Muse Brass

Trombones are not very balanced when it comes to dynamics. For example I put it as mezzo-forte which is supposed to be a medium LOUD, and I still can't hear it that much when all the other instruments are playing.

Great, but there's no euphonium, and the dynamics are not good. Also, there's a weird cutoff sound on some notes on the tuba.

I really like Muse Brass! The sound quality and range of instruments are impressive. However, when it comes to writing for concert band, marching band, and jazz band, this pack feels a bit limited. You already have great jazz saxophones in Muse Woodwinds, so I would love to see jazz trumpets, flugelhorns, trombones, and bass trombones added. For concert band, it would be great to include a euphonium, Bb tuba, and Eb tuba. For marching band, adding a mellophone, baritone horn, and sousaphone would be beneficial. In terms of brass band, it would be fantastic to have cornets, bugles, flugelhorns, alto horns, baritone horns, euphoniums, Eb tubas, and Bb tubas. For orchestral works, it would also be nice to have a piccolo and bass trumpet included. These additions could significantly enhance Muse Brass and make it a more versatile tool for composers and arrangers.

not all balance, and also the sound of the trombones are not balance its like overplayed same as the french horns.

nothing to say here

The sounds are great; however, there's a few things that I find unusual about this sound pack. 1. Too much contrast between dynamics I noticed that whenever I have a crescendo from mezzo-forte to forte, it felt more like a crescendo from piano to fortissimo. It's pretty unrealistic, so I hope this gets changed in the next update. 2. The horns are louder than the trumpets From experience, at the same dynamic level, the trumpets are usually louder than the horns; I don't really know why that's not the case with this sound pack. 3. Too much legato Sometimes a passage just sounds like its played legato, even when I don't intend on putting a slur anywhere on that passage. 4. Euphonium when? We've been waiting for the euphonium to be added to Muse Brass ever since its release in 2022....

The muted brass should include different mutes (Straight, Harmon, etc.) and the section brass sounds have to share the same range as their solo counterparts for ultimate versatility along with new sounds like (Tuba section, Bass Trombone section, Cimbasso Section, etc).

I forgot where I read it, but the publishers do acknowledge that its all played in legato other than when you have staccatos. I don't know why they made this design choice, I can't use this for an even remotely fast fanfare.

Overall this is alright, but it has its quirks. Dynamics are very unstable, weird transpose ranges from solo to assemble, and the horns do not sound realistic. However, you can edit the sounds in the mixer to sort of fix the dynamics issue. It's decent, but decent is not good.

The sound is great but the dynamics are just almost terrible. the contrast is too much whenever you have a crescendo or dynamic change. Hopefully this will be fixed later on :) but otherwise is a great addition but I can't really use it because of the its dynamic changes.
