Re: [Hornlist] Dark sound
While you are going through the very necessary exercise of recording your sound, spend some time learning to listen to your reflected sound. Because of our inate ability to perceive directional information from sound, the brain is extremely good at hearing very small time lags in the sound it processes. This is easy to learn in a large hall where the time differentials are substantial. If you can find a cordless mic, headphones will let you hear your remote sound and how changes in your playing effect it. There is nothing more important in horn playing than your 'sound'. Without knowing anything about your equipment, I can't recommend anything to try, but taking the time and effort to set up so you can listen to yourself as others hear you is the first step. Do that, then post again, and listers will be able to make all sorts of worthwhile suggestions. -Original Message- From: G [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: The Horn List horn@music.memphis.edu Sent: Thu, 2 Jun 2005 17:30:44 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Dark sound Hi, I think that was the hardest concept for me to learn - what you hear coming out of your horn just below your right ear is not what is heard by the listener in the hall.

Re: [Hornlist] Dark sound
Are you certain you need to darken it? Have you listened to yourself in a recording made in the back of a large hall where you can play and learn what your sound is in the music hall? Horn sound may be bright on stage but quite dark when it has turned around and perceived by the hearers who are some distance from the player. Sound can be darkened some by a slight adjustment of your hand position. Most of it pertains to your embouchure and the way you support the sound with your breath. A sense of slowing the air stream a bit might meet your needs.
