Excepting the lack of stereo image, comments on the result?
I added Magneto (medium) and used the EQ-30 insert to subtract moderate amounts of certain frequencies. I also added the Stereo Enhancer (Larger Than Live preset, as noted before) and the Reverb SE (Cathedral preset at 5%) to add some body.
Also, this is not only being used for his college applications but also as his audition entry for the 2013 Northeast Regional Tuba and Euphonium Conference.
Listening to it now. GREAT tone, wonderful choice of music, fabulous musicality and if you don’t mind me saying…very nice recording.
I played the Hindermith trombone sonata for my graduation concert so I have a little idea of how much work the young man has done. Very impressive. Would love to know how he gets on.
If I was mixing this, I would add crowd noise, applause, a raven call, distortion on the tuba, chorus on the piano with ping-pong delay and limit to -3.
Funny thing about TJ is: the tuba is, I think, his 4th instrument. He started on guitar, went to french horn, trumpet, and then ended up on tuba. And he’s similarly talented on the other 3.
