So far it sounds pretty good. The lower dynamics sound excellent. Though the staccatos sound a little strident for my tastes. Hard to judge just like that though. Looking forward to demos of them used in a mix.
Close- mic'd brass sounds usually like a nasal fart
You missed the november month :D
If you buy the standard version, can you upgrade to the Pro later?
Yes. With the strings, you just pay the difference. Definitely the same deal here.
Is 'Variation' Kontakt's Time Machine being applied like the "Stretch" option (which is called TM Patches in other SA libraries such as Symphonic Strings and Chamber Strings etc)?
Are there any brass players left to be sampled? I think we've spent them all this year.
lol...
and there still the AudioBro brass coming out soon
Wow.
You have to admit this is probably the most amazing price Spitfire has ever offered on a brand new library. The pro price gets you a truly impressive amount of instruments and even the 150 price point for one mic is comparable to where Hollywood Brass Gold is after seven years of gradually steeper sales...
Together with the lack of buildup hype, no demos yet, and no announcement of the full post-intro price, anyone would be forgiven for thinking this is all about not losing TOO many sales to Cinematic Studio Brass.
Out of all the deals that have been trying to steal away the $280 I have locked down for CSB this is by far the most tempting one yet. I passed on Afflatus, on Ark1 60% off, on the "Complete your Albions" deal, Infinite Brass and a lot more... this is one that I'll have to think about.
Initial impressions of the sound are good.
There's a wide variety of shorts, swells, extended techniques, and pretty comprehensive sampling of straight mute / stopped. The shorts seem compatible and interchangeable.
The sampling of the lowest dynamics seems so thorough, maybe more than any existing product. LOVELY quiet sounds.
The top dynamics just don't seem to be there. It's better than Berlin, closer to Hollywood and the other flagship brass libraries. But less than what we can hear in the demos for CSB...
HOWEVER.... I can see there is a "cuivre" patch that Paul demoed a little... I know it has a little more oomph in Albion Iii iceni, wonder if its the same here.
Looking forward to a closer listen soon!!

Yeah, that's the comparison I'm interested in too.I'm not sure there's enough here to justify buying it over the Symphonic Brass - I mean almost everything is doubled, it just sounds a bit different (and drier).
Not so soon, I believe it was mentioned Q1 2019...
