Default Unison horns on separate tracks sound phasey...

I have exactly this problem at my church where we have two violins and a

the two violins on the same part, but instead, give them separate
harmony lines.


If a melody line needs to be reinforced by doubling the part, it's much
more effective if they are an octave apart. This would also avoid the
phase interaction problem as the harmonic structures are just too
different to create that sort of interference.
