CINESAMPLES CineBrass Sonore £150

When it comes to brass sample libraries, the market has been operating via a kind of big-is-beautiful rationale for years now, reflective perhaps of the trends that have permeated cinematic scores over the past 10 years or so. Thunderous and overblown low-pitched drones, commonly known as ‘braaams’, have embedded themselves into many a big-budget film and video-game action sequence. They may be ubiquitous but braaams wouldn’t have caught on if they weren’t effective. There is an increasing sense, however, that the sands are shifting, with many composers and producers once again turning to more considered and reflective sounds, rather than those of the room-quaking variety. It’s this return to the more subtle ends of the spectrum that Cinesamples’ CineBrass Sonore seems set to capitalise on.
