One thing you (and most people) miss is, no horn section plays EXACTLY together, and EXACTLY on the beat. Fix that and it'll sound 10X better, and more realistic.

Great video, love seeing how other composers do their thing. As a horn player I have a couple of suggestions to make it sound even better. First, don’t make every note the same volume… dynamics change in horn phrases just like they do in human speech. For example, I would decrease the velocity of the last two notes in measure 17, make the first note velocity about 70 and the second note about 100. Of course, adjust to taste as needed, but the volume increase into the downbeat of measure 18 will make it sound more realistic. Second, The articulation in measure 18 sounds a little bit unnatural. The next to last note (G) in that a measure sound be closer in duration to the A that precedes it, or it should be as short as the other short notes in the measure. Right now the duration is a little sloppy from a tight horn section performance perspective. One more thing might be to split this track into three tracks and pan them to give a more natural stereo effect that would then be even better once you apply the widening. Put the highest voice in the middle, and the other two slightly left and right, I’d go with a 9:00 and 3:00 panning. Great stuff, thanks for sharing, I hope my advice is received with the good intentions I have. :)

I would say this video is usefull as a 1st step, for the "mixing" part of it (comp, other fxs and so on), but yes, personnaly I try to blend various libraries and after a 1st sketch with an ensemble I tend to split the instruments, doing divisi and also "humanizing". Regarding the imagers/stereo spreaders we have to be careful with them as many have the tendency to induce some phase issues when they're pushed a little bit too much.

useful tutorial and for something I'm doing a lot with the style of music I make! I still think the velocities all being near max does sound a little too perfect, but the plugin chain was great. I also usually wind up scooping a little out usually between the 3-6k range to mitigate some of the excessive brightness, but I like the flavor of bumping the mids a bit that you used here too.

The biggest tell as a former horn player I hear are the samples sound too perfect. This is an issue with a lot of plug in sounds. No two horns are pitch perfect nor is any one horn pitch perfect all the way through. There also needs to be subtle variations of attack times.

this, and to add as a current trumpet player who makes and produces funk myself, I've found generally when you have everything at max velocity, that really tends to make it sound odd/unrealistic.

Hey man - Nice Video! This is good stuff - I also learned a trick that also helps. Back at 3:26 in the video, it's sitting on the note I'm referring to. Taking out the note before it and extending to where you took it out, then setting the grid to 32 or 64 depending on tempo, you can automate, start your pitch bend point a half or full step below and with a fast slide to 0. gives it a natural bend like say Chicago, Tower of Power. Neat trick - Thought I would share - Love what your doing! - SH

Peak level is not LUFS, that's why it's louder. The overall sound is indeed fuller with less spikes because of compression, so peak levels don't even necessarily measure loudness, it just shows where your audio is peaking on a certain section.

Definitely a much better sound. But i think it'd 'feel' even more realistic if there was some discrepancy/offset (Read: Human timing inconsistencies) between the players of the section Having everything 'Hit' at exactly the same moment not only is not possible in real-life, but I think it sacrifices some of the natural bulk and width by being too homogenised. Just an opinion, of course.

Hey Nate, love the video adn the explanations of everything... My question is how did u get that long fall in there? I cant seem to find that, the falls are very short in Session Horns... did u have to do some manipulation to achieve that or...??? Btw, even tho it seems like everybody in the comments aren't really happy about the "realistic-ness" of the horns, but trust me I get it... U cant have too many tuning & timing discrepancies in the song(s) with everything else being in perfect tuning because sensitive ears like ours, tend to cringe at it, and it takes out of that "enjoying the song vibe" (especially being a gtr player ugghh smh) and I also find that with Session Horns, if the velocity isn't at the max you don't get that initial attack that the horns are known for, and it sounds really dull too... I don't know why that is but I find myself doing the same thing with the velocities.. It is what it is! Good Stuff Bro!!
@EliotJohnson678
@EliotJohnson678 4 ай бұрын
I feel like it has less to do with the sound processing and more of a timing, pitch imperfection, arrangement, breath control, and varied articulation issues with brass samples. If you can make all of those fit more of a realistic/how someone would actually play the horn feel, then they instantly sound a lot better. I find just fitting the horns in a proper arrangement with realistic parts that sound good and would be something played by a real horn section, sounds super good. Most of the time, people are trying to fit strange brass riffs in a song or arrangement that sounds like crap from a melodic or chord standpoint, therefore sounding fake.

