We conducted an interview with Dennis Sands, our scoring mixer for this brass project. It was such a privilege and honor to have him be apart of this. He had a hand in most of our favorite scores growing up…

Here’s a great quote from the interview:
“The single most important advice I could give anyone dealing with samples is to get the best sounding library you can. The issue with samples is ‘how is it recorded?’ The good samples are the ones that are recorded well, and offer flexibility.” -Dennis Sands

CineBrass is Cinesamples new orchestral brass library for Kontakt. Recorded in the world famous Sony Pictures Scoring stage in Los Angeles. Recorded and mixed by scoring mixer Dennis Sands (Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty).
