Well, now that I was in the right place, I went all-out. I researched brass instruments, from Arturia's Brass
to
AMG's Kick Ass Brass (KAB for short)
After downloading a demo from Arturia, I decided on KAB, mainly because of ease-of-use + overall sound quality across all the brass instruments. That, and I could easily layer multiple brass instruments to form a section, unlike with Arturia...I know, I know (I can hear the die-hards now) I can instantiate multiple copies of Brass in my DAW (which is Cubase), but it still took a *lot* of work to try to get Arturia to sound like a real instrument. I think if I were more knowledgeable about either the instrument or about sound synthesis I could make it sound great, but the bottom line is that I didn't want to spend the time.
...selfish me, I wanted it to work--and work well and fast.
Besides, I was able to get a live trumpet player on for one of the parts, so all I needed was a really good scratch-track anyway. KAB was it and it's done a great job so far...
