Killerhorns 2 Audio Sample CD-ROM

The long awaited sequel to Killerhorns 1. Now experience the sound and feel of standing in front of some of the best horn players in the world, playing licks, stabs, chords, falls, harmonies and runs. Killerhorns 2 includes sections of tenor sax, baritone, soprano, flugelhorn, and trumpet in various combinations. Unlike Killerhorns 1, this volume provides you with licks in different keys and tempos for maximum flexibility.

Killerhorns 2 covers everything from full-on Glenn Miller big band styles to tight Earth Wind & Fire block harmonies. The block chord swells and falls give you the realism that synths sorely lack. A set of these in your sampling arsenal is a real must.

Recorded at Liverpool's Parr Street Studios with Neuman U87s and U47s, the overall sound is bright and full-bodied enough to use dry, while flexible enough to allow for loads of additional ambience/reverb if you need it.

The blocks of sound are presented sensibly across the disc with riffs often subdivided by key signatures, making track construction much easier. Tempos are listed alongside a detailed set of production notes for each individual track, including the obligatory descriptions of which combinations of instruments are playing which riff and even where they are standing within the stereo field.
