Yeah! I just listened to these for the first time and Guy Bacos' writing on this is very,very good indeed. Well done to Guy. Excellent sound and style.

There's something about the sound of the six trumpets - is it my ears or do they not sound quite right. I think they sound good - but maybe if it were possible to have them split into 2x2x2.

Yes Paul you can do that with the combinations now available. I have been experimenting with various numbers. On trumpet alone there are three different legato solos with completely different sample sets that allow a line that comes together without phasing or screwing up numbers. Then you have the 3 ensemble and now the 6 ensemble, so there is a huge number of possible combos and splits.

Thank you Bill. Very useful. I look forward to getting into writing something again soon with thses new sounds.

Actually, today I find myself needing some Brass splits. Guess I'll have to sample them myself. [:(]

Excellent demos. Guy continues to demonstrate a huge range of composing chops.

That's a nice compliment, thanks!

ps I'll have to call one of the future demos "The Sledgehammer" We already have the "Hammerklavier" [:)]


Dave,

Thanks for those links, I'll have a close listen and use it as inspiration.

Hello
First of all: Thanks for the positive feedbacks (demos)
I also perceived, that there is the wish for an Euphonium-Demo.

As you know I always like to play unusual things with the VSL-instruments...

Instruments:
-Euphonium
-Marimba
-Boesendorfer
-D.Bass
-Drums

Have fun with
Buzzing Bumble-Bee


All the best
Beat Kaufmann

Guy,

Fantastic writing on 'Blues and Cadenza'. The strings/cornet balance and harmonies are wonderful.

Best wishes,
Jack

[H] Yo! Beat, you're The Man [[[:D]]] [[[:D]]] [[[:D]]]

Congratulation Beat, excellent jazz noise. The sampled applause is heart-warming, you deserve lots of the real thing for your stalwart work showing off the VSL library. (Anyone out there got any booing I can put in my demos?)

This reminds me, when I did one of my jazz demos, can't remember which, I added applause and shouts after the solos but I came close, just for the fun of it, to putting some booing as well, just like if some great jazz connaisseur or jerks were in the crowd...

Es ist zum Mäusemelken! (German Idiom)
My Sharp Electronic Dictionary tells me:
>It is enough to drive you up the wall!<

The crowd asks for Euphonium > The crowd gets Euphonium

"Nice jazz noise! nice claps"

The crowd asks for more claps and boos > the crowd gets claps and boos

"Nice hand cream, nice tomatos!"

The crowd asks for more cream and tomatos

"Nice store"

The crowd asks...

...A right mess we're in now! [[;)]]

[:D] I feel your pain. I thought your Euphonium demo was delightful. The piece made me happy.

Best,
Jay

No problem, Jay, but thanks for the consolation!
One thing is very clear: I don't put tomatos online (for download) [:D]

Perhaps after a mediocre solo....

Beat, that jazzy piece sounds great.

Just to be on the safe side I'll mention that my "haha!" link is not related to Beat's
jazz solos. [:D] just in case.....

BeBop Euphonium. Who'd a thunk it!!! Very nice.

>BeBop Euphonium

Good band name. When is someone going to release a jazz bassoon album?
