AC3Productions Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hello! I'm new to the forum, and I'm here now because I need help. Beginning June last year, I've been making music (video game remixes, but I bet you figured). I'm having a blast, and I've greatly improved since I started! But I've encountered a problem: I, for the life of me, cannot find brass sounds (in neither a symphonic or more jazz-oriented style) that sound at least okay, and do not cost money. In order to get better help, I'll explain my situation further. I'm 16 years old, and I'm in high school and college at the same time. Because of this, I don't have very much free time for music itself, let alone a job. I've gone to what I would consider great lengths to expand my collection of live instrument sounds--I've searched far and wide for soundfonts and VSTs, and I have the free Native Instruments products (I'm using FL Studio 12 in case the DAW matters). While I've managed to come across some nice strings, woodwinds, and percussion, brass (which happens to be my favorite section) has been seemingly impossible to find on a budget like mine. I've found that some of the reasons there aren't many good Brass VSTs are along the lines of the instrtuments being difficult to record in such a fashion and the nature of the sound is hard to synthsize. But there has to be something I can do. That's why I'm here: what are some of the best brass libraries that can be used for free or very close to it? Something that can hold me off until I can afford something better? Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DusK Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Finding paid brass VSTs that sound good is hard enough, so I'm definitely curious if someone can find even decent free brass VSTs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridiculously Garrett Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 In my opinion, brass and strings really don't sound all that great unless they're live. Plugins just can't get the quality and tone out of it exactly, I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
