Rated 5/5

Great Sound Engine!

This VST sound amazing, with a little processing you can get a realistic Brass assemble sound. I'm been using it in my arrangements with successful results. I'm really pleased with the sound and overall lay out of this instrument. Two thumbs up!
Rated 5/5

The Best Brass Assemble I heard!

This amazing virtual instrument sounds super realistic and punchy. It really sounds as the advertising video says. The quality is amazing and works very well with my DAW (Cubase 11 pro).
Rated 2.5/5

Good for some songs but I'm disappointed

This horn section doesn't sound good on a ballad I'm working on. It's definitely geared more toward funk and R&B. Moreover, I tried mixing the horns to just sax and notes below G are flat compared to the upper keys. Sounds terrible when playing a major triad chord with the lower and upper samples together. Sounded the same with Trombone and Sax. The trumpet is a bit shrill at full volume and the pitch changes a bit on sustained notes.

If you are buying this for the articulations and riffs it's worth it. But those weren't the selling points for me.
Rated 2/5

It's ok, not very good for live use

I bought this to use for live concerts with MainStage. The demos sound really good. However, in reality for live use, the sounds are very weak. I guess the library is on the older side or something. The price was good, but I actually ended up using the Logic Studio Horns which actually sound better and give you more control when playing live. Maybe this is just more useful for using on a track - for non-live purposes.
