I don't get it? o.o Author Post jeffijoe xSky Registration Date: 15-06-2009 Posts: 241 I have been listening for inspiration, and I find those nice choirs very nice. But I was wondering, how are they made, aside from doing them yourself? Like B-Complex - Beautiful Lies. I don't think he just made someone record that for him, srsly. Maybe in The Yearning by Unknown Error? Aaah, Im so confused, how exacly is it done? A VST instrument? Because I have been looking for some of those.. At the end of the day, all I want it a female voice, which I can use to make a melody (Example). When I just have a sample, and make a melody with it in P-Roll, all it does it pitching/slowing it down. So I would apreciate some help on this.

You can make them yourself too if you learn some synthesis design (hint hint) But they won't sound anywhere near as nice as live samples I know I'm not exactly saying much but you should have a wee gander on youtube too and see if you can find any nice videos for pad design.

The sound is something between aah and ooh. Doesn't offer other vowels, though if you go through the octaves, it changes between male and female choir. Try it, I think it was a free plugin. __ Thinking about becoming an Image-Line/FL Studio customer? Want a 10% reduction in price?

Add chorus and reverb, bounce, reprocess, repeat this several times and you have a choir. __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 04-12-2009 13:48 jeffijoe xSky Registration Date: 15-06-2009 Posts: 241 quote: Originally posted by BattleDrone Record your own voice doing some Aaaaaah or Oooooh, Use antares autotune to correct bad singing.

My mic loves to record background noises, I dont think that will work out Try turning down the record input volume in your audio settings or whatever program you record with. Also some soundcards like my shitty internal one seems to have noise reduction as well as some other options. Anyway a bit of background noise won't really matter as when you add vocals or anything to a track you usually don't hear the the static or whatever it is in the background. Sound seems to change dramatically when you start adding stuff together. __ 04-12-2009 15:45 BattleDrone 2161... the future.

That can be EQ'd out of the sample usually. When I make samples of myself saying stuff I can low pass the sample and lose the hiss from my computer fan without affecting the words at all - after processing it doesn't even sound the same anyways. However if you're singing higher up towards the frequency range your fan is occupying (my voice is pretty deep anyhow) it might call for some surgical EQing to get things right. Its better just to get the real thing imo. 04-12-2009 21:59 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Production questions & answers » Choir.. I don't get it? o.o
