90’s Retro Trumpets is a faithful emulation of all things trumpet and all things recording from this magical time that crafted many of our childhoods.
90’s Retro Trumpets是一个忠实的模拟所有的东西小号和所有的东西记录从这个神奇的时间,精心制作了我们的童年。

Thoroughly researched, this melody-making library resurrects the actual microphones and the forgotten trumpet techniques that gave these scores such unique color, tutti, and magnificence.
经过彻底的研究,这个旋律制作图书馆复活实际的麦克风和被遗忘的小号技术,给这些乐谱这样独特的颜色,tutti,和辉煌。

Recorded at the MGM Scoring Stage at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles.
这是在洛杉矶索尼电影制片厂的米高梅评分台录制的。

It’s shocking that the 90’s are now considered a long time ago.
令人震惊的是,90年代现在被认为是很久以前的事了。

Many titans of the session playing world of this period have retired.
在这个时期的世界里,很多巨人已经退役了。

As they are replaced by their younger colleagues, certain principles of pedagogy and musicality have been retired as well.
随着他们被年轻的同事们所取代,一些教育学和音乐性的原则也被取消了。

In the control room, while many of the central philosophies have remained the same, modern recording seems to have evolved to use cleaner, higher bandwith and less colored gear.
在控制室里,虽然许多核心理念保持不变,但现代录音似乎已经进化到使用更干净、更高的带宽和更少的颜色设备。

It’s now a slightly different sound, which some favor, some disdain, and most simply don’t notice.
现在这是一种稍微不同的声音,有些人喜欢,有些人鄙视,大多数人根本就没注意到。

Last year, while recording something unrelated, the original pencil marked Jurassic Park session recall sheets popped up out of the filing cabinet for some nerdy ogling.
去年,在记录一些无关的事情时,用铅笔标记的《侏罗纪公园》召回单突然从文件柜里冒出来,引起了一些书呆子的眼色。

Right there on this aging paper was the actual recipe used to record the orchestra for these landmark sessions.
就在这张老化的纸上有实际的配方用来为这些里程碑式的会议记录管弦乐队。

The vision was clear – replicate this sound.
画面很清晰,复制这个声音。

We went to great lengths to do this while always referencing the recall sheet and using the memories of some of the Sony Scoring crew who were actually there.
我们尽了很大的努力去做这件事,同时总是引用召回表,并使用一些索尼计分人员的记忆,他们实际上在那里。

Here are the steps we took.
以下是我们采取的步骤。

– We rented the three exact modified Neumann M50 microphones used as the Decca Tree on the original sessions.
-我们租了三个精确的改良过的诺伊曼M50麦克风,在最初的会话中用作台卡树。

They feature a unique hi-end crispness and transparency that is instantly recognizable.
它们具有独特的高端脆度和透明性,可以立即识别。

These microphones have mostly been retired since the early 2000’s.
这些麦克风从2000年早期就已经退役了。

We matched every other microphone on the recall sheet and set them up in 90’s fashion.
我们匹配了召回单上的所有麦克风并把它们设置成90年代的风格。

– In the control room we patched in the exact preamp settings on the exact same preamps that still are mounted on the studio wall to this day.
在控制室里,我们把前置放大器的设置加到了工作室墙上的前置放大器上。

Most of these are now retired and replaced by cleaner and less colored signal paths by companies that weren’t created yet at the time.
这些信号现在大部分都已经退役了,取而代之的是那些当时还没有成立的公司更干净、颜色更少的信号路径。

– The favored Lexicon 480 hardware reverb unit was taken out of retirement and the exact reverb patch was dialed up.
最受欢迎的Lexicon 480硬件混响单元退出了退役,并拨出了准确的混响补丁。

This was “THE” patch of the 90’s for most of these recordings – it is so 90’s sounding and is also instantly recognizable.
这是90年代的“补丁”大部分的这些录音-它是如此的90年代的声音,也立即识别。

– One of the sonically most interesting parts of the recipe is the use of the Avalon 2055 – a delicate Class A discrete Stereo Hardware EQ that colors the high end in the most unique and hi-fi way imaginable.
-音质上最有趣的部分之一是阿瓦隆2055的使用,这是一款精致的a级离散立体声硬件EQ,以最独特和高保真的方式为高端设备着色。

Also retired in favor of other mastering EQs, this box is a gem.
也退休了,有利于其他精通eq,这个盒子是一个宝石。

When used correctly, it gives the most glossy sheen imaginable on the overtones, and when used incorrectly gives the harshest of harshnesses.
当正确使用时,它会在泛音上产生你所能想象到的最光滑的光泽,而当使用不当时,会产生最粗糙的粗糙感。

A MUSICAL JOURNEY BACK IN TIME
一次回到过去的音乐之旅

Over time, many subtle things have changed for trumpets.
随着时间的推移,小号的许多微妙之处发生了变化。

The combined result of these changes yielded a more powerful, weightier, and forward-sounding modern section.
这些变化的综合结果产生了一个更强大、更有分量、更超前的现代剖面。

The 90’s sound was less brassy, more streamlined, cantabile, and quieter in general.
90年代的声音少了黄铜,更流线型,如歌,总体上更安静。

Different tonguing and blending philosophies were favored.
不同的语言和混合哲学受到青睐。

Both sections play with great agility or force, they just sounded different.
两个部分都有很大的灵活性和力量,只是听起来不一样。

Restoring some of these 90’s techniques was the critical second part of the recipe.
修复这些90年代的技术是关键的第二部分。

– 1+1+2 = 4.
– 1+1+2 = 4。

In the 90’s, the venerable trumpet veterans of the day played on horns they individually favored instead of a horn dictated by the chart or principal.
在90年代,受人尊敬的小号老兵用他们个人喜欢的号角演奏,而不是用图表或原则所指示的号角。

An A-list 4-trumpet ensemble of the early 90’s was often made of one Eb Horn (played by the principal), one C horn (played by the second chair), and two Bb horns (played by third and fourth chairs).
90年代早期的一个一流的4号合奏通常由一个Eb号(由校长演奏),一个C号(由第二张椅子演奏)和两个Bb号(由第三和第四张椅子演奏)组成。

The differing sizes of these horns projects an imperfect yet thick series of overtones into the room – incredibly tutti sounding, like the blending of a violin section.
这些喇叭大小不一,投射出一系列虽不完美却很厚实的弦外之音——令人难以置信的tutti声音,就像小提琴部分的混合。

Having the principal on a smaller horn also lends a tireless and effortless quality to the high octave.
把主喇叭放在一个小喇叭上也会给高八度带来不知疲倦和毫不费力的音质。

Some weight on the lower notes is lost on a smaller horn, but this is where the third and fourth chairs contribute on their larger Bb horns.
在较低的音符上的一些重量在较小的喇叭上丢失了,但这是第三和第四把椅子贡献于他们的较大的Bb喇叭。

Modern sections often tend to favor four Bb or four C trumpets.
现代部分通常倾向于四个Bb号或四个C号。

– principal players of the age, especially in the brass section, were the alphas.
当时主要的演奏者,尤其是铜管乐部的,都是阿尔法。

The idea of a democratic section where each player contributes an equal percentage of the sound wasn’t a concept yet.
每个玩家贡献相同比例声音的民主部分还不是一个概念。

The principal was the loudest on a unison, the principal was loudest on a divisi chord, the principal hair-pinned louder, the principal was atop always.
校长在齐声合唱中声音最大,在除音和弦中声音最大,头发别着的校长声音更大,校长总是高高在上。

The other players knew and respected this, and instead contributed a tone full of supporting qualities to blend with the principal.
其他的球员知道这一点,也尊重这一点,他们反而用一种充满支持特质的语气来配合校长。

The combination of three supporting trumpets and one piercing trumpet is a mainstay of this era.
三个支撑号和一个穿孔号的组合是这个时代的主旋律。

It has rarely been heard since.
从那以后就很少听到这种声音了。

For this library we recorded the dynamics with this ratio in mind.
对于这个库,我们记录了这个比率的动态。

– Vibrato: When playing tutti, Trumpet Ensembles do not use vibrato.
-颤音:在演奏tutti时,小号合奏不使用颤音。

Four trumpets vibrating at different speeds tend to sound more like a mariachi band and less like a classical trumpet section.
四个喇叭以不同的速度振动,听起来更像墨西哥流浪乐队,而不像古典的小号部分。

When vibrato is heard within a section it is the principal carefully using his/her judgement when to vibrate.
当在一个小节内听到颤音时,主讲人仔细地使用他/她的判断来判断什么时候该颤音。

This is often at the apex of a phrase, a particular important note, or toward the end of a long hold.
这通常是在一个乐句的顶端,一个特别重要的音符,或在一个长握音的末尾。

During this time, trumpets 2-4º will not vibrate at all.
在此期间,喇叭2-4º根本不会震动。

The vibrato we captured in this library was the principal player vibrating at the highest dynamic layer only.
我们在这个库中捕捉到的颤音只是在最高动态层中振动的主要玩家。

Use it as described above for realistic playing.
使用它如上所述的现实游戏。

However, be sure to bypass (using the bypass vibrato performance switch) on quick crescendo rips, since that would not be a proper use of it.
然而,一定要绕过(使用旁路振动性能开关)在快速渐强音撕裂,因为这将不是一个正确的使用它。

– A quieter, nobler tone.
-更安静,更高贵的语调。

The overall volume of the brass section in soundtrack recording has increased over the years.
在配乐录音中,铜管部分的整体音量近年来有所增加。

This is partly due to upgraded mouthpieces, instruments, pedagogy, and partly due to the presence of highly brassy composer mockups.
这部分是由于升级的吹口、乐器、教学方法,部分是由于高度铜管作曲家模型的存在。

Upon hearing these hyped mockups, session players have emulated this sound in an effort to satisfy the composers writing them.
在听到这些夸张的模型后,玩家便开始模仿这种声音以满足作曲家的要求。

While sometimes appropriate, this style of playing is now found in soundtracks of all styles, including ones where it is less appropriate.
虽然有时是合适的,但这种风格现在可以在所有风格的音轨中找到,包括不太合适的音轨。

In the 90’s, the median forte was a quieter and richer tone.
在90年代,中位强音是一种更安静、更丰富的音调。

This is especially noticeable in the upcoming 90’s Retro French Horn library, but quite noticeable in this Trumpet library.
这在即将到来的90年代法国圆号图书馆中尤其值得注意,但在这个小号图书馆中也相当值得注意。

Experiment with having the modwheel about half way up, which would represent a “comfortable and sustainable” forte for session players.
试着将modwheel提升到一半,这对于玩家来说是一种“舒适且持久”的优势。

Ride the wheel into the higher zones to follow the phrase or for the most exiting moments only.
乘坐车轮进入更高的区域跟随短语或为最激动人心的时刻。
