Here's a sneak peak of my mock-up of of "This Time For Sure" & "Astrid Goes For A Spin" from John Powell's score for How to Train Your Dragon. I'm using Orchestral Tool's new library, Berlin Brass. I've used a mix of the Tree, Surround, ORTF and Close II mics.

The first part with the Horns  is using the Horn Ens and all four solo horns in unison. Through the rest of the piece, I mostly use the four solo horns, with a few brief places where I use the Horn Ens patches for unison lines.

I'm using all three solo trumpets, and briefly the Trumpet Ens for unison lines. All solo trombones are heard along with solo tuba.

One thing I'm finding with this library is sometimes for unison lines, I actually prefer the sound of the solo instruments in unison as opposed to the ensamble patches.
