How To Make Epic Hybrid Sound

[WilliamAEllisMusic]

I'm trying to make epic hybrid-orchestral tracks. I have the orchestral part down. I've got a subscription to EW Composer Cloud and a few very nice projects.. They were just designed to have all that epic hybrid stuff in the background. I don't have that part down yet. First of all, what are some suggestions for rather low cost synths and such I could use for this? I don't have a ton of money right now.. But I could manage some considerably low budget synths. And then of course, how should I go about using these synths and such? I'm not an expert at synthesis... So It'd help if I could find some decent tutorials on the synths I buy.. OH one thing I will say: I do not have Kontakt yet. (Very unfortunate, I know..) So I'd like all of these suggestions to be in VST format, please. I've looked for this kind of stuff myself and found some things.. But they were all above my price range... I can't pay 500+ dollars for one synth right now..

For those who attempt to help me out, thank you in advance.

Thanks,
-William
