Solo Violin, Solo Female and Solo Male Performances Demo
Laurence Stevenson played a song by Phil Cunningham (still alive) 'The Cottage Hospital'. He wrote it for the surgeons at said hospital who saved the use of his hand after a severe car accident. The reverberation impulse used was from the Pure Space Film RI CD - impulse 2750. The wet signal -4 db relative to the dry signal. Solo Violin Demo
Mary Knickle is singing in Latin - not sure of the name of the work. RI is 3313 a Sacred Space impulse the wet signal is -4 db lower than the dry signal. Solo Female
Michael Miland is singing a verse from 'The Grey Funnel Line ' by Cyril Tawney, a British trad. folkie RI used is 1803 a Classical impulse the wet signal is -3 db lower than the dry signal. Solo Male

Reverb Impulse Examples with "low ambient" sample libraries
One of the advantages of recording with minimal levels of ambience is that the user can add their own reverberation that suits each individual musical application. Several sampler developers have produced sampling CD with minimal amount of hall ambience in their recordings. These libraries are idealy suited to the Pure Space Reverb Impulses.
Solo Orchestral Instruments with Ambience
I would like to thank Bruce Mitchell for the following demos. The reverb impules were from the Pure Space Series and were rendered with Sound Forge's Acoustic Mirror.
Clarinet Passage - clbm1543.mp3 the wet level was -7db below the dry level with 170 milli seconds delay of the wet signal.
Pluck Cello Passage - cpbm1543.mp3 the wet level was -4db below the dry level with 75 milli seconds delay of the wet signal.
French Horn Passage - fhbm1850.mp3 the wet level was -5db below the dry level with 100 milli seconds delay of the wet signal.
Flute Passage - flbm1543.mp3 the wet level was -7db below the dry level with 120 milli seconds delay of the wet signal.
Harp Passage - hpbm1834.mp3 the wet level was -4db below the dry level with 50 milli seconds delay of the wet signal.
Tuba Passage - tbbm1543.mp3 the wet level was -4db below the dry level with 50 milli seconds delay of the wet signal.
Trumpet Ensemble Passage - trbm1543.mp3 the wet level was -2db below the dry level with 50 milli seconds delay of the wet signal.

Piano Demos
The chord is a C aug (C E A#) over several octaves. The original piano notes are on for about 1/2 the length between each note. The first three demos were generated from Bardstown Audio "Bosendorfer Imperial Grand Model 290" (24 bit Kontakt).
A small classical hall sound
The same piano example with a medium size "Sacred Space"
The same piano example inside the Great Pyramid (Kufu)
Here I played some notes in the upper register of the piano: no ambience and with film ambience.

Brass and French Horn Demos
These demos were generated from Dan Dean Productions Inc. using two libraries: The Solo Brass (Bass Trombone) and the Close Perspective French Horn Ensembles (Brass Ensembles).
The first two demos are one of the lower dynamic layers of the 8 layer bass trombone (Solo Brass Library).

The second two examples are one of the lower dynamic layers of the 8 layer Close Perspective Ensemble French Horn (Brass Ensemble Library)
