Ravich Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 For my current project, I've been getting by with EWQL's hollywood brass with Kontakt 5 here and there. I dont think that's going to work for much longer, so I'm starting to look at what my options are. The Kontakt instruments are just a bit thin and synthetic sounding, while Hollywood Brass seems, in spite of my best efforts, situationally serviceable but overall quite.... clumsy. I would appreciate any suggestions for possible directions. Let me know if there's any info that would be helpful. Let's say that for pricing I'm looking to stay under $1000.

Nabeel Ansari Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 http://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/orchestral-cinematic/session-horns-pro/ This is a cheaper option. Though if you're going up to $1000, I believe there are way better options than this. I'll defer to the other forum posters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neifion Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) The Kontakt instruments are just a bit thin and synthetic sounding, while Hollywood Brass seems, in spite of my best efforts, situationally serviceable but overall quite.... clumsy. I presume you're referring to the Kontakt Factory Library that comes with Kontakt? For a big band sound, here are some of my suggestions: Sample Modeling: http://www.samplemodeling.com/en/products.php CineBrass (the PRO version has a lot of nice muted brass, chords, and effects patches): http://cinesamples.com/product/cinebrass-core http://cinesamples.com/product/cinebrass-pro EWQL Goliath for nice jazzy effects (plus a ton of "fill the gaps" instruments): http://www.soundsonline.com/Goliath I used CineBrass in the track below as well as the Pop Brass patches from EWQL Goliath for effects. Skip to 2:22 and 3:16 for the brassy parts: https://soundcloud.com/kekopro/monster-in-the-headlights Edited September 11, 2014 by Neifion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravich Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Any thoughts on wivi band? Low price with lots of variety. I was considering Sample Modeling, but I thought I'd see how far wivi band could take me and then filling in blanks with sample modeling.
