I have NI session horns, this is a good idea, I do this quite often. Of all the MIDI VSTs out there horns are the hardest to replicate well. I also use a few other horn plugins, some built into my DAW.. then I send them all to a group buss channel, put some light compression on them, add some air around 5-8k, and dip some low/mids out.. it helps to detune some of the horns also.. Duke Ellington was famous for having the rear horn section play a semi-tone out (very very lightly) to give a chorus effect.. of course, it would be easier to have a nice horn section in the studio, boom! done.. :D great video!
Bro, this is really great! I was shying from adding brass on my productions, but you just demonstrated how I can just keep it simple and still get a great sound. Thanks.
Thanks for posting this video! As a new user of the session horns plugin, this was a huge help! The video filled in a major blank for me which was how to apply multiple "actions" (falls, doits, etc) to a single horn line. I was stuck on the fact that I could choose only one action in the session horns window. But you came up with the perfect solution. Split the horn part out into separate tracks, then apply a different action to each! Again, thanks for posting this, man.
Hello, writing from France, i'm stunned watching your video. WOah !! The brass line you wrote is just so " Kool and the Gang" and the slur fx is so realistic ! I'm beginning on Stuio one DAW and your tuto is a very encouraging for guys like me... SO thanks thousand times. I'm tryin' to look in my daw how to create this fx on my own songs... Oh and, so sad i'm far from USA cos' i searched on the web for Lakewood church... My god ( with no game word...) that's something impressive... If only in FRance we could have this, many guys will go on sunday and ROck the faith !! Bye bye Sir, and thanks again ;)
You have great programming skills with Session Horns. However, don't forget that the original track contains live brass sections (specifically starting at 3 minutes into 'Free For All'). When you layer live brass with any VST instrument, it can make even the most synthetic sounds sound somewhat realistic. I believe the biggest reason the brass in this video sounds so authentic is not just due to Session Horns' quality but also because there's a live brass section in the track playing alongside.
Marcusmiller yes, I have since transitioned to Session Horns Pro... but in all honesty, the standard version gets the job done well and when you add effects, it really shines!!! :)
13 years of trombone practice thousands of dollars on instruments, repairs, lessons, etc and a a logic pro plug-in puts me out of work in 5 mins and 53 seconds lol
Did something similar for rehearsal purposes when the brass section couldn't be present. It worked pretty well, considering that I've built all the brass parts by ear (can't read nor write music). Session Horns is A-MA-ZING 😊
How great! I want to record midi trumpet for a song and was wondering how to do articulations. I watched a video where it was suggested to set up different tracks for them. After that I was wandering if I must record each part separately or just one track and then split notes. I see that this way is very convenient. And I have Session Horns since three days, I will experiment! I have Cuba for Kontakt, too, with a trumpet there. Now with your approach I am very tempted to put more winds in the song.
Hi, I would just like to thank you very much for this video, it's given me more insight regarding how to create brass realistically! PS. I'm just starting out and a real beginner!! hope you make more videos on create brass realistically, especially for beginners like me. Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge to others! :)
Wow.nice tutorial sir.. All your videos have been helpful.have not been posting comments cause i just learn't how to.. wanted to ask if you could please do a video on how to make click tracks for worship songs...thanks you sir.God bless
Hey KC, I realize this video is 8 years old at this point, but it's new to me and I'm new to this midi backing track building, so I'm hoping you have a minute to answer what I hope is a simple answer to a simple question. How did you get the horns to do that power crescendo at the end, please? Is that one of the choices in that drop down menu you showed? Great arrangement and horn choices btw! Thanks man and God bless!
Very good, but is it possible to show how you did the other tracks for move the parts for the articulations??? I've tried to do the same creating more tracks in Cubase 5 and didn't work!!! Many thanks.
Great sounding arrangement. What preset and articulation are you using for the main section part? eg around 2:14. Any chance you can do a more in depth tutorial on writing realistic horns parts, the music theory, unison/cords, smart cord, polyphonic, articulations, the production etc?
Hi, thanks so much for this video. Any chance you could do another video on mixing this brass to the track? I really want to see how real you can make Session Horns before I get it. Thanks again.
What's up KC... I was just wondering how you were able to get the audio track snapped to a particular tempo in this program. I'm trying to do this with my Sonar LE.
Hi Kieara! It's kinda' confusing, but here's the simple process... cut the beginning of the track where there is no silence... then turn on the metronome and listen to the clicks... adjust the tempo until the metronome clicks are on beat with the song... there is an easier way using Ableton... it will detect and give you the tempo in most instances... ;)
Hi K.C. thanks for this amazon RUclips Video. I went out and got Horn Session and it's the best midi horns I have heard. I'm having issues with setting up the sounds in Logic. How did you set it up to get the expressions to translate into Logic? I't looks like you have Logic setup as a Midi through. Happy holiday's and it you can help me out that would be wonderful.
I'm curious why you played 3 trumpet parts in harmony instead of using a section? I'm brand new to this library and just trying to figure out the best way to use it.
I prefer to use Ableton Live for my church services... and I just upgraded to Session Horns Pro...which was included with my Komplete 10 bundle... Thanks for the support!!!
dude sounds like Andre 3000!! Awesome video. would love to know these 'more expensive' libraries....PLEASE TELL!!! i love session horns pro - it gives me the horn
Your church is lucky to have you that sounds amazing
His church must wake up god when he's having a sleep.

one of the most realistic midi horns arrangement I've heard. great great great job my man!
It was and his church must be awesome with him being there.
BRAVO!!! THis is the best sounding digital horns I've seen and heard on You Tube. Thank you for the tip.
This is the best demo of this product I've found on youtube. Great job.
And I just picked it up for $50
Tienes los midis me los vendes
After ONE minute of watching that sound... yes! This is what I need :)
Let's continue & say THX in advance...
no wayyyyyy, you did this song/ We use to sing this in church.. OUTSTANDING......

