Hey Guys here is the first official sample library from Black Octopus Sound, please let me know if you have any further questions!
SPECIAL INTRO PRICE $39.99!
Step into the world of Veela with this exclusive 1GB sample pack of vocal recordings. There is nothing quite like finding the right vocal for a track and with Siren you are given a collection of vocals that range from beautiful, angelic, and haunting from this sought after vocalist. 15 construction kits paired with a massive supply of bonus material, all organized and labelled with correct key and tempo information make this pack a producers dream. Veela has been featured on many top 100 beatport tracks and her collaboration with Blackmill was the #4 most blogged about song on Hype Machine. Her mission to share beauty and inspire shines through in this pack and there is no doubt that these vocals will be featured on many chart topping tracks for years to come.
Pack inlcudes:
15 Construction Kits - Vocals phrases and samples suitable for all kinds of music, each kit is named with the original chord progression it was recorded to for maximum efficiency. Stories woven into songs, beautiful melodies and adlibs fill up this section. Don't be afraid to mix and match, time-stretch or load into your favorite pitch correction software such as Melodyne or Newtone to create all new melodies and phrases. All kits are recorded to 128bpm and still sound great when stretched to other tempos.
Loops - Gated sustains, vocal percussion, and twisted glitch loops perfect for chopping up or laying directly in your track. All loops tempo stretched to 128bpm and labelled with the correct pitch.
Vocal FX - Heavily verbed breaths, reverse reverbs both tonal and atonal, and blurred vocal swells perfect for transitions for for building tension in your tracks
Spoken - Over 100 spoken phrases, perfect to drop in over a breakdown or fill. Begging to be chopped up into intricate edits!
Bonus Material - We wanted to give you, the producer, as much material to work with in this pack so we've included all of the production material such as random weird vocal noises, single sustain tones (several for each note), laughs and sighs & breath noises. These recordings are a sound designers paradise!
**NOTE that the demo features additional instrumental loops that are not included in the pack.
Siren was recorded with a Neuman TLM103 and processed with the finest gear from Universal Audio for analog warmth such as Studer A800, Empirical Labs Fatso, LA2A compressor, EMT250, Valhalla Room, Harrison 32C EQ, SSL E Channel Strip, Manley Massive Passive EQ. All recordings are relatively dry however to ensure the producer has maximum flexibility.

That does sound pretty good.
You'd do well to release a small freebie (say 15-20 samples) demo so that people can incorporate it into a mix and get people talking about it on Soundcloud.

Argh! I totally lost the contest! And i love these vocals! 
I hope there will be another contest soon with the same vocal samples as prize.
Anyway, although i'm poor, i'm saving money for it, i liked it very much and i think it worth it.
Have a good day and Merry Christmas

Hi Toby,
Looks like a great library.
Unfortunately there's a few important details missing from the website, either that or I'm going blind!
1. What format are the samples in (including sample & bit rates)?
2. When does the introductory pricing end?
3. It would be a great idea to have a complete list of all the included samples (a pdf detailing the folder contents would suffice).
4. Similar to point 3 a list of all the things Veela sings/says (I understand this may be not possible/difficult).
5. As you already indicated a demo pack to sample before the intro price ends would be beneficial.
Anyway I'm certainly interested in the library. I hope you find the feedback helpful!

Nice ideas schlickton
I have been looking out for a vocal pack which suits my needs for quite a while. This is a strong contender as well as the new camel alchemy soundset. I need more info/dry audio snippets to convince me this is the one

Ok I've updated the product page with more info...
1) Format is over 700 24bit 44.1k WAV files
2) Introductory price will go to at least the end of January
3) I've added a text file on the product page with the full file list & structure.
4) Although it doesn't have the full wording - the file naming gives you a good idea of what it is said. As you can see from it we tried to keep it very organized so it is easy to find what you are looking for.
5) Demo pack will be uploaded tonight or tomorrow.
please let me know if you have any other questions!

THanks for uploading this demo. JUst listening to a current prog trance track of mine with "ooh2" through a gate. JUst what I am looking for. Vella's voice sits perfectly with my music giving it a much needed bit of soultoby wrote:42 MB no strings attached free demo now available on the product page.

great to hear, I love those miscellaneous "ooh" & "aaah" type vocal sounds - so useful for gating & chopping up as well as when you want a vocal in your track but you don't actually want any words. If you look at the file list you can see we made sure to include a ton of those.
