DIXIELAND COLLECTION - The Trad Jazz Ensemble

My thoughts on DIXIELAND COLLECTION

Hello! Four stars rather than five - there are some samples that would really help complete this collection, which for me would put it in the "5 Star" category. Not sure if you're open to suggestions regarding future updates to Dixieland Connection, but here are my thoughts.... DRUM SET: Add snare rolls - straight rolls (with no initial hit) sfz snare hit followed by a crescending roll; ditto a crescending/decrescending roll March cadences a la Salvation Army Band, triggered by a single MIDI note TROMBONE: Add a glissando up a fourth interval, i.e. G up to C, B up to E, etc. Add a glissando down a fourth interval, i.e. A down to E, D down to A, etc. Add characteristic glissandi (up-down: C-G-C etc., down-up A-E-A etc.) [ABOVE TRIGGERED BY SINGLE MIDI NOTE] Use key velocity to make the glissandi short or long (as you have in the Upright Bass glissandos) Add velocity sensitivity to the "Falls" articulation to allow for fast or slow falls (again, like you have in the Upright Bass glissandos) ADD euphonium and/or tuba when played in unison with Upright Bass, you have a really fat low end. Many of the shows I've played over the years utilize that arrangement trick - such a thick sound! Lastly, let me commend you on the GUI for this Virtual Instrument library. The purple background is unique, reminiscent of the vibrant colors of New Orleans. Though I am just now slowly exploring, the interface is very user-friendly and intuitive. I will be using this library very soon for a video scoring project. Bravo on your fine work!

Awesome stuff

Havent had much time with it but i Love the sound right off the bat and this will be useful in my current productions for the Circus! The only reason i didnt give it 5 stars is that nothing is perfect!
