The mod wheel dynamics also go down to zero, which I like very much. If I were to be hyper-picky, the mod wheel crossfade points between dynamic layers sometimes appear to be a little sudden, though that's a necessity with the solo instruments to avoid unwelcome phasing artifacts during volume/timbre transitions. The Sustain and Short articulations offer four dynamic layers the upper fff layer (particularly of the trumpets and trombones) yields a wonderfully searing top end that can't fail to cut through the densest of mixes. In UseĬapturing a sense of the huge dynamic range of real-life brass is a challenge for any virtual instrument, and here CSB acquits itself admirably. CSB strikes a healthy balance between quality of sound, ease of use, playability and a good selection of the most essential articulations.

The Full Ensemble preset differs in having individual mics for each instrument section, allowing their relative levels to be adjusted. The Main mic sounds great on its own, with a well-balanced timbre and lovely ambience that sits well in a mix.
The individual mics offer good depth of perspective, from astringently in-your-face to a wide, warm back-of-the-room feel. The stereo Mix provides a good, all-purpose balance, showing off the rich and sonorous character of the Trackdown Scoring Stage.

The eight solo and section patches are provided with Close, Main and Room mics, plus a stereo Mix of all three mics, which loads by default. Up to a point, you could theoretically copy a CSS Viola part, for example, onto a CSB Horn track and they would behave identically in unison, as long as none of those 'incompatible' articulations are involved.
Some articulations from those string libraries (tremolando, harmonics and pizzicato) have no equivalents in CSB, so instead those slots contain other techniques appropriate to brass, namely Mutes, Flutters and Rips. Wherever appropriate, the articulations' slots and their keyswitches match those of CSS and CSSS. The same easy, no-nonsense GUI used by Cinematic Studio Strings and Cinematic Studio Solo Strings makes its reappearance, with eight keyswitchable articulation slots, some of which contain sub-articulations and options selected by mod wheel or key velocity (see the 'Articulations' box).

Kit Of PartsĬSB offers nine NKI patches, comprising five solo instruments (Trumpet, Horn, Trombone, Bass Trombone and Tuba), three section patches (2 Trumpets, 2 Trombones, 4 Horns) and a Full Ensemble patch - always useful for working up basic parts, pads and big tutti blasts. With its unashamedly Hollywood-style agenda, can CSB hold its own in an already crowded, cinematically flavoured market? Let's find out. In keeping with their existing ensemble strings, solo strings and piano libraries (CSS, CSSS and CSP), Alex Wallbank and his team recorded this collection at the Trackdown Scoring Stage in Sydney. To quote the Star Trek: Enterprise theme song: "It's been a long road, gettin' from there to here." Two years after its intent was announced, Cinematic Studio Brass (CSB) joins the Cinematic Studio Series of instruments.
Is this the only library you need for Hollywood-style orchestral brass? The Cinematic Studio Series interface is elegant in its simplicity, and very easy to learn.
