Gold Standard

Working with Viennese musicians, the Vienna Horn would be the natural choice, but the double French horn is the gold standard in film scoring, so that’s what we’ve recorded for this installment of the Big Bang Orchestra.

Overview

Six French horns, recorded at Synchron Stage Vienna

Multiple microphone positions, additional close-mic positions

Full-fledged set of articulations with up to five velocity layers

From mysterious pianissimos to heroic fortissimos

Real legatos, glissandos, swells, rips, flutter tonguing, trills, etc.

During the last several years of recording big projects for film, games and commercials at Synchron Stage Vienna, our engineers have had extensive experience recording various horn ensemble sizes. Having identified a sweet spot of six double horns, that’s the ensemble size we chose for the recordings of Big Bang Orchestra: Jupiter. Its compelling sound is well rounded from pianissimo to fortissimo, and it’s extremely powerful in the louder ranges.
The large “Stage A” magnificently emphasizes the characteristics of the horns, and their glorious sound is captured with skillful miking by Synchron Stage’s chief recording engineer, Bernd Mazagg.
