Intuitive and flexible. Offers an excellent dry sound by default, and you can dial up the wetness. Better than Cinebrass.

This is my favorite brass sample library. I prefer it to Cinebrass because the default is a fairly dry sound. I can dial up the wetness to the extent that I want; however, I'm not trapped with a sound that belongs only in the Gladiator soundtrack. Before buying Bravura, I contacted Cinesamples about this issue and received a snarky response, with a long list of instructions as to how I can make Cinebrass drier - and the guy implying I was dumb for buying Cinebrass if I wanted anything besides an epic sound. He's right that I was dumb for getting Cinebrass. Bravura was exactly what I was looking for. It's intuitive, flexible, and has excellent options adjusting mic positions and combining instruments for a full sound. Big fan here.
