The best instruments to get that hard hitting epic, powerful Hans Zimmer sound.
Augmented Strings - Arturia

A lush, expressive String l;ibrary. It comes with ready to use presets, from ambient textural strings sounds to Sequences disco strings for dance music. A fun versatile string instrument.
UJAM DRUMS - Hans Zimmer Collection

A collection of crazy cinematic drums. Drums that sound like they came out of the Batman dark knight movies. These drum sounds are ready to go.
UJAM BRAAAS!

A collection of Hollywood level brass phrases right at your fingertips. It comes with a tonne of presets that sound ready to go, epicness levels are off the charts.
Soundbox - Audiomodern

Soundbox is awesome for cinematic sound effects and textures. I use this for big sounding impacts and Hits for epic movie trailer style music.
Change Voice to male or female - Controlla voice

When you have vocal ideas but not happy with the sound of your voice. Use this to swap your voice to a powerful female vocalist or a raspy Male rock singer. Controlla has a selection of royalty free voice to swap your voice to.
Jacob Collier Audience Choir - Native Instruments

A unique and inspiring choir instrument created from Jacob Collier’s live audience. Great for adding human warmth and realism. I love how you can glide through the different vowels making this pllugin come to life even more. It also comes with a bunch of audience claps, stomps and shouts which are fun play with.
The Free Orchestra 1&2

A great starting point for cinematic scoring, includes epic strings, powerful brass, percussion and effects from ProjectSAM's professional libraries. My favourite brass is "Pandoras burst" found in The free orchestra 1, It sounds like that epic BRAAAM sound you hear in Hans zimmer music.
Short Strings - Fractured Sounds

Punchy powerful short strings. This is perfect for adding rhythmic string melodies that has drive and bite while cutting through the mix of your music. The "Mic Mix" allows you to have the strings nearer or further, The "Colour" knob is a small but noticable detail that brightens or dapens your strings. Go check out all of fracture sounds tools, there epic.
Controlla Voice - Voice Swap (ULTIMATE CHOIR)
If you want to make your own epic choir, this is the closest you will get to a choir singing your own lyrics in your own melodies. A choir is made up of several different voices with different textures. So i like to use controlla voice to swap my vocal stacks in to different voices to get that "Choir Effect". Watch this video full a full breakdown.
