Help (Choirs)

[BlueSwan]

Hollowcell - I've got a Emu Esi-4000. I don't use it anymore, but I'm reluctant to sell it. For some reason I NEVER part with old gear even though I have plenty that I don't use. Go figure! 8O

Actually, I think the main reason I don't sell old gear is that I have old songs I've done on them that I might want to go back to work on (which rarely happens in reality). I used to record all vocals on the Emu, but naturally changed that when I started using my PC as an audio tool.

Going the soft option though, means you will have to carry around a computer.

A lot depends on if you would like the onboard ROM sounds of something like the Fantom.

By the way, blueswan, what Emu are you running? Depending - want to sell it for cheap? Gotta love those Emu filters!

I have a software sampler, but it only supports wav and aiff. i want something thats gonna be able to utilize the cd and features as it was ment to, not in a hacked format.

I would go with a triton studio. you could get the studio essential pcm for 9 or some gospel choir, peter schz orchestral pcm for all the real acoustic sound for orchestra. Roland has nice choir section too. Emperor (ishahn)band uses roland romplers. If money is not the issue, install the Z1 moss board and it has the dual band pass filters for designing formants. All metal bands uses Triton. Dimmu, cradle, stromlord, nightwish etc. your choice with the triton. peaz
