Wanted: critical ears
Posted: Sat Feb 04, 2017 6:13 pm
So I was a bit bored tonight. I decided to record five different trombones and have listeners either try to guess the horns for fun or maybe just choose what sounds best (both slow and soft vs. loud and high).
There are four different files. The files are 1st notes (the first two notes from Heres that rainy day), D Note (a D note from the end of Its Alright with me CAREFUL MAY BE LOUD), fast bone excerpt (Its Alright with me), last is Slow trombone excerpt (Heres that rainy day selection). The five instruments are placed closely together in the excerpts the D note and 1st notes are back-to-back. * each file has the instruments in the same order.
I dont want this to blow up into a non-scientific experiment argument. THIS IS JUST FOR FUN. Each horn was recorded: Studio projects C3 Focusrite USB interface Audacity, zero effect a raw recording. I stood 6 away in a room 30 x 60. Everything was one take only, chipped and out of tune was accepted. I picked up the horn, hoped the tuning slide was close, and blew. I used the same mouthpiece on each horn Doug Elliott 101N/C cup (all small bore horns).
You can probably do a search on this website and see what horns I play but try not to look test your ears. I will let everyone know the horns in a few days. Try not to judge the player but the horn.
Rapidly changing instruments is tough . Maybe discuss the qualities of each, your preference, any outstanding (or not) qualities.
