Muse Brass Reviews

Thank you for reverting this update it sounds much better

Thank you guys so much for reverting the patch. I'm glad to see the MuseHub staff are listening to community feedback. However, there is still no euphonium. Cities will burn.

Partner Response: Hi there! Thanks for the positive feedback. We have a separate Euphonium library, which you can find here: https://www.musehub.com/muse-sounds/euphonium

People like to be harsh with the free MuseSounds, but I think it's more of a management/development problem than the sounds themselves. Yeah, they're not mind-blowing sounding addons, but the fact is they're free and obviously better than General Midi sounds. Some free MuseSounds are definitely better than others; some instruments sound good and some are disappointing, but if you're looking for a more 'realistic' sounding playback, free MuseSounds are 'fine'. For the most part they improve, but in some cases you'll be finicking and working around the limitations to get it to sound right.

the horns dynamics are way better and the trumpet is not to loud the staccatos are normal thank you so much musescore

After the last update where the way the new sounds completely broke the balance between the whole orchestra was disappointing, i’m glad you updated back. But there was some things to keep, like a bit of improvement in trombones but sadly the balance ruined it, especially for trumpets who were absurdly loud, but are none to be heard in old sounds. This brings us to a problem, the fact you can’t mix volumes by time: you can do a general mix but if in some moment an instrument need to be louder than mp but keeping the mp sound you have to turn it higher on the mixer, making it louder for the rest of the time. I think you need to add the ability of changing volume of instruments at some exact moments as you are able to do in logic pro

Tysm for reverting the update! I'm sorry for sounding too technical (perhaps harsh?) in my late comment. I tend to not express myself well on text, especially when I'm upset. I love you guys' work and dedication. Lowkey inspires me The current version is awesome for a free plugin. Works as expected!

Updating my review. Thank you for listening to user feedback, and reverting to the previous version of Muse Brass. My orchestral brass sections now sound the way they should.

big thanks to muse group for listening to feedback and reverting all changes that were made in 1.0.2. i hope that these sound library improvements won't rely solely on bringing back the old stuff, but will continue to improve based on feedback and without the various issues that made this library unusable in the previous version. we, the users, will gladly offer ideas for improvements and inform about issues, because we realized that we can rely on the developer.

Thank you for reverting to the previous sounds. I can use staccatos and short notes again!

The last update disbalanced some instruments and swapped some articulation but thanks to a quick-moving team, the last update has been rolled back. Now that these sounds are fixed, they are a great start for beginning composers who can't afford professional sounds. There are a few issues, but nearly all can be fixed in the mixer. Thanks for fixing the update! :)

While the last update had Major Problems it did fix the klicking noise as well as dynamic Problems of the Tuba! It would be too bad to miss out on the work done on the Tuba, because the other Instruments suffered last update

I have really missed these sounds so much, which is something I never thought I would say. I am so glad they are back! Despite some of their quirks with dynamics, they are still so much better than the pervious update. There were so many issues with 1.0.2 that I had to completely halt my progress for two weeks on my piece until there was a fix. The brass was essentially unusable. Thank you for listening!

It's great and it's free. =) Only real problem is a loud clicks at the ends of tuba samples. Not a big problem, because it cuts easily in isotope RX, but anyway

thank you for going back to the update prior to 1.0.2

This isn't the best package you have. But it's okay. Just a little advice, please let us choose between the different mutes for Trumpets and Trombones (harmon, cup, plunger)

Honestly, this is a pretty good set of sounds from Muse, and it is FREE! Doesn't really need any changes (maybe I am just scared they'll ruin it again though). But yeah, if you haven't downloaded this and you write for any brass instruments in MuseScore, just get it, it sounds pretty good.

I honestly don't know why i felt the need to be so angry with the quality mistake of the last update. The musescore team has always taken their time to resolve any issues and offer an amazing sound library for being free. Thank you.

By the way, I just noticed that there is a nice harmon mute trumpet patch in the MuseSounds Brass collection. Has it been there for long? Nice! I'm still not able to activate a trombone slide/portamento sound if one exists. As a customer who uses the free patches in MuseScore, I feel it would be bad form for me to make any demands, but I did, in case it makes a difference, want to register my interest and inquire whether an update to the trombone patch which would include this quintessentially trombone-y effect is planned for the near future. Thanks!!

Even if isn't perfect, it's sounds well.
