This is not as complicated as it sounds.

I do all my tracking in Logic Pro X (LPX) which is a really solid product. LPX includes a set of sampled horns that I have used here. Your tracking software likely has something very similar.

After importing the really solid rhythm section from BIAB and setting the tempo to match, I create a track for a software instrument and assign a horn from the library. Then I simply play along with the rhythm section.

I repeat this for each additional instrument. In my opinion each horn track needs to be played individually rather than copied and pasted from another track. As with live performance, there are subtile variations from track to track that give it some humanity.

I am a bass player, but I was a woodwind player in the beginning. So I am familiar (not to say expert) with breathing and phrasing of horn lines and I try to make the midi sound 'breathed.'

Give it a try!
