Advice on good sampled Choir Voices

snoopy4ever · Post by **snoopy4ever** » Wed Mar 10, 2004 11:05 am

I'm interested on good sampled voices (or any other accpetable one), male and female, for those famous "Ahh's" "Ohh's" "Uhh's", with any mix or combinations of genders, brilliance or misterious textures. Maybe you guys may know of some library or set of resources that I'm not aware of.

Thanks in advance.

I use "Symphony of Voices" and am very happy with. But it is expensive, about $US400 I think. The other one that is often seen as the darker alternative to SOV is "Voices of the Apocalypse" for about the same price. But sadly it's only giga format so depending on your sampler that might be a problem. It is said to have a much more "wagnerian" feel than SOV.

An mp3 of mine in the song section on the Z uses a lot of SOV:

I use Symphony of Voices too.
Expensive, and naturally there are always lots of things you'll never use on a 5 CD set.
Having said that I'd recommend spending the money.
You mention wanting lots of Oohs, Aahs, Ohs, Mmms etc - plenty of them on SoV

I used them on this track:

Yep,
