This Studio Trumpet (C, Muted) from Vienna Symphonic Library is a virtual instrument library that allows you to experience the unique timber of a trumpet in C played con sordino. The muting of the trumpet reveals unique tonal colors for exploring introspective Jazz. All articulations were recorded using a custom-made damper, specifically modified to meet the high sonic standards of recordings at Vienna Symphonic Library's Silent Stage. The samples are recorded dry, which allows you to place them in your virtual stage and anywhere in the stereo field, or use the internal convolution reverb of the Synchron Series to recreate the Vienna Synchron Stage.
