Looking for long uuh - aah - ooh Vocals to make Choir Pads

Hi everybody,

I want to produce Choir Pads - also for commercial purpose - with Vocal Samples like Long Oohs - Aahs - Uuuhs.

Can anyone suggest a Library / Source with good Materials for this Purpose?
I am also looking for "Training-Materials" in the first step.

And a general question: Have you ever seen a Sound Source that grants the right to produce and sell own Modifications of the Sounds?

Any other Suggestions or Experiences you have made in this Context?

Thanks in Advance for your Efforts!

If you want to spend money, Soundiron's Olympus Elements is almost like a deluxe version of 90s hardware rompler choirs which were used for a lot of classic pads. Is it still on sale? It was a few weeks ago.

For free, you got a few Full Bucket synths, scrooo and blooo are the vocal-like ones I think, and stuff like Alter/Ego which you can layer. I even did a video of making a 37-man choir by stacking five instances of Alter/Ego and sending the same MIDI to them. Maybe DeepVoice and Emvoice, too, I haven't really looked into those.

The big Converse library might have had a gospel choir, too, but I never looked into that either.

Rights to produce and sell modifications, only some free open-source stuff, and maybe Pianoteq. I'm not aware of any free open-source vocals, though, other than 272 Merry Orks, which are NOT what you want here, haha.

Maybe?

I can't remember what is in it as I'm on my phone. Pretty cool library though.

No, that is not a thing. Why would the creators of commercial sample libraries want you to resell modified versions of their products?

Why don’t you do what they did... hire a singer, record them, and create your own library?
Incomplete list of my gear: 1/8" audio input jack.

NI is running a sale (3 days left) on some vocal Kontakt instruments: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/s ... l-special/

I have no experience with these, and have nothing else to contribute.

I have the Mimi Page library that's part of the NI sale and it is awesome

I work from 8 to 5 and have two little Children ... and I would have to invest more than just lots of time! ;-)

Thank you very much for your Replys, but an (Instrument) Library is not what i´m looking for. I´ve already stumbled over many stunning NI and other Librarys. You might say that what I want to do is useless. But I want to play around with Vocal oohs and aahs a little and generate my own. I don´t make Music anymore. If it´s about Music - just DooWop!°

Any DooWop NI-Librarys out there?! :hihi:

Maybe SampleScience Player? "What makes the SampleScience Player unique is that the sounds included in the player can be used for music production as well as loop libraries production. Something you can't do with most if not all romplers. It makes the SampleScience Player a useful tool for music producers who'd like to sell both their music as tracks and as royalty-free loop packs."

For doo-wop - Realivox Ladies is a library, but as you said libraries are not what you're looking for.

You can get decent vowels from a synth with a formant filter, like the aforementioned free Full Bucket stuff. Fancier vocal synths, though, usually end up going in the direction of singing lyrics and having realistic phoneme transitions, rather than flexible oohs and aahs. But do take a look at PPG Phonem - it's weeeeeeeeeeeeeird, but will let you play with the inner workings of vowels in a way no other synth will.

The Ladies are cool but wouldn´t it be better to have them standing in the Bedroom, a Mic in their Hands? :D

I mean - damn - that´s not what I´m talking about when I say the Word "DooWop" :phones:

But anayway - the Phonem is really damn weird. I´ll check it out now. Look pretty promising, more Flexibility than a usual Synthssizer that is not designed for VOX-Stuff.

By the way: I have already expored various Synths. esp. Zebra and Harmor, also in Combination with Vowel Filters and other Spectral Effects (MCharacter, MTransformer, MUnison, ...), sampled and stacked a lot, resampled and now have > 100 Sampler Patches with realistic 80/90s Flavour, cinematic, poppy and Amientious VOX/Choir-Pads - but there is one thing I didn´t try yet: mangling the human voice. Taht´s why ...

cheers!°

EDIT: as much as I know the old Korg M1 and Wavestation Choirs/VOX have been produced with Samples. It´s surely tricky ... but simply a Challenge for me!

Enjoy ... that´s the best Advertisement for the USA(F) I´ve ever heard. <3
