For those of you who also utilize Musescore 4.5.1. I bought and tested the Vienna * Brass * plugin, so you don't have to. Check it out before you buy;

I took the liberty of writing a short composition to test the different capabilities of the new Vienna Brass sounds from Musegroup, in collaboration with Vienna Music Library. 

My first impression was that the French Horn sounds, all of them, were FAR too quiet. I was forced to add a compression FX to it, cranked up quite high, with a +3.0 Gain just to hear it through the rest of the ensemble. But I think I got the sound dialed in just right here for the video. Figured I'd do everyone a favor and make a quick demonstration and provide my thoughts on it. 

Overall, I'd give the plugin a 5/10, in it's current state. I know its still new, so updates are likely on their way at some point in the future. Attacks on each instrument, as you'll hear, are a bit odd, and sort of like there's an accent or marcato mark on each note, except not as pronounced? I hope that makes sense.. lol 

I also noticed that when using Accents, they're either flat out ignored at times, or, they're over accentuated, to the point the instrument plays a "blat" rather than an accented note. Or, at lower dynamic volumes, they will be played as if it was notated "fp" just underneath it? Weird.. 

However I must say, it's WAY better than my previous experiences purchasing sound packages from MHub. CineBrass from MSounds, and Berlin Brass from MSounds were ABSOLUTE TRAIN WRECKS when I tried them out, a couple months after they released. Buggy as all hail, would randomly pitch bend notes longer than a dotted half note, or just outright play everything completely out of tune. (I have a demo vid somewhere that even shows that issue, I think... Can't recall what I did with that, but all you needa know is that it was HORENDOUS lol... 

This is a vast improvement that brings me some hope for future additions to the MS Library store. 🙂

Thankyou for this "REAL-WORLD" review, as opposed to these current "Company paid reviews"

example : " Its Amazing...Its Awesome...Its a No-Brainer ". .................Yeah you'd have to have no brain to believe it.

Its only when you Trial these Personally, like you have............That you Discover the Real-World review.

Iv included a mini-Selection of Brass sounds, thats currently used in a Restricted Software,thats in Alpha/Beta testing

But most people know the difference between a Piano and Trumpet.....................its impossible to re-invent the Wheel.
