I'm getting back into "playing around in a home studio" mode and feel pretty good about my soft-synth lineup. What I'm looking to add would be what is probably quite a niche deal: female vocals, not words so much, but phrases/oohs/aahs...Hell I don't even know what you'd call it
Granted, there are words, but I'm thinking something like you hear on the Gladiator or last song on the Gravity soundtracks. More in the cinematic/soundtrack line and not house/pop etc.I'd much prefer "raw" vocals with no fx, and certainly not in a synth bed or looping instruments. Getting to mess with the vocals with fx and adding my own tracks is the fun part!
Whether this would be a vocal "instrument" (Kontakt or other) or just samples that I can place and manipulate, no clue. Certainly while I know a bit about software synths this is an area of ignorance!
I did see a likely contender and of course can't find it at the moment. I'll post it as an example of what I'm looking for (and to see if anyone thinks it's any good) once I find it!
As I'm not a pro and I'm just doing this for kicks, I'd like to keep the cost down. Hundreds of dollars is probably out barring a good sale, as this isn't probably something I'd use all the time.
Edit: Found it! Gah, at least I found others as well while looking for this. The demos of this are pretty much what I'm after. Unfortunately I'd need full Kontakt for this (which I'd like to get, but was hoping to wait for a discount on Komplete, grr.....)
