Buzzing in the French Horn and Loud Notes When not Marked

• Feb 9, 2023 - 19:38

I was working on a school project and I noticed that there was a buzzing noise in my playback when I put the dynamics too loud in some instruments, particularly the horn in F and trumpet. I also got very loud notes in the middle of triplets, and some of my bass notes do not always make a sound below C2. Most importantly is the buzzing though, and I'm not sure how to fix it. I'm sure I did not describe it well, so I'll attach a few files that hopefully do a better job explaining than I do.

Here are some things to consider. Turn the master volume back down to "0". You have the horn and trombone full blast. No wonder you get distortion. Pan your instruments left and right like they were on stage. You'll be able to hear things better. The crescendos at the end of bar 8 need a dynamic marking higher than pp, so that we hear the pp in bar 9. Played by itself I can barely hear the trumpet at bar 7 as well as other instruments. Just some thoughts. Nice piece so far.
