Thanks! Usually some light compression and EQ. Regards, Bob

You could mult it and delay one channel to create a bigger sound. Also compress, eq.... play around and see what works. I'm also a fan of the distorted horn sound eg. on the Beatles White Album (Savoy Truffle).... So many cool things to try! Best, Nick One Flight Up Recording Studios

First and foremost..... start with a sound source that is fat and full sounding.
Using the oscillators in a synth, either hardware based or emulated puts you at a disadvantage from square one. When you seriously listen to it, it might kinda sound like a horn, but on closer listen, no, not really.
There are plenty of sampled horn sounds and synths that use them. Many are fairly affordable and sound amazingly accurate to the instruments they are trying to emulate.
Compressing and doubling, while they are useful tools, still leave you with compressed and doubled synth sounds.
For a quick shot at horns where you're composing for fun, try the horn Real Tracks in Real Band. If using synths, keep them down in the mix and let the mix hide the fact that they're not real.
If you're composing for film and TV.... you better be using a really good sampled horn with articulations. Horn samplers can get pricey, especially the better ones.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

EQ first
Then doubling and reverb are often employed here.
Horns should have a reverb of some sort; in my eyes it's hard to picture a setting where they wouldn't. Live horns bounce around a room a lot. Even a dead room.
One trick, to expound on one suggestion above, is to duplicate the track, pan the original a little in one direction, pan the copy in the opposite direction and have it a little delayed and lower in volume.. then reverb them both the same amount. I've ended up with some sampled horn sections from a Juno-G that I really liked. It may not be how someone else would like it, but I did!
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
Make your sound your own!

If you have a vocal pedal (VoiceLive, VocalistLive, etc.), you could try running the synth/tracks through the doubler (or using a doubler plugin).
