I'm very excited to have just bought VSL SE! I did a lot of comparison shopping, and two VSL demos that are very persuasive, in my opinion, are the beginning of "Rite of Spring, Part I" (for woodwinds, which I realize can't be achieved with SE alone) and "Fanfare for the Common Man" (for brass).
However, as I was having my mind blown listening to "Rite of Spring", right after the awesome Eb clarinet part a couple of minutes in, the trumpet comes in with a harmon mute! What?! I gotta say, after being initially perplexed, I find it kind of comical. Don't get me wrong, I went with VSL despite this because I think the good things outweigh.
But not having trumpet straight mutes is a pretty big oversight for supposedly industry-leading orchestra samples. (I haven't listened enough to muted trombone excerpts to know if the same issue exists with them.)
I saw that there have been posts about this before -- about a year ago was the last one I think -- so I'm wondering if anyone knows if this has been addressed or if there are plans to address it?
Thanks!!
