I'm looking to add in some horns and brass instruments into my music. I was looking at the iFretless line of apps (iFretless Brass and iFretless Sax) are those decent quality? Any other apps you guys can recommend?
Thanks!

- This might be worth a look:BeatHawk has a brass IAP pack as well. Can't comment on the quality of either as I'm not really into horns...
- Thumbjam has some nice samples, and is not a single-purpose app.
- The BeatHawk brass pack sounds good, but maybe limited in application. Surprisingly, I found some useful brass sounds inside of Korg's iM1, and don't overlook GarageBand...some decent sounds in there too.

Skip that one.If you NEED a one-trick pony smooth, sensual sax, then there’s this. It’s not very versatile; don’t expect to wail. But it sounds good even if it’s somewhat a novelty.Sensual Sax by Embertone
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sensual-sax/id1186361516?mt=8 - I'll second ThumbJam.
There are also some really good brass soundfonts out there if you want to go that route. - ThumbJam for the Harmon Mute especially though the others are quite nice. It's a must have app. Heavy Brass is excellent.

I'll check some of those suggestions out

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sensual-sax/id1186361516?mt=8Agreed - Sensual Sax is definitely a one-trick pony, but MAN WHAT A TRICK! It sounds amazing - just know that it's got a VERY specific application so it may not be what you're looking for.Great sound and a blast to play. - @dvlmusic said:@oat_phipps said:@illaddin said:

I don't particularly like sax in a band, and I like horn apps even less so since they never get it right. Let's get this out of the way:SENSUAL SAX IS EXTREMELY SILLYThat being said, it's the only app/plugin I've heard that actually SOUNDS like a sax. All of the slides, trills, glissandos, etc. combined with a realistic vibrato really give it an air of authenticity I've not heard elsewhere. But yeah, you're not going to be jamming old 50's tunes or jazz standards or anything with Sensual Sax. You've got to be going for a Gerry-Rafferty-Baker-Street-meets-Wham!-Careless-Whisper vibe. - @dvlmusic said:@CracklePot said:@dvlmusic said:@oat_phipps said:@illaddin said:

I thought I saw a video demo of this a long time ago and from what I remember my reaction was 'Damn that sounds like some Kenny G.' Your two references are way better than mine, lol.Now I'm trying to imagine this thing playing through a bunch of FX or even ToneStack-type amp/FX setups. Jeez it even is an AU apparently.