Man this sounds fantastic even when it's dry
Bless you sir, sounding real nice! I’m in the market for some horns, and you may have sold me on these
Sounds really good in the mix (not so much when solo). Great arrangement!
You are a major blessing once again KC!

Now this is a great educational video. Very demonstrative and well-rounded. Thanks a lot!
Very impressive man!! Great track. Thanks for these tips (brilliant arrangement)
Thanks so much man!! So glad you're gaining tips from this video! Much love ☀️💚
Wow the dry sounds great!
Yeah, I thought the same thing when I first heard them for the first time myself!!! I can't wait to wet them up and add a tad of chorus to them!!!!

this is a great demo. simple , yet demonstrative in good form .
Thanks for the information. Song sounds really good too.. 👍
Wow thanks so much!!! Had a lot of fun putting this one together!
you sold me on session horns with this video. cheers dude, you are talented!
Marcusmiller yes, I have since transitioned to Session Horns Pro... but in all honesty, the standard version gets the job done well and when you add effects, it really shines!!! :)
Lol you just sold me session horns standard too. I bought it :D You need to put in affiliates ;D
Marcusmiller wtf is his talent? Stealing gigs from actual trumpet players? Great
13 years of trombone practice thousands of dollars on instruments, repairs, lessons, etc and a a logic pro plug-in puts me out of work in 5 mins and 53 seconds lol

Man, Brotha, you made those horns sound so real they jump. Nice work. I'm gonna get Session Horns Pro as soon as my income tax check comes
Had no clue how you created those “shake” and “slur” effects...then I got to the end 😂😂😅
Thanks man! I’ve been DYING to replicate this Motown sound 😍
yes i need the clue for crated the slur
If that's simple I'd like to see advanced.
That's sounds amazing.
Respect to you.
Those horns sound killer, well done!

You just sold this VST in three minutes. Thanks for this video!!!

HEY MEN INCREIBLEEEE!
Reinier Chacon Thanks for watching!!! :)
Great video. Is this three instances of Kontakt, or do all three MIDI tracks feed into the same instrument instance?
genius!!! thanks for sharing!!
Lorraine Höller
If u like romance music visit my channel ... cheers :D
wow... great stuff... thanx
Thanks for this tip, helped a lot.
Glad I could assist in your music journey!!! There are many ways to get the end result...this is just one simple way to get there!!! ;)
Perfect... God bless You
Can i join your church? Track sounds great !
How to make 'slur up' and 'shake' sound? I'm using Session Horns but I can't find the way.
Which song is this? I love it, even without the horns. Need to get Session Horns.
Great sounding arrangement. What preset and articulation are you using for the main section part? eg around 2:14. Any chance you can do a more in depth tutorial on writing realistic horns parts, the music theory, unison/cords, smart cord, polyphonic, articulations, the production etc?
Appreciate it! this video was very helpful ✊🏾
This is an amazing tutorial. Thanks a lot.
Great job.
Keith Lindsay Thanks! ;-)
Hi, thanks so much for this video. Any chance you could do another video on mixing this brass to the track? I really want to see how real you can make Session Horns before I get it. Thanks again.
good work! thanks for video!
I love this song!!!
Thank you for this video. Is it possible to have fp last longer than 4 beats?
fantastic.... :D
Greaaaaaaaaaaaaat all these are sample?
Excellent Track!
Awesome
Thank you! Much love ☀️💚
Love this track!
What's up KC... I was just wondering how you were able to get the audio track snapped to a particular tempo in this program. I'm trying to do this with my Sonar LE.

Michael Shealy Hi!!! Ok, so are you not getting the sounds to play, or just the different effects/expression?
I'm curious why you played 3 trumpet parts in harmony instead of using a section?
I'm brand new to this library and just trying to figure out the best way to use it.
Very nice! Which song is that?
Fabulous! Thank you!
Superb!
How did you create your horn slurs? Is there an option in Session Horns that allow you to create the slur?
Big Tank You're right on... there are different presets to change the different effects...
Hi K.C..Those horns sound great. Which program are you going to use to play these horns tracks and what other horn programs are you looking at?
I prefer to use Ableton Live for my church services... and I just upgraded to Session Horns Pro...which was included with my Komplete 10 bundle... Thanks for the support!!!
dude sounds like Andre 3000!!
Awesome video. would love to know these 'more expensive' libraries....PLEASE TELL!!!
i love session horns pro - it gives me the horn
Amen!
Thanks
Great job bruv!!
Thanks a lot my friend!!!
