Muse Brass

The sounds are great; however, there's a few things that I find unusual about this sound pack. 1. Too much contrast between dynamics I noticed that whenever I have a crescendo from mezzo-forte to forte, it felt more like a crescendo from piano to fortissimo. It's pretty unrealistic, so I hope this gets changed in the next update. 2. The horns are louder than the trumpets From experience, at the same dynamic level, the trumpets are usually louder than the horns; I don't really know why that's not the case with this sound pack. 3. Too much legato Sometimes a passage just sounds like its played legato, even when I don't intend on putting a slur anywhere on that passage. 4. Euphonium when? We've been waiting for the euphonium to be added to Muse Brass ever since its release in 2022....

The muted brass should include different mutes (Straight, Harmon, etc.) and the section brass sounds have to share the same range as their solo counterparts for ultimate versatility along with new sounds like (Tuba section, Bass Trombone section, Cimbasso Section, etc).

I forgot where I read it, but the publishers do acknowledge that its all played in legato other than when you have staccatos. I don't know why they made this design choice, I can't use this for an even remotely fast fanfare.

Overall this is alright, but it has its quirks. Dynamics are very unstable, weird transpose ranges from solo to assemble, and the horns do not sound realistic. However, you can edit the sounds in the mixer to sort of fix the dynamics issue. It's decent, but decent is not good.

The sound is great but the dynamics are just almost terrible. the contrast is too much whenever you have a crescendo or dynamic change. Hopefully this will be fixed later on :) but otherwise is a great addition but I can't really use it because of the its dynamic changes.

nice sound with unbalanced dynamics, hope to fix it in the next update.

The solo and ensemble sounds are excellent on their own. The dynamics levels are not balanced, and very hard to arrange with. Specifically, solo trombone is inaudibly quiet at p or pp, barely there at mp, ok at mf, and blasting at mf or above. The range of instrumentation is also limited, I'd love to see Euphonium, Flugelhorn, and supported for various types of mutes.

I love the general quality of these MuseSounds, but there are still a few issues with playback. Anything quieter than forte is almost inaudible and extremely difficult to balance in the mix with other instruments. And there is only one type of mute available that is even quieter! Also, there is still no Euphonium included yet. I wish these problems had been fixed ages ago. Look forward to improvements in the near future!

Levels are totally out of whack. All brass instruments are really silent (just like real life, yeah?) compared to everything else. Playback is never quite on the beat, always a bit too loose and most of the time, note duration seems to be ignored. Although it is not part of muse Brass, muse Percussion is also unbalanced with some sounds being way louder than others.

In order to have a wide range of brass instruments, it is necessary to have instruments such as french horn, baritone (or euphonium). Please :)
