jjeffeory Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 What's up with all the miced brass this year? I noticed it last night with both Bluecoats and Regiment in Charleston, WV. It seems that patched/recorded samples are very in this year too. BTW, Bluecoats horn and percussion book is incredible! The guard was fierce as well.

vanhoese Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 They want to seem louder then they are? Shoot they should just use a G horn if they really want to be louder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 well, when the rules get passed, you can't be surprised if it's used. now that pre-recorded is in, unless someone sings, you won't see a human speaking int a mic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepItReal Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 mic'd brass is lame. Boo on you all! They're mic'ing the brass for a reason. I assume its just soloists? OK, heres the skinny. Bflat horns are not meant to be played outdoors. Got it? Good. Now, in all seriousness, though I detest castrating the soloists with mics, its better to have mic'ed brass than brass doubled in the synth. I choose the lesser of two evils, but evil remains.

Dave Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 OK, heres the skinny. Bflat horns are not meant to be played outdoors.Got it? Yeah, that's not true. There's nothing magical about any key that makes it for "indoors" or "outdoors." There are design issues you can change to make a horn better-projecting in certain environments (even just the minor differences between a 37 and a 43 Bach Strad can make a difference) but key is not one of them. And speaking as someone whose horn is miced for gigs, miced brass in drum corps is exceedingly lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
