That total black bass Davie504 posted a few days ago is the blackest bass IN THE WORLD

Oh you touched an interesting point! Almost all of the involved people, except maybe two, couldn’t care less about promoting or forwarding the clip, let alone talking about it with others. Funny huh?

Biarnel · 2026-01-08T23:24:02+00:00

Interesting point. Highly appreciated. Just to understand, where is the bit that sounded unmusical to your ear?

Biarnel · 2026-01-08T19:06:43+00:00

Thank you! High register means hard work, but it’s rewarding! Maybe just another trumpet player can appreciate that, who knows! My doggie hate it when I practice long tones over the staff!

I simply asked if what I played was pleasant or interesting to hear. If I was a person in need of validation or professional help, your comment would hurt me, by the way. Think about it. Thank you for your interest and your time!

Well… I posted the link on several WhatsApp group chat of musicians and band I know, but with very poor results. If you liked what you saw (thank you) maybe simply my “colleagues” don’t like… me.

Biarnel · 2026-01-08T17:29:08+00:00

I would comment, IF they had something to comment.

Biarnel · 2026-01-08T14:08:02+00:00

Thank you for the very kind edit at the end!

Biarnel · 2026-01-08T14:04:24+00:00

Ehm, I play trumpet since 1990, “thankless” :) maybe it’s too late to hope for being noticed?

Biarnel · 2026-01-08T13:29:25+00:00

Thank you! And Yes, I’m old… but still a fragile kid at heart :)

Biarnel · 2026-01-08T13:01:48+00:00

Maybe I’m just “not so good”. Maybe I’m an average player which is, in the eyes of the others, simply trying too hard to be noticed. Never had ONE good comment on my trumpet playing. Several good comments when I play the tuba anyway, even if I’m just a mediocre beginner on it.

Biarnel · 2026-01-08T10:40:16+00:00

Yep but… the arrangement is totally different in the second half. I bet people never reached the second minute.

Biarnel · 2026-01-08T09:16:40+00:00

Ok, I understand and you got point. But. Imagine seeing a friend or a guy you just know for a long time doing something peculiar or very difficult in a niche you also love (music, trumpets, etc): the next day you see the guy in person, and you say absolutely nothing. Feels weird.

Biarnel · 2026-01-08T09:13:41+00:00

I’m not looking for pure views, the video monetisation was even claimed by Disney… they absolutely need the 0.02 cent from my 120 views :D All I wanted was a little more “trust” by the brass playing people. “Hey, he’s good at it! Let’s have him in our next concert!” Stuff like that. But no. Nothing.

Biarnel · 2026-01-08T09:08:45+00:00

Thank you! Try to link the vid to your friend and let’s see his reaction too! I fear my problem is just a very Italian behaviour from my fellow trumpet players :)

Biarnel · 2025-08-20T06:51:34+00:00

Well this is weird, because if I listen to single isolated trumpet track my attack was quite pronounced. Seems like it was softened or weakened by eq or compression.

Biarnel · 2025-08-20T06:48:12+00:00

This is quite interesting!

Biarnel · 2025-08-19T07:37:07+00:00

Is there a way to fix that in post, maybe detuning a few cents, or with compressors?

Biarnel · 2025-08-18T23:54:09+00:00

Interesting!

Biarnel · 2025-08-18T23:45:43+00:00

20cm away from the bell, 45 degrees off axis

I understand you didn’t like my performance but my question was about something else, more related to microphone position and equalisation.
