    Hi all,

    I am continuing my exploration of combining real players with VSL.

    French Horn Sonata #1

    The Piano is the Bösendörfer distant MIC with soft key noises.

    As reverb I used MIR Mozartsaal, two microphones (Conductor and Balcony) and "Delicate shimmer" in Miracle mixed in at -25db.

    One reason why I prefer to use live Players for Solo Parts is, that I just don't have the skill to produce a convincing Solo Part with VSL, although many arrangment in the forum prove that this is perfectly possible with VSL.

    The other reason is I'm just too busy to do it myself. And a bit too lazy as well 😉

    Best regards
    Stefan

    Very cool piece, Stefan. Your hornist did a great job with it, too. I am really interested in your blended live/VSL recordings because I hope to do some work in that arena myself. Do you have the sheet music available for the Sonata? In the time of of COVID, it's always nice to have something new on the music stand when you can't get together with your friends to play a tune.

    Hi tchampe,

    thanks for listening.

    I hired the horn player via fiverr, and he did an amazing job.
    But it is hard to comunicate such a syncopated piece via internet.

    I put the sheet music as a download link here:
