Short Sax and Orchestra samples from a 100 year old record - bigcat1969 - 07-18-2019
Horribly mislabeled and completely worthless. I'm looking forward to the virtual playing orchestra version as the only way to rescue them.

Hello?!? What's this virtual playing orchestra rescue of which you speak?
RE: Short Sax and Orchestra samples from a 100 year old record - Mattias Westlund - 07-19-2019
Where's the orchestra? And the sax? xD
Cool stuff. So bigcat, now that you've covered all freeware multisamples you're moving on to public domain recordings from centuries past? Can we look forward to a 16x RR instrument of the NASA beep (i.e. that end transmission signal you hear in space radio chatter). Or maybe an instrument that lets you stitch together your own speeches from various US presidents?

BC, I think that's an accordion playing a song with 'sax' in the title.

There is no sample you can't rescue Paul!
Lol Mattias I love it. On the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing we need an instrument that can play astronaut words back out of order and a good beep.
No idea where the sex or the orchestra are or why my tuner seems to think B was E or was it the other way around.
Yeah Sam I think you might be on to something. That was the oddest sounding 'sax' ever, it was probably Edison's daughter playing her accordion!

Yeah, why does it clearly indicate saxophone with orchestra when there is neither?
I just dropped out of a Library and Info Science masters program. We spent a lot of time with the LoC digital collections. I'll go ask some of my old classmates if they can figure this one out

Thanks Nayrb! Trust me to find the one sample that is mislabeled...

On a vaguely related note we watched Apollo 13 on Netflix last night. My girlfriend hadn't seen it, despite being something of a Tom Hanks fan, and it's always fun introducing people to good movies they've somehow managed to miss. And to be perfectly honest I thought the film was from the early 00's. But it's from 1995! Nineteen-frigging-ninety-five. Made me feel as old as the first moon landing itself.

I really loved this movie when I was a kid. I saw it in theaters and wanted to be an astronaut afterwards (It never occurred to me that they almost died... I was eight, anyway). I remember loving the music, too. I wonder if it's held up over the years; it's been awhile since I've watched or listened. Horner usually can (could, RIP) be counted on to deliver. As I recall it bounced between an emotive and a sort of regal military, vibe.

To be perfectly honest the music didn't strike me as anything really special. I mean there's nothing wrong with it but it's not his most memorable score.
