Nigel,

There are some really nice brass samples - short and quite easy to get and use - though finding the right one for a particular spot in a song can be time consuming (but worth it, I think.

These are free:

There are 85 mp3 to download (each is small)



I used them just once. In a song I posted to the Showcase some years ago.
You can find it here if you want to hear it:

The horns begin around :30
...they do some cool stuff around 1:00...


I believe I downloaded each individually. Don't remember how I did that. There is now a link at the bottom which takes you to a page to enter your email address and they will send instructions...
