Trombone sections
Hello!
Got a little problem when doing trombone parts that aren't meant to stand out, and are just meant to be part of a brass section in a track, I'm currently working on a project which has about 4 trombone parts in most of the tracks, and when I do each trombone part, playing it back with articulation, and expression all drawn in, it sounds 'robotic' causing it to sound fake.
Which is really annoying because when I play the trombone as a solo part, where its meant to stand out, it sounds great! Just these quiet parts, I'm applying the exact same techniques and it sounds fake - It MUST be something I'm doing wrong.
Also, I'm having a little trouble getting 6 Semitone trombone slides to sound real, but I know it can be done because I've heard people's demos... so would love to know how to get that sounding realistic. I've tried many things, from doing the pitch bend manually to drawing it in, and moving the expression in a suitable manner, but no joy
This has nothing to do with samplemodeling! This is something I'm doing wrong, and would love to be pointed in the right direction by anyone.
Thanks a lot!

After using the trombone for quite a while now, and managing to get good section sounds... I've found out the 'problem' to why I couldn't get a realistic section sound.
This is the issue I'm having
http://www.samplemodeling.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=493
and still having so basically, this was the unpleasant sound that is causing my sections to sound bad, the 'attack' almost cuts in. So as soon as you leave one of the selected trombone/trumpet tracks, and start working on other instruments the problem kicks in, which is what was/is causing my sections to sound bad.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks!
