Anyone know who does that wild rendition of Virgen De La Macarena on that
Chevy Blazer commercial that's running currently? The one with the Blazer
pulling the boat/trailer down the highway.

I mean, damn...

I don't know but my wife commented last night that she liked it. We
were even wondering if it might not be a *real* trumpet.

Based on my familiarity with current midi capabilities and being a trumpet
player, I find even the best midi falls far short when it comes to solo
brass, especially very involved stuff like this. I'd bet the farm that's a
real player.

This reads pretty funnily, given the guitar sampling effort. g Think
about it.

Glad I could provide you with amusement. That's why I'm here, comic relief.

I would say there are certain similar obstacles presented in sampling guitar
and trumpet, but also differences.

Sampling is certainly problematic, but there exist some good simulations: check
out the Yamaha VL-series synths. Using breath controller information, they do a
very creditable job on wind/brass instruments. The Karplus-Strong plucked
string algorithm does a similarly good job on guitar. These get a lot closer
than sampling to the "feel" of a real instrument.

I'm pretty sure that it's Joe Burgstaller. Badaxx

I listened to a few sample tracks on his website, hard to tell. The VDLM
that's on there is the Mendez version, totally different than the
arrangement in the commercial.

My first impression is that his tone and overall approach is different, but
the recording situations were likely very different and you lose a lot with
streaming audio. I 'spose it's possible it's him.

I just e-mailed him and will advise if I get a response.

By the way, what makes you think it's this guy? A lot of studio cats out
there.
