NI Session Horns Pro VS East West Hollywood Pop Brass

Plugins

I’m about to pull the trigger on a full-featured brass library/plugin to use in cover songs. We’re getting ready to work up Smooth by Santana and there are a large number of articulation types covered in the song I’d like to find a way to cover most of (falls, trills, etc…). I would also likely use such a library/plugin to replace my brass sounds on the following songs.

Uptown Funk
September
Play that Funky Music
Brick House
The One that I Want
California Love
December 1963
Stayin’ Alive
Can’t Stop the Feelin’
My House
My Prerogative

I’m wondering if any of you have tried either or both of these plugin/library choices and if so, could you share your thoughts on suitability to handle the types of material we cover regularly.

For Pop Brass I am using the Kontakt Factory Library
Trumpet Section Octav Hamrony and Trombone Section Octav Harmony.

For I wish I’m using Session Horns.

I’m using NI Session Horns Pro on most songs I play that need a realistic brass section sound, Uptown Funk being one of them.

On the off chance you haven’t seen this, here’s what I think is the best video mashup on YouTube.