Most of the people typing dismissive comments are missing the point ( not to mention how rude and insulting it is especially when someone puts in all their time to make it sound as good as possible ). Although it's true that nothing sounds as good as the real thing many people doing music as a hobby or even composing music professionally can't afford to hire session musicians. Session Horns Pro is still better than Halion Sonic, Sampletank or even the Band library in Kontakt Factory. You could make that argument about any instrument. Another reason for composing everything with midi synthesized instruments is for convenience and it also saves a lot of time if your doing loads of tracks on mass in such a short space of time.

And loosen your quantize a little...

Basically nice video however your horns sound like sampled horns. I am a saxophone player and also have done plenty of horn arrangements using all samples when I don't have time to pull out my saxes or with all real instruments to a combination of both. What you need to do is manually create anomalies in each part - timing, pitch etc... you can use Melodyn if you have it to make things go faster if you render to audio. Also that fall doesn't anything like a real section. Keep on working at it and listen to real horn sections, if you can get your hands on multitracks of a section you'll see what I'm talking about.

Yes but not all of us can afford to hire a brass band or have the ability to play a brass instrument let alone possess a brass instrument. To most people this will sound like a brass band and they won't be saying "this sounds like a Casio keyboard" or even tweak that it was done on a computer as people who don't do music production don't even know what Kontakt is. Even on TV broacasts I find it difficult to tell the difference from a sample library or the real thing but with many 90s TV broadcasts I can tell if the sounds are from a particular sound module or drum machine but with VST instruments you can't do that.

In my humble opinion I much prefer the Swam Saxophones and the Trumpet v3 & Trombone v3 which walk all over the horns being presented here. The Swam Trumpets are pretty nice as well.

Would've been nice to have a sound comparison with Logic's Studio Horns. In your example NIs Session Horns Pro sound very, very synthetic (almost 80s) I must say. I can't even tell what instruments these are supposed to be (3x Sax?) and processing doesn't fix it. Further more an "arrangement" in octaves surely doesn't help to improve things. Why not chords in an appropriate, three or four-tone harmony arrangement? After all you're the guy who says (100% rightfully) that nothing beats a good arrangement! Sorry, but you've made much better tutorials than this.

@NathanJamesLarsen 2 жыл бұрын
I mean - that 80s pop / funk vibe is what I was personally going for in this track. That's fine if you don't like that sound - but the principles are similar across genre. As far as arrangement in octaves - this is a very common practice with horn writing... I wanted a very strong emphasis on the melody and in this case - stacking harmonies above or below would detract from what I was ultimately wanting. Trust me - if I wanted to make it complex, I'm more than capable of doing that - but throwing the kitchen sink at an arrangement isn't the marker of a great arrangement. Again - you don't need to like it - can't please everyone, nor am I attempting to. I make the music I get excited about. That's not everyone's cup of tea and that's okay, and there's even a lesson there - you will not make music that everyone will love. Some people will hate it. Hopefully you'll like the next one better.

It still doesn't convince me. It still sounds like a cheap Casio.

Still too digital. Doesn't feel natural. Not airy and analog. Still sounds like a video game unfortunately. Maybe add saturation artifact in there somewhere to the mix bus

Hey, you should change the name of the video "How to Make EPIC Pop/Funk Brass” for ✅How to make your brass bigger with plugins. Fake tittle.

This seems like an awful lot of work that still cannot disguise simulated brass. It gets worse with simulated saxes. I’m not being personal but to a wind section player these sounds are not convincing and for most other listeners the original will sound as good.

You talk about making epic brass while you go 100% quantization with your midi? My dude you need to rethink music production or at least your video titles.

Those sound pretty fake to me. I truly believe the only way to achieve this is to at least have a real trumpet.

What's wrong with hobbyists making the best of what they have? Not everyone has a trumpet lying around and I completely disagree that it's not possible to do everything in the box or the notion that midi backing tracks are a bad thing. Some of the orchestral libraries such as Albion One and Angry Brass pull off realism far better than this library. This video proves that it's possible to pull off convincing orchestral music entirely with top quality sample libraies and you would have heard libraries like this without even realizing it on loads of TV programs over the last decade. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJOAobmI0NOmcZ8.html

@@NathanJamesLarsen I am and I’m honest too, I have seen loads of your videos but this is trash. The horns sound no better than the presets, it’s constructive criticism and not an attack on you, your personality or your skills and judging by your retort you’re obviously upset about my comment.

@@davidmarshall5665 Criticism is constructive when you offer helpful solutions. You could have suggested some tips for working with Session Horns Pro, or offered a more realistic alternative like Sample Modelling Brass or VHorns. Also, your posts definitely come across as aggressive and not nice. Try using less vitriolic words like "awful", "trash", and don't make it personal by saying "you need to stop smoking and listen to that again."
