Best Trumpet VST LibrariesAre you looking for great sounding trumpet sample libraries and VST plugins to use in your music productions?

I mainly compose orchestral and cinematic music myself, so I tend to favor trumpets recorded in concert halls and scoring stages, but sometimes you need a more dry sound for pop, jazz and band music. 

So I made a list of trumpet VST libraries I can highly recommend. Some of these are brass collections, most including: tubas, trombones, horns and trumpets. But I have chosen the ones which includes my favorite trumpets for: Sound, Playability, Ease of Use etc.

How to Choose a Trumpet VST?

The most important thing is if you like the sound, tone and character of the instrument. This means listening to the dynamic range (swells and arcs), short notes (staccato, sforzando, marcato), and transitions (legato).

Then you should check the specifications and see what articulations (instrument playing techniques) that are available, how many dynamic layers are recorded and so on.

I personally favor software instruments that are extremely playable, as it is so much more inspiring when composing music.
