The only separate track that we processed of this #brass section was the #trumpets. The trombones, #horns and synth brass are just as they came and as we will see will only be minimally processed in the group later. Might seem odd to some but sometimes this is all it takes for programmed horns to sound really good and natural. We used Sonivox plugins to play the tracks.

Even with all the controls at 0 the Pultec EQ will add small boosts (and a little volume too) that add clarity. The effect is even more noticeable when LOW FREQUENCY is located at 20Hz.

The Fairchild is famous for being colorful and influence the spectrum even when it's not compressing the signal, in this case the default preset worked perfectly on our channel.

After the compressor we inserted Kramer Tape in the preset "Brass Section" and guess what? This preset worked perfectly with our brass section so we didn't change anything!
