Capturing We knew that in order to create fresh and exciting sounds with Augmented WOODWINDS, we first had to capture beautiful and authentic samples. Two sessions took place, overseen by seasoned sound designers & engineers on an orchestral scoring stage in Eastern Europe. High-end Millennia microphone preamps were used with a wide range of different microphones. These were mixed together in order to create a powerful and yet natural sound image. Eleven players in total performed in unison with a natural scoring approach. The instruments recorded were two contra-bassoons, one bassoon, two bass clarinets, two clarinets, 1 oboe and three flutes. In addition we recorded the four main solo instruments from bassoon, clarinet, english horn (from the oboe family) and flute. To extend the playable range of each instrument, we also recorded contra-bassoon, bass clarinet, bass flute and piccolo flute. This attention to detail brings a comprehensive and lifelike woodwind ensemble to your DAW, with plenty of room for creative input. Woodwind presets Choose from a range of mix-ready woodwind sounds at the touch of a button. For when you need immediate results to complete a project or overcome a creative hurdle, Augmented WOODWINDS’ preset library contains hundreds of expertly-crafted presets spanning beautiful orchestral sounds, dense synths, hybrid textures, and everything in between.

Unity Like a dual split presets with two distinct timbre between low and high range can be play in a same time and morph to a more modulated synthetic one. Artists Corner Leanna Primiani Composer The woodwind sounds are fantastic, and I love the way they can be morphed into interesting and complex sounds while still maintaining the spirit of the woodwind section. To me, it's the best of the Augmented series. Andreas Kleerup Producer My musical landscape escapism has been the sounds of 70’s “dinosaur” progressive rock, mixed with electronic pop songwriting.
