Description
Overview
The Atelier Series: Barker Clarinet by Musical Sampling is a professional true legato clarinet library featuring the performances of conductor and educator Joshua Barker. Recorded at Orb Studios in Austin, Texas, this instrument was designed to be both agile and emotive, capturing the nuanced character of the clarinet with natural, progressive vibrato to expand its emotional range and warm the overall tone.
As part of the Atelier Series, this library represents a specialized exploration in sample development, offering a focused tool for composers rather than a generic orchestral collection. The library is recorded close to the source to ensure maximum mixing flexibility, allowing users to place the instrument precisely within their sonic landscape using the included adjustable custom hall impulse reverb.
