Audio Imperia – Fluid Woods

Fluid Woods marks the third collaboration between Audio Imperia and Performance Samples , and it follows the goals of Fluid Woods : fast, short sample generation in an easy-to-use interface.

Like Fluid Brass , Fluid Woods combines the sampling concepts of Performance Samples ‘ Fluid Shorts line with Audio Imperia’s sophisticated approach to consistent, high-level product design. This unique combination provides you with the finest library of short-note brass instruments for smooth, fast playing.

The instrument configuration is traditional: solo flute, solo oboe, solo clarinet, solo bassoon, and solo piccolo flute – recorded tutti in the same room as Fluid Brass . The library features up to 8 dynamics and 6 repetition rates, surpassing even Fluid Brass in terms of expression.

Intuitive

No need to worry about controlling the intricate details with keyswitching and envelopes. Fluid Woods handles all of that under the hood, adapting to the speed of your playing, allowing you to create fluent and realistic performances more effortlessly.

Comprehensive

All you need for symphonic orchestral brass writing. Fluid, swift, and evocative repeated patterns, bridging the gap between the digital and the feel of a live session.

Lush Sound

Recorded in the same lush sounding hall as Dolce Romantic Chamber Strings, Fluid Woods, and Performance Samples’ Pacific, Caspian, and Con Moto.

Harmonized Expertise: The Power of Two

With Fluid Woods, the coalescence of Audio Imperia and Performance Samples’ collaborative efforts takes yet another step towards creating better tools for composers and producers worldwide.

Deeply Sampled

Fluid Woods was sampled with incredible detail, featuring up to 8 dynamic layers and up to 10 round robins. All samples are sourced from real repetition performances, for enhancing the cohesive energy of your lines. We’ve also recorded the samples at different speeds (six in total), with the faster speeds automatically triggered based on your playing speed. This extensive sampling accommodates faster phrases – leading to more fluent and realistic results, as you directly trigger samples pulled from faster performances.

Recorded at Jihlava

Building on Jasper Blunk’s experience with the room; the recording space in Jihlava, renowned for its lush sound, suited this project perfectly.
