For location recording there's new Edirol recorder out, Meant to be cheaper and better than the R-1. If reviews are good I may get it.I've had this idea of recording Tokyo department store lift girls: They just stand in the corner of the lift, announce floors on very polite language, but in a voice at least an octave too high, can sound incredibly squeaky and unnatural. I've always had this idea of mixing it into the breakdown on techno track. Ue mai-li-masu, Ue di gozaiiIIIIIIIIMAAAAAASSSSS (going up, Going UPPPPPPP)

Hey! Thank you Tony

those marbles I left in the net bag to get the shaker sounds first, then did the other stuff to them - they sound quite like the shell type shakes like that

Re the edirol - technology moves fast, so check out all that is available when you come to make a purchase - the build quality can be a bit, well, not thought out fully with some edirol stuff, check it out thoroughly before buying.

Best regards,

Peter

YES! i need little vocal snippets, in the house fashion. Sexy female words, reading a few gloss mag sentences? You know the ones about "Better Sex Now!" And some good, not cheesy but good vocal crooning, not trancey (please NOT trancey). Ive heard some from Diamond, but they were juest sickeiong corny, ugh!. I need deep ones, tell me when and where and ill break out the plastic!

I'll second the consonants. A fairly complete set of vowels and consonants could be fun to fiddle around with. I already have a set of choir samples and I think I could build an elementary MIDI-driven phrase generator in EmuX, but the available solo samples are lacking - I just tested Papelmedia's Irina Brochin font and was somewhat disappointed. I prefer classical/operatic myself, and it's probably easier to sample as it's more standardized, but that of course depends on who you were going to record...

If I was actually worried about making music at a reasonable pace, I might have a different opinion...

Easy listenning 50's/60's female vocal choirs would be really cool, single female vocal with different notes/emotions with loop-points to sustain the notes would be a must buy for me! In soundfont format or sfz!

Great thread!

Sp3D - this is great, thank you for doing this.

I am looking for good quality Enya-esque (Titanic / Lord of the Rings and her songs, obviously) singing and long drawn out notes. They are very generic and can be added beautifully to projects.

I am also looking for more Omen type singing, where it sounds evil and rough.

Thanks again - this is awesome!

Some readings of Shakespeare could be nice as well.. Or poetry, just single lines without much context, but read really well, as if they were part of a larger performance.

I'd like a vocal sound of a girl getting sucker-punched.

Saw mention of consonants and also heard doo wop. Short percussive type consonants notes are just as important as say a sustained one imo. Say da, dada da, da dada, daaaaa da (not sure if that makes sense once I typed it out...the percussive part might help though).

I'd like Cameron Diaz saying "Thanks for last night Jim, I've never felt that great before, see you soon, all my love, Cam x"

Nice one peter

That's cool.

Other entertaining things to have spoken word samples of might be numbers / mathsy stuff, instruction manuals / information about DSP, phrasebook examples in english and *whatever* (if you can find someone with a decentish *whatever* accent), letters, stations on the london underground, lines of dialogue from cheap novels, film synopses, some of the more boring bits of the bible, CSS descramble, old jokes etc etc etc, for all those moments when you want a voice saying something random and not explicitly meaningful.

Actually, I might just get a microphone and start recording people saying things. Out of interest, what level of teh proffesional studio do you need to get decent clean spoken word samples that don't sound like they were recorded over the phone?

Female Vocal Sounds you might want - list them!
