Free Vienna Bass Trombones Reviews
Little tip for marching arrangers: Pair the Euphonium VST with this, remove the accents, and you have a powerful tenor voice. However, the accents are extremely disappointing.
The power of this muse-sound is absolutely stunning. It is loud and powerful just as it needs to be. My only two complains are the lack of a legato option or glissandos. Also, although not as common on Bass Trombones, a mute or two would be nice. These points should not undersell this sound though; very full and supported.
Overall, it's a really good instrument, but they really need to fix the accents when playing mezzo-piano. Also, the accents with staccato are a bit too aggressive. I mean, WHY are they louder than the accents themselves? Same with staccatos being louder than the normal note. Can't really complain since this is an ensemble, and I'm sure the solo bass trombone will fix my worries - once I get it. Nevertheless, I would STRONGLY recommend it. Matter of fact, I even use this one as a replacement for the MuseScore Trombones a4 for playing at forte.
The thunderous power of a large bass trombone ensemble has been perfectly captured in the sound, and it adjusts very well for all dynamics. But it's still very choppy and legato is nonexistent, so it's really best for big brass hits and effects. Would still recommend, especially since it's surprisingly free.
Works very well for all of the booming brass parts I need it for. I don't have any opinion on how it works for solo passages because I don't write any lol, sot for bass trombone... I say as a bass trombonist
I might be able to use it with some serious post processing to mellow it out. That said, as a FREE set of samples, it might be worth tweaking / using as a layer in an attempt to create a more realistic sound.
The basic sound is of good quality, but the package is missing fundamental features, and there are significant problems with articulations. It's remarkable they (usually) charge money for it. Pros: - big, rich sound, with decent dynamic range. - straight mute tone supported. Cons: - glissando not supported. On a trombone? What were they thinking? - no cup mute or harmon mute tones. - staccato articulations are far too loud. - marcato accents sound the same as standard accents (same length, no more bite). - the default playback style is very sloppy, with both non-articulated and consecutive tenuto notes are often very heavily slurred, unless the "non-legato" widget is applied.
Very high quality for a free offering - decent all-around trombone library, but the middle and low registers really pop here.
The Vienna Bass Trombones deliver a powerful, crisp tone with an expansive dynamic range, remarkable articulation integration, and a well-balanced sound. Compared to the free Muse Bass Trombones, the Vienna Bass Trombones are more powerful and riveting, with more brassy treble frequencies when playing Fortissimo.
This is awesome. Even though it's free, I promise that when I get paid, I will buy other Vienna Sounds. The sound is great, powerful, aggressive, and resonant.
Also i think the bass trombone (imo) is really harsh sound (compared to real life bass trombones so i will give this a 9.9/10 and i will give it a 10/10 f it was fixed
This instrument will come quite in handy for some of my musical works! :-)
Excelente calidad en las dinámicas.
The bass trombones themselves sound great, it's bombastic and very powerful. When there were concerns about glitches, you took care of them right away (same thing with brass). Vienna is going to be my new top library series. Just one thing, it would be awesome if you added a Vienna Choir! Voxos is like fifteen years old and it has glitches and Chorus does not sound good at all, it would be a great opportunity for you.
As the review states, big and bold! No issues and no complaints, great for action scenes. Definitely adding this to my MuseScore template ^^
