Title: Recommend me choir sounds...
Post by: .:Will:. on July 15, 2019, 05:28:23 AM
'ello,

   I am looking for a plugin or software/program with the best/most realistic choir sounds. I use Logic Pro for this kind of stuff.
Any help will be very much appreciated!

Thx

Anything that emulates a Mellotron.

i use musescore but its probably not what your looking for ; ;

good for writing scores and exporting the midi into logic

but I'm not to sure vienna symphonic library is to expensive but probably quite good

search forums I'm sure you can find something

Fairly unrelated but just discovered this that is fairly neat

Interactive Gregorian Chant Generator

Omnisphere (VST) has some really impressive CHOIR patches and samples.

there are quite a lot of them for NI Kontakt, but they are all quite pricey

EastWest is probably the most affordable, because they have a $19.99/mo plan that allows you to access most if not all of their stuff: http://www.soundsonline.com/Vocals

personally, I'd probably just grab a bunch of choral records and sample what I need
or sing the lines myself, make 8-16 layers, then drown everything in reverb (actually did this once, kinda worked)

I use them and the updated patches add a few more. they are the most organic ones.

if you are looking for something less real, I'd stick to the Mellotron style that was already suggested and that was so in vogue in Fulci's movies.
You have several plugins to do that, I use this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiTHc8d9D20

(demo is shit)

I have access to composer cloud, NI Komplete etc. but honestly the best results I've found is using your own voice and layering/pitchshifting. Granted I am at least competent at singing but voice as an instrument is highly underrated. Also recommended is throwing your voice through some pitch shifting pedals or algorithms.

Agreed. I'd highly recommend Tweakbench's Tapeworm VSTi (http://www.vst4free.com/free_vst.php?plugin=tapeworm&id=1779). It's a small plugin, but it uses Mellotron samples, is really easy to use, and sounds excellent.

You can always go the route of New Age music and sample Bulgarian women's choirs

Misread this as 'Chair sounds'
