The 8Dio Soulful Trumpet 2 sets a new milestone for flexibility and convenience for producers. For the first time, we’re extending the powerful, individual control we’ve always given you over our Intimate Studio Series instruments to the moment of purchase. No longer do you need to buy an entire ensemble simply because that’s the way it was recorded. Now you can buy the instruments that are right for your production, and come back whenever you’re ready for more!
Soulful Trumpet 2 is part of 8Dio’s pro-grade line of studio orchestral instruments, featuring advanced techniques to achieve a modern, playable, and fully customizable studio sound.
With over 140 hours of session material recorded at Scotland’s Premiere Recording Studio – Gorbals Sound, our Soulful Studio Brass collection utilizes the best in modern recording and isolation technologies. Trumpet 2 offers peak performance capabilities while also blending seamlessly into any ensemble.
For this series we’ve experimented with both the somber, softer side of brass as well as the eccentric and unconventional effects found in many pop, swing, and jazz productions. These are not large hall brass samples, rather they capture the unique properties of tight, dry, and intimate studio techniques which are essential for composing in a contemporary style.
Each of the Soulful Brass instruments features a fully functional mixer, allowing you to fine-tune sound and positioning with the Distance Control which seamlessly blends between an upfront, direct signal and a more spacious and ambient position. Enjoy access to over 45 advanced and unique articulations, and save your favorite configurations as a custom palette of playing styles that defines your sound.
In addition to the wide range of traditional and esoteric articulations, we’ve also included sound-sets utilizing various mute types and inspiring sound effect based techniques, allowing you to add interest and flair to your next composition.
Trumpet 2 is supported by 2 other Soulful Studio Instruments including Trumpet 1 and Trombone. The last library in the series is Bass Trombone (coming March 2021)
