Alex,
I guess the intent of my thread has been slightly misinterpreted. I was merely looking for a timbre instead of orchestration and arrangement style and technique. It's not so much the use of "colour", "instrument range and combinations" or other rudimentary orchestration scenarios, but more of what I call "that sound." The same sound I get when I record with a live orchestra and want to "dig" into the brass section. And yes it is that "LA Hollywood sound". Love 'em or hate 'em, LA players are the best at what they do and I loved it the first time that I recorded them there and do everytime since then (budget permitting). Now fortunately Herb turned me on to a Velocity ff Tpt patch that I had over looked and as it turns out, it's exactly what the Dr. ordered! Big and fat and can add the dynamic that I'm looking for when I need that timbre, or alternatively as someone jokingly put it, "need to go to 11" (very funny-Spinal Tap does live on) I'll best equate it to the difference between the 4 Horns in the Pro and the grandiose of the Epic Horns! Big difference when you're trying to get your musical point across. (Which by the way, I'm just now ordering Epic as I've had a friend of mine replace my 4 Horns in my sequence for me. When I heard the difference, all I can say... Just rediculous!)
Don't misunderstand me-I do appreciate the advice and I know anyone who is starting their musical journey can only learn from our experiences. We are the Gatekeepers! (Okay, that was a little cheesey, but you get the idea!)
Thanks again Alex,
