GarageBand: where are the orchestral horns?

Hi. I'm new to GarageBand. I'm running GB '09 (Version 5.1). I'm working on a score and decided to try GB to hear some parts.


Can anyone tell me where I can find French Horns? Actually, (I'd like to find the sounds for the other orchestral instruments too.) In the Software Instruments section under Horns, it only lists Dub Horns, Horn Section, Live Pop Horns, Pop Horn Section, and Trumpet Section.


Are the other "standard" orchestra instruments (oboe, English horn, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, and tuba, for example, plus the sounds strings can make, like tremolo) somewhere in GarageBand? Does the latest version have these sounds?


Thanks for any advice.

Thank you. I didn't realize that additional packs were available.


NOTE for anyone else with a similar issue: In searching other threads it appears that different versions of GB may remove sounds from previous versions. Installing Logic and/or Logic Express may or may not do the same thing. These threads discuss work-arounds for the problem, but none of them documented (from what I could find) in the Apple literature. It seems that backing up sounds folders before an install might be wise.


Burgundia, thanks again.
