Blakus actually suggested I do a2 and I went with that for Pacific Brass, but I wanted to make it as capable of sounding like a bigger group as possible from a performance perspective (mainly in the louder dynamics), while still being technically a2. I lucked out with some great players which made all the difference - I was impressed with how they handled both the low and high registers, compared to some other horns I've worked with in the past. They were also pretty tight as a group. The primary regret I have in terms of the sessions is that they weren't a little farther away from the main/far mics. Best - JB

Thank you ABE2000, there's no legato for Pacific Brass itself, but that's certainly something I'm considering for an expansion.

@@performancesamples I understand, but keep it up at Pacific Orchestra for everyone. ^^

I'll be sure to show them in the walkthrough (adding that to my notes). Best - JB

Hi Avamomoh! No legato in this one - all patches are 80ms. Best - JB

Thanks Tiago, unfortunately I forgot to normalize the audio w/ this video and will be sure to not miss that next time. - JB

Totally know what you mean, esp. on paper. The horns were the best I've worked with. Cannot wait for the opportunity to work with them again and try new things I've learned since then. The trumpets are probably another highlight and I got an extra dynamic on these above f but below fff which helps with some of the more moderately-restrained but still bold playing without venturing into the FFF territory automatically. - JB

My plan is with PSS & FS3's release or on the heels, so ideally late January 2024. It's extremely close to being ready. Best - JB
