INSPIRED CRAFTSMANSHIP
Working closely with the Native Instruments design team over a 2-year period, we built this masterpiece of sonic engineering from 60 hours of recordings at our favorite San Francisco cathedral. We captured each woodwind section and soloist with 14 premium microphones and pristine preamps, mixed down to 4 gorgeous blends: close, medium, far and stereo master. Symphony Series Woodwind Collection brings you an amazingly detailed and powerfully rich sound, with high dynamic range, clean fidelity and stunningly vivid acoustics.
