Mah boi Rossy Ross going big again! 1000% loved it and feel so much love and honesty in this performance. Thank you.

This is really beautiful playing, Ross. I also studied trombone with the same teacher as you at NEC. I see the same passion for sound production and phrasing that he tries to teach all of us.

Super great playing and balance-----What sort of plugins are you using to master on Logic?...I like your final sound and blend----well done....

I have to admit I’m pretty much a novice with this stuff. I have a limiter, a compressor, a gate, and reverb running. Aside from that I go through and manually adjust some balances since it’s hard to know how loud things are when you play one part at a time. But I mostly try to keep it as “live” as possible so it doesn’t start to sound too processed. I’ve heard some other recordings of people playing acoustic instruments that almost sounds like midi due to how much stuff they’ve done to it. So I’m trying to avoid that if possible. I have a lot to learn still, but this is what I’m doing currently. Thanks for listening!

Absolutely gorgeous playing!! As a college trombonist working towards a performance degree this is how I aspire to sound. Quick question because it’s kind of difficult for me to tell - are you using an alto anywhere in this? The main melody sounds kind of like it could be, but it sounds close enough to tenor to make me question it since I haven’t heard enough alto.

[@RossHolcombe]

There’s no alto trombone in this arrangement, or any other of my arrangements I’ve recorded yet, except for my most recent arrangement of Messiaen, in which I play alto trombone on the top 2 parts. But this Lauridsen is all tenor. Thanks for listening!
