I\'ve just been playing around with SAM Trumpets which arrived today. It\'s marvelous! Indeed, it blends well with the other SAM brasses. I especially like the Solo Trumpet. It has so much warmth and bite at the same time.
If I may find any flaws at this time, it would probably just two: the sustains are a bit too short (but of course, there are looped versions, so it\'s not a problem), and ambience tails of some release trigger versions become a bit loud when notes are sustained too long into the natural decay of the sample (which is adjustable, so it\'s not a problem either). Other than these, SAM Trumpets is perfect to my ears!
My sincerest congratulations to Maarten and the rest of the Project SAM team for coming up with such a wonderful library. Once again, they have created one that will set a standard for high-quality and affordable sample libraries.
As for me, I think I will be so busy experimenting way into the weekend!
I\'m sure everyone can assume that the SAM trumpets library is wonderful. I feel the same.
However, I was COMPLETELY blown away with the SAMKarma set. The liner notes call this a \"library within the library\", and this is SO true.
Obviously useless for orchestral realism, these are VERY creative, useful, and surprising sounds that I will be going to again and again. A perfect bonus inside this library. Kudos, guys!
