Does anyone use any good sample libraries with horn sections that are good for surf? I'd imagine orchestral stuff is not well suited, but anything more suited for pop or rock would fit better. Or maybe Latin style if that's a thing.

I'm looking at Native Instruments Session Horns. Seems to be a good choice, and really affordable too.

Not sure on what scale virtual instruments are "good for surf"...
Maybe just that they'd sound as natural as possible, with zero (or close to) post-processing applied to the source material.

I think usability and easy mapping are more important that a perceived connection to a style.

I enjoyed Sample modeling - the Trumpet
Not sample based, rather %100 algorithmic - light and stable, as well as sounding very clean and enabling natural transitions.

You can hear them in my little backing track here.
^ which was done moronically by hand drawing MIDI. A good controller, of some type, is a must!

Thanks for the recommendation.

As it is, all I have is the content that comes with Studio One Pro. The trumpets actually aren't too terrible, but the articulations aren't that varied from what I'm seeing. For example, I can't seem to get a volume swell from soft to loud.

The ones here:

are about the least post-processed that you'll find.
