Horn Section HD 2.1

This software offers high-quality recordings of live horn performances by the renowned Jayhorns, the leading horn section in The Netherlands. Designed exclusively for iOS devices such as iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch, it features a tailored interface optimized for all screen sizes and includes comprehensive support for Audiobus and Inter App Audio protocols. The collection provides an extensive library of licks, stabs, and swells crafted to enrich musical compositions with authentic brass sounds, adding depth and realism to your tracks.

Particularly suited for producers and songwriters, the package comprises over 300 meticulously performed segments across seven chapters, available in three different tempos and four essential keys. All licks were performed with attention to musical accuracy, frequently incorporating minor third intervals, and are formatted as Apple Loops. Within GarageBand, these loops automatically adapt to changes in tempo and key, facilitating seamless integration into your projects. When exported to other digital audio workstations (DAWs), users can manipulate the loops through built-in transposing and time-stretching features, enabling diverse creative arrangements.

The performance content is based on commonly requested horn parts as played by the Jayhorns during various tours and studio recordings, ensuring musical authenticity. The library features a variety of styles including funk, disco, pop, soul, jazz, and more, with looping capabilities for easy auditioning directly within the app. All recordings are unaltered high-end audio captures at 44.1 kHz and 16-bit resolution, ensuring professional sound quality. The sample lines are flexible; users can cut, shift, or layer them for complex arrangements or creative effects. Each section includes configurations such as trumpet-trumpet-trombone-saxophone, with variations in Flugelhorn and Baritone Sax within different chapters.

The library's content setup allows quick placement of loops for immediate usefulness while providing the option to customize placements within your DAW environment. The segments are arranged thoughtfully to match typical musical phrasing but can be freely modified according to project needs. Users can also combine multiple licks to build a fuller horn arrangement.

Included are styles spanning various tempos (90, 110, 130 bpm) across keys of A, C, Eb, Gb, with specific sections dedicated to stabs, swells, FX 'n Moods (shakes and expressive effects), and specialized phrases like ‘Down Boy,’ ‘James,’ ‘What Goes Up,’ and ‘Hornlike.’ Notably, the collection contains elements in both major and minor keys to support diverse compositional contexts.

For those seeking an authentic horn section sound with flexibility and ease of use—beyond synthetic or canned solutions—this collection provides a valuable resource. It captures the energy and vibrancy of a real horn ensemble within your digital workspace.
