Buying Time - New Plugins needed

Hi all,

From time to time I like to get new products, both to inspire me to producing something different and to change the way my projects sound completely.

With this, I am also getting a new DAW and few pre-amps/mics.

But, specifically to plugins:
I just bought Komplete 9 Ultimate (pre-order) which I think is an amazing band for the bucks. You get 60 packages for just over a $1000. Unbeatable deal I think.

Now I want to upgrade my brass tools. Since I am using a lot of brass in my current productions (mainly for tv and film productions) I want to get the latest stuff there is out there.
I already have:
- Wifi (trumpet and trombone)
- Mr Sax T (the old Kontakt version)
- First Call Horns
- Garritan Jazz and BB

I was thinking of getting the acclaimed Broadway Big Band but I am more inclined to get the Lite version first and then upgrade if need ($2300 vs $499).
And also looking into the Wivi Band ($150) and The Saxophones from sample modeling (4 saxes for $350).


Anyone working with X2 and any of these plugins? Any suggestions/issues?

Thanks
joni

wait until you have had a chance to put NI's Session Horns through its paces.

Hi pp,


The session horns look amazing and I can't wait to try it out.
Although I don't think it is going to be useful for solo instruments as it was made to sound as a session.
I might get The Saxophones for that and maybe also the broadaway lite...


thank you
regards
joni

I don't like Garritan Jazz and BB too. Not realistic at all.
For sax my favorite are the sax family from sample modeling. Look forward to try their new swam engine.
thanks

Hi Joni,

Ah ha... okay. Yeah there are so many different libraries out there, you definitely need to choose them according to style.

As Colin suggested, Chris Hein Horns is another good library and more toward your needs. And there's also Mojo: Horn Section from Vir2.
