Looking for Darkane quality sounding...Sounds

Was wondering if anyone could recommend me some links, or programs to purchase that can get me where I need to go.

That's tempting, since you could never get a real choir to sing that.

Just out of curiousity, what are you referring to?

 

[Radd]

Does anyone know if the voices can be separated and individually muted/soloed so you could have only one voice singing, not the whole choir?

I love Darkane's orchastral/choir work, it's absolutely beautiful in my opinion, no matter how dark.

If you're using samples like Symphonic Choir, Symphony of Voices, or such, then you just create a new instrument loaded with solo voices that are part of the sample sets. If you're using something like Magnus Choir...nope...it's the full choir or nothing.

In it's defense, Magnus Choir sounds pretty dang good for a cheap VSTi, but it's limited in its sound.

If you have a sampler like Kontakt or such and want some good choir samples for cheap...try these. A fellow Sneapster pointed me to those a while back. I just finally got around to using them, and LOVE them (although this doesn't have solo voices )

i'm pretty sure all the choirs in darkane's music have always been real people. There's a video of them recording rusted angel with a small choir of like 6 people.

I've been wanting to use a female, somewhat operatic single voice where I can program the lyrics like Symphonic Choir does with Wordbuilder. Upon listening to the samples on the site again, I do hear some single voices. They seem rather unclear though (can't understand whats being sung) and a bit too digital-fake-programmed maybe. Still, this might be what I need...

Thanks for the info grywolf!

Welcome! I may be mistaken, but I think I read where the word builder in Symphonic Choir only works with the choirs, and not the solo voices. But, maybe I read incorrectly. I myself am hunting for some good solo voices. The $600 price tag for Symphonic Choir, or $400 for Symphony of Voices (which has some great solo voices) is out of my price range. I'm even trying to just grab isolated vocal notes that I like, and pitching them up and down through various means. So far, the results are somewhat encouraging. But I'm having a heck of a time getting the sample loops points set up correctly so it sounds more or less natural when it loops (for sustained notes).

I've been interested in this for a while but its not mac compatible. Maybe I could get that program that turns your mac into windows but it probably wouldn't be worth it.

Boot camp?

Yes, your´re right! There was 14 people on the Rusted Angel recording, and about 30-35 on the intro of Insanity and Layers of Lies. So just the real deal... =) It sounds better, but it sucks to organize all people to meet at the same time.

Hmmmmmm....didn't know about that. I've seen it pop up on my google searches, but didn't look to see what it was. That's definitely a better price. Thanks for the tip!
