Online Brass Sections.......

Anyone know of, or had any experience with online brass -

I'm in the middle of an album & don't really have time to sort the brass out myself.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Cheers

With brass, phrasing and articulations are everything. I'd be hesitant to trust that to anyone without me being there. Even with every note articulated on paper, and a reference midi part, my brass players always seem to find things to "change" to make it better and more like what I hear in my head.

I'm sure you can get good stuff done. If you don't really know what you want, you'll probably be VERY pleased. If you know EXACTLY what you want........there's no substitute for being there. Brass is a very expressive group of instruments and I've yet to find a group of pro players that didn't need some direction on my part when laying it down.

Of course, I guess you can say pretty much the same about pretty much any instrument. If you're cool with on-line guitar parts without your input, you'll probably be please with on-line brass parts!

Thats true - I'm usually a very fussy producer, but I'm up against the clock - I've already done the strings (36 piece ) with a 5 piece brass section, but I want to edit in a little brass solo section which I hadn't planned for......

I've mocked the solo up, so can give em what I want note for note - just wondered if anyone had ever used this sort of service.

I know an excellent brass section here in NYC that could probably knock it out for you in a couple days.

What would you offer $-wise for something like this?
