Reaching The Summit - 'Modern Scoring Brass' Demo
See...
Great track by a very talented composer, what's not to like about his writing? Sadly, as a demo, it falls short IMO. My first impression still stands: too polished, thin and uncomfortably metallic. At 00:39 you can clearly hear all these issues, it almost sounds like a synth patch.
Listen to this:
Now that you have a clear picture of how brass should sound (if you are going for a realistic approach that's it) listen to the MSB demos again and tell me something isn't weirdly off about it.
I wonder if that's the reason there are no naked demos yet? In this particular case, if the composer uploaded a naked version or soloed the instruments, it would be much harder to hide any sonic shortcomings.
