Horn VIs
Are there any free Horn VIs worth checking out that are better than what XPand 2 and Structure Free have to offer? I'm not writing big band or orchestral scores, just some pop/rock that has a few horn parts.
I was recommended the Chris Hein stuff and NI Session Horns. They sound awesome but cost like $800! |

Re: Horn VIs
Do you have Kontakt?
If so, do a search for FREE HORNS KONTAKT and you’ll come across a few libraries. They may be good or crap, but hey, they’re free. Worth a shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Horn VIs
Also Sampletank 3 has some usable horns as well. Not stellar but usable.

I can hear what I want in my head, but I'm not familiar enough with horns to recognize which one I'm hearing. My guess would be trumpet. |

Re: Horn VIs
I have seen people hate, but Session Horns Pro is easy and decent sounding.
They sell second hand very affordably and for simple pop stuff....you can't beat it. I personally don't like the Horn Sections in Kontact's main library. To Orchestral and not enough main stream music sound.

My main issue is that this pop/rock project I'm working on doesn't warrant me spending any cash. Especially if what I'm buying will solely be for the project. My main love is heavy blues, which doesn't really mix well with horns.. atleast from what I've heard or written. I won't bore you with the details, but we wanna do something different, that's out of our comfort zone. I need/want so much equipment right now that spending money on high quality VI horns, just to fill a few bars and transitions, seems like a poor use of my thin wallet. Only 2 or 3 of our 10 songs require horns for the main riff. The catch is that if the horns sound like ****e, the song won't come off as strong, and might even ruin it. |

Re: Horn VIs
Oh, kick ass! That would be amazing. I'm just about finished writing the songs. After that it shouldn't take too long recording them. I'll PM ya when I got something tracked. Thanks.
