Anyone here use Session Horns Pro? I need some help

[Ravich]

Hi, I recently picked up Session Horns Pro for a project that needed some extra brass, and I'm having a significant amount of trouble figuring out how to... get a decent sound out of it.

The first thing I've noticed is that there doesnt seem to be an option for a single instrument section. Either it is a solo trombone, or it is a trombone, bass trombone, and baritone sax, or any other mix of instruments.

I can have 2 trumpets playing, but for some reason they have really weird panning, causing one of them to be very left, and another one to have this breathy texture only on the right.

I also find that despite having the exact same reverb settings, instruments often sound like they are being played in COMPLETELY different spaces.

Generally it feels like I have almost no control over the sound, the instruments sound thin and anemic, and I'm struggling to even make it sound usable next to kontakt basic's brass.

Am I missing something?

Looks like you can customize the sections by clicking on the instrument picture and changing the instruments.

Correct, but it still limits you to one of each instrument type. ie if there is already a trombone, the other slots will have trombone grayed out and say "already in use"
