The best session brass players you'll ever work with

Incorporating the unique sounds of brass instruments can add a dynamic and vibrant layer to your music. Brass players bring a rich and resonant quality to compositions, whether you're aiming for a bold and powerful brass section or subtle horn accents. From jazz and classical to funk, rock, and beyond, brass instruments offer versatility and depth that can enhance a wide range of musical genres. Whether you need soaring trumpet solos, soulful trombone lines, or energetic horn sections, a session brass player can elevate your compositions with their expertise and artistry.

Hiring costs for session brass specialists may vary based on factors such as experience, expertise, and geographic location. In traditional studio settings, rates can range from $100 to $300 per hour or more, with additional fees for studio rental and production services. However, with Musiversal's subscription model, you gain unlimited access to talented brass players at a fixed monthly rate, providing exceptional value and flexibility for your music production needs.

Before the session, you'll have had the opportunity to share your music, reference tracks, and instructions, allowing the session brass player to rehearse and prep for the recording. At the beginning of your remote brass recording session, you’ll join the session musician over livestream and have another opportunity to discuss your musical vision and emphasize any key preferences for the recording. Then once the recording begins, our brass players will typically lay down a full first take, and then ask your feedback. You can then provide any instructions for the second take and ensure you get closer to the sound you're looking for (unless it's already been nailed in Take 1, which is often the case!). Throughout the session, you'll have the opportunity to provide feedback and direction, whether for full takes or punch-ins, ensuring that the final recordings meet your expectations and then some. You can expect to get 3 full takes on a 3-4 minute song in our standard 35-minute livestream session format. Highly efficient, engaging, and transformative for your brass needs!

Following your remote Brass recording session, you'll receive high-quality audio files containing all recorded takes, as well as individual stem files captured from each microphone used in the session. These files, delivered in .wav format, provide you with the flexibility to mix, edit, and customize the brass tracks to suit your specific needs. Additionally, if you require any further assistance with tasks such as comping, tuning, or editing, our team is available to provide professional support and guidance as part of the Musiversal Unlimited subscription.

To ensure a successful remote brass session, it's helpful to prepare your project materials in advance. Start by providing info about your song, including the title, genre, and tempo. If you have a demo or backing track, be sure to share it with the brass player, as it will serve as a reference during the recording process. Additionally, consider providing any written instructions or musical notation that may help convey your creative vision. With clear communication and thorough preparation, you can maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of your remote brass recording session.
