Questionably Barbershop! ?

Most vocal libraries are solo vocals and choirs. Stuff like this that can work with more contemporary music is less common. Is that what you're asking about? Realivox Ladies is an old library, but nobody has really done it better since it came out. https://realitone.com/products/realivoxladies Realitone has a money back guarantee, so you can try it out, but wait for a sale on this. Realitone also has a cheaper lite version that only has less sounds. EastWest tried to do something similar to the Ladies with Voices of Soul. I think EastWest is a great company so I was looking forward to trying it out on Composer Cloud. But Wow! I was pretty stunned about what a total fail this is. I cannot believe that they would even release something like this. .The Soundbetter Singers is pretty also bad, but it's free https://realitone.com/products/realivoxladies Indie Voices from Splash Sound is a very small library, but if you wait for a sale it goes for $5 It is totally worth five bucks. https://www.splashsound.org/indievoices.html Some of the best contemporary vocals are in Omnisphere. Oldies but goodies. There are also some nice backup vocals in IK's SampleTank. But if you are looking for solo vocal libraries or choirs, then I would have a different answer. One library that is kind of in the middle is 8dio's The New Studio Sopranos. It has 9 singers, but you can use three at once. That's the way I like to use it. It is one of my favorite 8dio libraries. While it is pricey, it often goes down to around $78.

This is very cool male vocal texture library for Kontakt. I usually only like female vocals, but this is right up my alley. https://ink-audio.com/products/ink-vocal Requires Full Kontakt. 2.69 gb. For full version of Kontakt 5.8 and above. UI controls include envelope, filter, stereo and reverb Kontakt Instruments for 12 vocal sounds and 23 time synced rhythmic patches for each vowel. Ah Ooh Short, Ah Ooh, Ah, Huh Short, Huh, Mmh Short, Mmh, Oh Ooh short, Oh Short, Oh, Ooh, Woah

I tried it out for a few hours today and I'm very happy with it. It does what it says it will do. I like that it is still up to you to decide how you want to respond to what you see on the display, whether through EQ, side-chaining, or whatever.

$19 seems like a great price for a plugin like this, assuming it works as described. How many of you have tried it? Is there anything similar?

On the site, it says: Our Licensing-System supports two modes: Floating & Locked. The default is Floating. While your license is floating, you can transfer it between your machines as often as you like. But this requires internet access. If your studio workstation does not have internet access or do not want the plugin to connect to our servers each time it's loaded, you can Lock a License to your machine. A locked License cannot be transferred to another computer. You can read more about how the licensing system works he

I don't know if they have put Ancient World on sale before. Maybe. $139.97, when it is normally $199.95. Very interesting Tarilonte-type thing that has instruments you can't find anywhere else. In terms of sales, I've been shopping for the 'Unusual Percussion Samples" library to use with XO. I really have the impression that Big Fish raised the price for the sale. I think it was $10 or $11 and it is now $13.46. I'm not sure, but anyway, it's $9.83 at Loopmasters.

It's the first time I've ever seen an NI sale for 40% off when you can also get 40% off on the developer's website at the same time. It's also the first time that the Big Deal includes an NI Komplete product. I suppose Spitfire wants to expose their brand to a much larger group.

I believe that many of the sounds that come with XO are from Addictive Drums.

Well I'm sure we can all use some more Taikos.

I wonder what's the Damage is going to be for this product?

i got the demo and have been having a lot of fun using samples of various noises and world instruments. It's amazing how quickly it can make beats out of door slams, trash can lids and the like. Also a good way to use all my world music one-shots without using traditional rhythms. I'm very tempted. Anybody know how long this sale is going to be on? I'm wondering if it will still be on by August 1st for the new PluginBoutique giveaway.

Is it possible to drag your own MIDI files into it?

Also, the first version of Shortnoise is free. It's always been one of the most impressive freebies out there. 6 GB of content vs !0GB for the paid one. https://vstbuzz.com/freebies/shortnoise

They encourage you can follow them on social media, but they didn't even bother to set up Facebook or Twitter accounts. Suspicious? There is a legit site called SimpleLife, but not SimpleLyfe.

Here's what I LOVE about ujam. They don't care about convincing you that they've created some specific piece of analog gear. It's not this particular drum set, guitar, or bass, or effect. When I am writing a song, I try every electric bass I own for the bass part. Some work, some don't for my particular track. When I am doing that it doesn't matter if the basses are modelled or sampled recreations of some legendary bass. All that stuff no longer matters. The only thing that matters is which bass sound works best with all my other tracks. And ujam stuff sounds great. And their approach to AI works better for me than EZBass, because I am more of a player than a programmer. If you look at what the future is going to be for EZBass, it's going to be a LOT of extreme spendage. Buy, buy, buy , buy. There are so many famous basses. But ujam is just saying; use our four basses and you can handle most of your needs. And they provide regular upgrades at reasonable prices, with new features and MIDI patterns. When is the last time Toontrack ever contact you and said there would be more MIDI patterns in their genre packs? There's a lot to be said for both approaches, but I lean more towards ujam for basses at this point.

Sorry oh King, but this link takes you more directly to Lofi Dreams https://www.uvi.net/en/falcon-expansions/lofi-dreams.html

Damn! That was a great deal on the upgrade to Reason 10! ?

I haven't seen this at any of the discount stores yet.

You made me laugh out loud. ?

Looking forward to demoing these. Audiofier is one of the most amazing developers out there. I must admit though that for some reason they are the company I own the most products from and use the least in my finished songs! ? But I love playing them! I can't wait until they come up with a deal on the Riffendium products I don't own yet. I love Riffendium.

There is only one King. He is back and fie on this pretender!

Welcome home, Larry. You were missed.

The two Sonible EQs are my go-to's. I like that I am fully in control, but they give me a starting point better than anything I could do myself
