Fable Sounds

collapse expand iconDescription

Big bands have a sound all their own, but now you can have it too. The Broadway Big Band sound collection from Fable Sounds gives you the kind of lush orchestration and hard-driving swing that characterized American music of the 1930s, 40s and 50s, and does so with every detail paid to the articulations that made that music so irresistible. It is a sound that launched the careers of hundreds of musicians and sold millions of songs and albums. This massive library (100 GB) of sounds and articulations will lend an unprecedented authenticity to your productions.

Perhaps you've tried the trumpets and saxophones in your orchestral virtual instrument for your large group ideas and have found them inadequate. That's not surprising. Big bands have a wholly different energy and approach, and as such, the samples aren't right, nor are the available articulations. The developers at Fable Sound are trained musicians as well as skilled engineers, and both the sounds and available articulations are everything you are looking for in big band timbres.

Using the finest microphones in the world, these samples were recorded by professional musicians playing fine instruments in a neutral studio environment. The stylistic variations are vast, permitting an arranger to articulate any mood he or she likes.
