Orchestral Sessions
In addition to contemporary band recordings, Jordan River Audio specialises in recording orchestral ensembles for composers. These sessions are curated to make recordings feasible for artists, often consisting of small ensembles and soloists. They sound great on their own, but if you're looking for a bigger sound, these instruments can easily be layered into a MIDI mockup, enhancing the realism without losing the punch of a larger section.
