A Trumpet Cover I Did. Would love some tips/advice!

fitzy64

Hello everyone,

I have been playing trumpet for seven years now, so keep in mind that I am still an amateur, but I posted a video I did for a school project on YouTube and was wondering if you all could give some tips or advice on how to improve my videos going forward, and to possibly spread the word about this video as well. Here is the link to the video:

Hope you all enjoy and all advice and criticism is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Fitz

For me there was too much reverb or echo in the sound.
It depends though, on the intent of the video - if it's an example of 'playing the instrument', then I'd like a more 'straight / not enhanced' sound. If the video is more about the 'sound and feeling' of the music, then that's a matter of artistic choice.

Needs more attention to attack (articulation) and intonation.

BTW What video studio program do you use? I'm looking for something with an easy learning curve to video my Tai Chi master
