No part of the orchestra has such a varied range of timbres as the woodwinds, and they are all subtle enough to pair very well with the strings (they can also double the brass, but in live performance the brass section often overpowers the woodwinds). They are best suited for ensemble woodwind passages and amplifying key moments in strings and brass.
MULTIPLE AWARD-WINNING ORCHESTRAL FAVORITE COLLECTION
Recorded by 11-time Grammy-nominated classical recording engineer Professor Keith O. Johnson, EASTWEST/QUANTUM LEAP SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA was awarded an unprecedented 3-time Sound On Sound Reader’s Choice Award and became the very first orchestral compilation recorded in a “modern” concert hall, where orchestras mostly perform. Every detail of the recording hall is captured with incredible precision and detail, adding realism and shimmer to every note. You can create a convincing orchestral performance with minimal time and effort, and the natural atmosphere will make you feel like the instruments are playing live.

FULL CONTROL OVER YOUR ORCHESTRA
To create the feel of a live concert hall, each instrument and section was recorded with three microphone positions: side by side, on stage (conductor position) and in the hall. By choosing different microphone positions, you can mix these sounds together to create almost any desired position or depth level. This almost eliminates the need for artificial reverb, drastically reducing the amount of time you spend getting the ambience settings right. Every major customizable feature can be controlled from a single interface, including reverb, mic position, filtering, and section volume. If you’re looking for warmth and the ability to easily manipulate virtually any aspect of an instrument’s performance to your heart’s content, Symphonic Orchestra has all the instruments you need in one place.
Woodwind instruments include:
• 3 flutes – 3 oboes – 3 clarinets – solo flute – solo alto flute
• Piccolo solo – Oboe solo – Cor anglais solo 1 – Cor anglais solo 2
• Clarinet solo – Bass clarinet solo – Bassoon solo – Contrabassoon solo
