the ensemble sounds will still mix beautifully.
Intimate Studio Woodwinds lets you download the perfect set of articulations for your project, with dozens of playstyles grouped into four main categories; Traditional, Arcs, Performance and Effects. In the main patch, everything is conveniently placed in one easy-to-use interface, so you can focus on making music even faster. In addition, we’ve included individual patches for each articulation, offering you many ways to accurately load the playing styles you want and allowing you to choose the perfect workflow for your next production.
Whether in the main patch or individual articulation patches, each instrument in the ensemble can be instantly loaded and unloaded, allowing you to select exactly which players you need. Each instrument features volume, pan, mute, solo and our unique mic distance control for complete control over studio sound. We’ve also included individual output routing options for each instrument so you can easily assign each instrument to an independent track in your DAW.
Intimate Studio Woodwinds was created from over 160 hours of flawless studio recordings. Each articulation is recorded and processed with the greatest care, all instruments are recorded simultaneously and in complete isolation. The included advanced recording techniques allow you to mix any combination of instruments while maintaining an authentic, believable and symmetrical ensemble sound.
We have also included the basic controls that affect all the instruments in the ensemble. Key controls include Dynamics (CC1) and Expression (CC11), which can be linked using the provided switch, Speed Control (CC16) and Sample Offset Control to create denser legato passages. We’ve also included a global noise switch that reintroduces analog signal noise that was captured during sessions, perfect for recreating the natural sound of a room and giving the feel of a live recording.
