but that's not a good representation of SSB sound
real SSB sound lies on T+A
I love it and use it all the time. Sometimes I just want something a little different so I may go for Hollywood Brass or Cinebrass. I used all three to pitch recently for a series that I landed.
People say it's "softer" and in some patches it does lack some of the scream that other libraries have, but to generalise and say it "can't do that" is not accurate. The a6 patches (formerly the Phalanx) can really rip it out, and the Spitfire trumpets are excellent.
Not as thrilled with the solo trombones, but the rest of the library is really good.
Good luck either way Jono. One needs maybe a smaller palette of brass compared with, say, strings, but having a couple / three choices is good.
When I can get Cinebrass Complete for roughly the same price as Cinematic Studio Brass (about 70€ more), which one is better value for money? Can CSB also deliver the "Heroic" Sound of CB? I heard that CB is not as good in the lower dynamics as CSB which would make it less flexible... I really don't know how to decide, even after listening through countless comparisons and now both for roughly the same price... This is making it so hard to decide, maybe someone can help me a bit.
Thanks!

HWB is my go-to.
CBS is recorded in a controlled environment, and either you like it or you don´t. But in my view there is no better brass library out there when it comes to nuances and feel – it is by far the best choice if you like to handle the delicate colours of your arrangement. Then its up to you and your taste of reverb. CBS can be a monster if you want that heroic power

if there was a decent crossgrade path to hwo diamond i would get it.
