    Marc was fantastic. He got right to work, sent me samples of what he would play, worked great in my track, what more can you ask for.
    His tone on the Trumpet and Flugelhorn was totally Cool
    He's a Pro and it was a pleasure to work with him.

    Marc is absolutely brilliant. He recorded trumpet lines for a few of my classical pieces. The performance was fantastic. Nothing seemed unplayable for Marc (even really fast runs where I was expecting to have to simplify to make them playable). Sound quality was superb. Marc is also very helpful and friendly.

    Excellent collaboration! Marc recorded two trumpet section lines and a solo line. He delivered the stems really quickly. Everything was played very precisely and with elegance. The recording was super clean. No revisions were necessary. I would be glad to work with Marc again.

Interview with Marc Osterer

  1. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  2. A: I play lead trumpet in a studio orchestra, recording underscore music for series, movies, video games, etc. I often tour with electro-swing producer Parov Stelar, and play in local jazz clubs. I also have an ongoing YouTube channel, "Extreme Trumpet" in which I explain interesting facets of trumpet playing and post entertaining or funny trumpet videos.

  3. Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

  4. A: Would you like a raw, flat track, or mixed, with EQ and effects? Should I play identical to the sample, give my own interpretation, or improvise something completely different? Would you like a mute, or any other special type of sound?

  5. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  6. A: I've been playing trumpet since age 5, piano since 8, and many other instruments along the way. I studied jazz at one of the world's top conservatories, and have performed for audiences from living room concerts to Coachella, and everything in between.

  7. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  8. A: Getting an audience interested in the inner workings of music theory, history, and performance.

  9. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  10. A: I've been a fan of ribbon microphones for as long as I've been recording. Paired with a good preamp, the trumpet sound comes out clean and honest. Then it's up to me and the music.

  11. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  12. A: Improvised trumpet solos, horn lines, and replacing virtual instruments on tracks.
