Geneva Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I am very impressed with the organ like blend of their low brass on this recording. Is this augmented by synthesizer or is it good old fashioned lung power? I certainly hope it is the latter because I think it would be a good case for the superfluousness for this type of use of electronics which is becoming common. I can't imagine any better sound. Why try to fix something which is not broken? Oh, and the trumpet octaves are uncannily in tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyDanza007 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Where did you get that recording? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellodramatic Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Considering synths weren't legal until 2009 I'd say it's good brass playing. I haven't heard it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schickmeister Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I'd go with good brass playing....those BD folk are generally pretty good at that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalletMusic Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 no synths. I think the recording was available for some time on the BD website at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Murray Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Funny and slightly related story: One night while in bed, I had my itunes sat on shuffle under the drum corps genre. I could tell that it was Blue Devils based on the music, but I couldn't figure out why there wasn't any crowd noise when there should have been. After a few seconds of thinking, it finally hit me. I had added a studio recording to my playlist. Sometimes you just feel stupid... This was one of those moments indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
