Hey all, I love making rap music and i have always wondered how you make the trumpet sound (or is a bass synth?)
Anyways a lot of new rap songs have it and i would like to see how you guys make it if anyone produces hip hop.
I have the vst(s) massive and arturia minimoog but i cant seem to make it.
Anyways heres an example of a song that really does a great job with the "trumpet"

you can use the free synth dsk brass, but i prefer realer sounding trumpets like Chris hein's horns volume 1 and 2 for kontakt, or philharmonik, or epic horns for kontakt, or "orchestral brass classic" by project sam. also phantom horns is good.

Arturia brass sucks ass though. Sorry. I'm a brass freak too

this is more my style of a trumpet joint:

pretty sure he actually plays though, so it's probably a multi-track of real trumpet

Do they make sounds in hip-hop?

Thought they just nicked them?

That was ignorant. Most modern rap beats are not sample based; they are synthesized, just like your 'four on the floor' dilapidated stuff.
