big band hire online?

Hi

Wondering does anyone know where one could hire an online Brass band for a tune?
Ive a song but we did it on mute trumpets and it just doesnt work as i would like it...
Anyways I wanna big band sound doesnt have to be lots of people..i would say could get the sound i want with under 6 people if double tracked
anyone know of any places online i could send score to and pay them to play?ive tried studio pros a few times..but i would rate it majorly high
also money is a big issue...so im guessing i will luck out on this one
Thanks

Hi, I`ve produced some "big" band albuns, checkout at
myspace.com/frevodiabo
myspace.com/fsilvacontrabaixo - not all produced by me, just played those basses, and the wind musicians are basically the same
myspace.com/saciestudio
Could do it for US$100 plus US$100 per musician, don't know if its worth for you.
Those are top professional musicians in Brazil.
Some of the tracks (Frevo Diabo, ex.) were tracked by only 3 musicians, one saxs/flute player, trumpet and trombone players, that would cost you US$400.

I played the bass on myspace/fsilvacontrabaixo, and the other musicians are my friends/partners. myspace.com/frevodiabo I've played (bass) and produced. myspace/saciestudio is my studio, I've played on some tracks, produced all.

Dont know if it got clear
fsilvacontrabaixo is me as a bass player, some tracks from my studio others not
saciestudio is my studio and me as a technician/producer/arranger, played on some tracks
frevodiabo is a band in which I play and recorded on my studio (all tracks)

I`ve got bachelor degree in arranging in Uni-Rio, the university founded by Villa-Lobos (brazilian composer)

Ok, if you want it real live, US$100 per musician + studio/producer US$100

Low budget I'd suggest the US$400 for 3 musicians playing together and doubling.

Could get it recorded each at a time, or "live" doubling like this:

1st Sax + Trombone + 1st Trumpet

2nd Sax + 2nd Trumpet (and maybe a trombone double)

Remaining Sax [and maybe more doubles for trumpets/trombone]

Doubling each take as much as you want in a reasonable fashion.

The order of the saxes/trumpets would be as the player prefers, normally from lower to higher pitch. The sax players I'd call play Tenor, Alto, Soprano, Flute, some do the Baritone too.

Sorry for any crappy english.

If you meant 6 players and doubling, that´s possible too.

Did you also thought about to use a great recorded brass sample library??

Not one of the cheap libraries?

I know it is not the same but when you can find a great brass player helping you to program it properly you can get a great sound with it and you have space for further projects.

Sure faster and more real are real brass players.
