3:45 the sax/horn section is crazy sexy. How do you record it? Do you use plugins like session horns pro for demoing horns etc. and then you record it with real saxophone?

[@thirdislandproductions9708]

Yeah actually I recorded the lines on guitar and then transposed on to staff paper for Tenor sax and flute and then had my horn player come in and record. I used just a condenser and Overdubbed parts.

@@thirdislandproductions9708 really good sound, thank you!
what is your processing for horns?
But even more interested in plugins you might use for the horn sections.
For demo purposes I use session horns pro with all the 12 articulations. It is solid, but not as good as real ones of course

@@0oTHEJACKo0 Man I Just use my go to plugins. My Lindell 80 Channel Strip on individual tracks, UA 1176 A medium compression, Plate Reverb, Then I bus the Horns and add some Saturation with Black Box and then SSL Bus comp. Nothin Crazy!

@@thirdislandproductions9708 makes perfect sense!
I like the AIR on the black box. Could come in handy for horns man!
