Hi all.
 
Looking to acquire a decent sounding vsti for brass. I've got enough orchestral brass to last me a lifetime, what I really want is something for jazz/pop/rock.
 
I've narrowed my search down to 3 and was wondering who had any experience of any of these packages:
 
1 - Chris Hein horns compact. I can't justify the cost of the full package but Compact seems worth considring'

2 - First Call Horns from Big Fish Audio

3 - Kick-Ass Brass

I welcome your thoughts

I love First Call.  And by extension Mojo Horns which, I believe, use many if not all of the same samples.

And just to add to my confusion, SOS have  just reviewed NI's Session Horns Pro

I have NI Session Horns Pro, got it on sale, sorry can't remember exactly, but I think it was around $250.00.
The part of it that I never use is the "performance" feature, which is basically preset riffs of horn section performances . . . so the "compact" version probably doesn't include that anyways.
There are also "keyswitch" and "solo" features . . . and between those 2 you have all the bases covered to create great sounding horn solo and horn section performances. This software is very well thought out, and easy to learn how to fit it into your tunes with the various articulation settings.

Session Horns Pro comes with K10 Ultimate...now on sale for $249 if you have K10,
and will be even less at JRRShop in the morning.  So for less then SHPro you can
get the whole shebang...if you have K10...

I'll be ordering it as soon as Uncle E posts it....I've been waiting for this one...

Don't know about Session Horns Pro...but just plain Session Horns SUCK. Just my humble opinion.
