The trumpets are mixed.
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?

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]

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

Geez...you know, being a trumpet player is hard enough...and that guy probably gets crap ALL the time in the section!!! Geez! (just kidding)...looking foward to them...although, I'm not gonna lie...I will probably like my sound better...
well, that is, of course, if I keep practicing...I'm not a typical trumpet player at all...am I? : )

Dave tuba king is a little scary with this euphonium sample thing. What is going to happen when you get them? The birds will sing and the bells will ring I suppose.
Why does the bass flute have that harness setup? Is that normal for bass flute (somehow I can't believe that) or is this for a long session because of sampling, or what? I have never seen or heard a bass flute in "person" though having heard them on recordings (mainly in Mancini or John Barry scores) liked the sound.
One other thing that occurred to me looking at the beautiful Paiste gong - a gong roll. Unless I'm missing something there seems to be no normal soft-mallet tam-tam roll in all the VSL gong recordings.

you said it already yourself: there were many recording-sessions with many hours of playing, which is totally different, what you do usually with a bassflute in concert. the instrument is pretty heavy, imagine to hold a book for seven, eight hours day by day in a position you could see on the fotos, you would crave for a stand like we used.

Bill, i'd be more worried about who'd fix it if it fell down, or got dropped.
A highly trained instrument technician, who'd studyed for years.
Or a plumber!

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

Hahaha!
Excellent Michi. And i can see he's capable of doing the splits as well! (almost.)
And all their instruments are clean....
Sigh, how things have changed from when it was considered de riguer to play an instrument that looked 'dated'.
Well at least that was what the brass section told me.......

Alex.
