What our users say Wowwww. What a powerful plugin. I now have about 30 different options (!) for mutes for each of my brass sections… That’s just incredible! I was expecting a single ‘on/off’ muted sound, but now I have a treasure trove of options for all the sections. ~ Oliver. So far I’ve tried all sorts of brass samples, from the lowest to the highest registers, solo or ensembles, unisono or chords and can’t believe how authentic this plugin sounds (forget about EQs to get even remotely similar results). ~ Karsten K. Sordina is indeed a fantastic plugin. Since I have it I skip the samples of muted instruments and use the plugin instead. Saves RAM and still sounds great. (plus there’s a wealth of models to choose from). ~ Siegfried Friedrich. It’s just what I was looking for! Since many virtual instrument libraries don’t include muted articulations. In my humble opinion, the results are very convincing and it includes presets for a wide variety of brass mutes adapted to each different brass instrument ~ Choprats.
