ONLINE HORN SECTION, INDIVIDUAL HORNS AND HORN CHARTS FOR YOUR MUSIC RECORDING PROJECT

Online Horn Section, individual horns and Horn Charts for your music recording project

Real horns recorded specifically for your music will make a difference between your songs sounding like a cheap MIDI demo or a World-class recording!

HAVE YOU EVER WITNESSED A LIVE HORN SECTION BLASTING AWAY WITH ALL ITS MIGHTY POWER?

 

There are some half-decent sampled horns out there, but real thing remains the real thing. Horns are among the hardest instruments to program in order to get them to sound right and you have to be an expert in articulation, dynamics and expressions if you plan on fooling anybody. If you are not an expert on horns and you don't want your music to sound cheap then get the real horns!

WE CAN RECORD A SINGLE SAX TRACK, FLUTE TRACK OR A FULL HORN SECTION FOR YOU.

 

We offer some incredible session woodwind and brass players for your convenience and benefit. You can choose from a number of configurations and variations: from a solo sax or flute track to a full-on Big Band horn section!

LET our horn EXPERTs TAKE CARE OF YOUR horn TRACKING NEEDS

You are best at what you do:

Playing your instrument, singing or songwriting. We have spent decades living and breathing horns. Take advantage of our talents, experience and skills to your benefit.

Let us enhance your talent:

We will record woodwind or brass parts that will compliment your music and fit in with what is already going in the arrangement. Need a horn arrangement? No problem. We offer a wide range of styles.  Let us know what you have in mind and we'll work on getting your ideas realized.

"I needed a typical Ska-like sax theme/solo track and I got exactly what I wanted and needed... even more, variations on solo's and theme. Very flexible in delivering the tracks and variations. And to think that it was X-mas time:-). Thanks Brian and Goran for the great service and professional way of handling my request. Will be back for more! Thanks."

Arranging and Charts

Before horns can be recorded, an arrangement needs to be written and charts need to be printed out. This is what the horn players will be recording.

If you are ordering horn tracks from us, but are enable to write your own arrangement then this is a solution for you. We'll send you a preview audio file of a mock-up arrangement to listen to and approve before we record the horns.
