Hello,
I'm looking for some good VST to get proper horns sounds
Please recommend me something!

I have never heard of a VST specifically for horns, but I'm sure there's ways to make a similar sound with Massive/Albino3 or whatever. Just hunt through all the preset packages or tutorials on Youtube until you find something to point in the right direction of being able to design it. If you do, try and post back here, I'm pretty interested in them too. I'll keep my eyes out for anything useful.Semihedonist wrote:Hello,

I love that crappy "dirty south" horn south. Any ideas how to synthesize it? None of my synths have any decent horn presets.-[2]DAY_- wrote:unless you really want to draw for synth brass crap.. which can be cool at times.
Shit into a hamburger then fart it back out.lazermouse wrote:I love that crappy "dirty south" horn south. Any ideas how to synthesize it? None of my synths have any decent horn presets.-[2]DAY_- wrote:unless you really want to draw for synth brass crap.. which can be cool at times.
To clarify my ass-ness (not really a word lol). I already did say how. And now 2DAY has done so too.zerbaman wrote:Shit into a hamburger then fart it back out.lazermouse wrote:I love that crappy "dirty south" horn south. Any ideas how to synthesize it?

Thanks. Will try that.-[2]DAY_- wrote:I think its all about saws and how you low pass them. The envelope, mid-short attack, med. decay, set the sustain to where your horn timbre ought to be at the sustain phase, and use a touch of release on the amp envelope, with a falling (or rising?) filter envelope on the release. a touch of resonance on your low pass. That ought to be pretty much it.
There's some Triton sample packs floating around, give them a search. I remember some brass/horns and Tritons are pretty much a staple in the rap industry.lazermouse wrote:I love that crappy "dirty south" horn south. Any ideas how to synthesize it?

I got poor results with zerba's hamburger method.

If you're using FL &/or Sytrus, you should load up the horn patch in the DX7 preset folder. Export a long note and put it into a sampler so you can play an actual melody with it.
Sorry, I must have been temporarily blind, didn't see that.zerbaman wrote:![]()
Did I not post a serious response earlier?![]()
