Jeff Ream Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 trptmagnet - Your input is appreciated. As you can tell, I'm a little concerned about overuse of 'Brass Viagra.' I notice your first years with Skyliners were also my first years with Buccaneers! Those days, particularly with G bugles, and arrangers like Hy Dreitzer, everything was not only natural, but plenty LOUD ! To me, Skyliners created LOUD. Using amplification devices these days, for soloists, is a nice change. But, to electronically create the appearance of enormous power by laying down a heavy sample of near-matching, faux organ chords cheapens the integrity of the craft. Works at a rock concert, of course, but I'm having a hard time grasping this new ability and the potential for abuse it represents. Thanks again. i think Fred some of it may also be venue. in a larger stadium than your average DCA show, I notice it less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
