You're right but it is possible to train the trumpet "voice" to be the same as what is recorded (or what the audience hears) - that is the definition of a good player. Was the first recording the way you expected to hear yourself on a trumpet? or did it sound like a different "voice"?
I was thinking more along the lines of players who might hear the playback (I'm defining as the trumpet "voice") but the audience is hearing something entirely different. It would be along the same shock as hearing your own recorded voice for the first several times, it just doesn't sound right. (so which is the true voice in this situation the one you hear in your head or the one you hear in the recording) With that said, do we adjust the sound that we are hearing from the trumpet (playback) or adjust to the sound that others hear (projection). Isn't the sound that the audience hears really the true sound regardless of what we hear as players.... you'de hope they would be the same but what we hear may not always be what others hear.
