high-note trumpets

Hey Folks,

I figured out (entirely by accident) that to make my GM high-note trumpet parts in  big band style scores sound better is to hide a staff and use Soprano Sax doubling witht the trumpet any note above the Bb above the staff.  This works for my old and cheap sound card (SB AudioPCI 64D not sound-font compatible as far as I know).  If you're not happy with your brass sounds in the upper register, try this trick and see if it works for you.

PS: Anyone know of any way to get this old 'puter to sound better without much $$$?  Being a Gateway G6-400C, it desperately needs replaced soon so I don't want to invest any more in this old thing!
