Muse Brass Reviews

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 :)

the mellow but powerful Euphonium sound is not captured through the standard musescore sample. We need Euphoniums in here!

It has great instruments but PLEASE add baritones and euphoniums

Please add Euphonium and Baritone this is really good but it would be much better if it had Euphonium and baritone

These instruments sound absolutely amazing! But I would love to see the Euphonium be added as I am a Euphonium player. My work-around to this was having a normal Euphonium and changing the sound to the Tuba.

As others have stated, this needs euphonium and needs baritones.

Great sounds but cimbasso is hardly used and euphonium is a very prominent brass instrument that just seems to be missing

Needs to have a euphonium, and the dynamics are wacky

Great orchestral instrumentation sounds but needs Euphonium and other brass variations.

The Trumpets almost seem to quiet to be Trumpets. Where is the Euphonium part? Tuba Higher octave works as a good Euph replacement but there needs to be a Euph part

Love these free sounds, but desperately in need of a dynamics fix considering every dynamic needs a manual tweak to bring up to a workable level.

I love the sounds but the dynamics are off where you can't get the right volume without having to tune it manually

Very good sounds, nice timbres and range across the instruments. Don't like the dynamics so much, either too loud in the trombones and horns, or too quiet in the trumpets. Also the lack of Euphonium and Baritone Horn, after all there is Cimbasso. Would like marching var. you could call it "Muse Corp" that would be nice.

Thank you for this free plugin which increase rendering quality of sheets. Human expressions in playing are impressive ! Just too bad, trumpets and trombones are too quiet under forte nuance...

Thank you for muted brass!!!
