What did that bass flute do to deserve such a punishment?

You're going to need a stronger rope and an air compressor for the 'Ultrabass Flute.'
Not to mention a dog to hear if it's in tune!

Regards,

Alex.

Herb,

Do tell about any power trumpets.

I'll take a guess at one aspect: they're in Bb?

The trumpets are mixed.

Cool!

Are these new instruments going to be released as Horizon instruments, VI's or somewhere in between?

That makes sense. Can't wait to hear them. The library is being rounded out now exactly right with Epic versions of just about everything - very good.

Excuse me while I wipe off the drool from my chin on those trumpets (if you get close to the epic horns sound and playability) - it will be an instance winner!

edit: BTW - how about some pics of that soon to be famous VI Choir?

why is there no picture of the Euphonium? [:'(]

Great stuff... Cant wait for the release of these! And Power trumpets eh? Cool - I was just experiemnting yesterday, and had some problems getting trumpets to sound as I wanted. Too weak. So this will be a welcome addition.

So...















When? [6]

I'm disappointed the Power Trumpets were recorded standing up - How on earth are we supposed to get them to 'Sit' nicely in the mix? [:D]

Also, I've a problem with the guy on the left - I'm concerned about how his lack of height may affect the overall sound. Can anyone clarify this?




No disrepect intended - Looking forward to hearing them. [:D]

Hi DaveTubaKing,
I KNEW that you would ask this [[;)]]
Sorry, somehow I missed out on the Euphonium recording sessions - I promise should there be another opportunity (additional playing techniques?) I'll make some fotos especially for you!
Cheers,
Sabine

OK thanks Sabine I was just getting a bit twitchy that perhaps the Euphonium player was unwell and the recording didn't go ahead.

can you say who the player was and what make of instrument he played?

The Euphonium was played by Johann Schodl who also played the solo trombone:

Here's the instrument:



Best,

Power trumpets !!! omg, i'm dreaming !!!
Can't wait to have some news ? will it be another product ? a gift ? [[;)]]

bass flute BDSM ftw [[:|]]

That Tam-Tam is fricken huge. I'd have to wear earplugs to play that, and I bet you had to turn the gain all the way down to record it [:D]

Now we just need Mahler's Hammer-Box and it will all be complete!
