You will not be disappointed with Samplemodeling... 
 
They rock "hard." 
 
Again, they are not cheap? But their stuff is "the best." I don't work for them? I make no money from them? I am just a very satisfied customer... You can check out their videos on youtube. If you don't have a horn player? You need Samplemodeling... And if you do have a horn player? They'd better be pretty darn good...
 
Nothing against your song or your sound though, it was really good.
 
(I'm just finishing a tune w/two Bari parts, a tenor, an alto and a soprano sax) I used the sax brothers from samplemodeling. It sounds like I have a horn section playing with me :-) Part of it is the articulations? How hard you're biting on the reed? How hard you're blowing? The rate and depth of your vibrato? If you're using a flutter tongue technique? etc...

What about slurs and bends? Do those sound good as well?

Hey Dan
The arrangement/flow of this piece is fantastic.  Great job on the mix separation.  This is a great example of your engineering/producer skills.  The mix space created and getting all those libraries, plus the live performance to sit in that space was perfect IMO. Once again a really GREAT piece of music/mix.  KUDOS!

Thanks Kev! It's getting easier to hear when a mix still needs work and what to actually do about it. Hardest lesson I've learned is that it is okay to revert to a previous version, lol.

Well done. It sounds anthemic. (good thing)
 
Nice samples in use because I thought everything sounded "real" on this computer/speakers.

Dan the Man!! Wow, this is awesome and right up my alley for sure. This is a totally awesome creative piece of work and I like your story concept that goes along with this. Wait it ended and I need to start it again. Great use of instrumentation and a great mix. This is exactly why I like doing this stuff. Glad I took the time to catch up after my vacation, as I would have totally missed this great sounding piece of work. Very, very nicely done. Keep them coming. Love it!!
 
Peace and blessings, John

Wow Dan. Nice work. Really well done.

Thank you John! I'm glad you enjoyed this. Still haven't started on the next one. Tried to this weekend and shut the DAW off after fiddling for two hours and...nothing. Lol. When the muse is ready, I'll be locked to the DAW for weeks, as usual.
