MehranB Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 East west symphonic choirs is the best choir sample library! But it is a huge library about 50 gb, it's used more for professional scores or classical operas, if want something less pro cine samples voxos or requiem pro is the best choice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Composer214 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) There is what was Tonehammer - I think now some the choirs are under the brand SoundIron, and some under 8dio. There's Requiem, which is epic chants, legato sustains, and classic soloists. Soundiron only have the Kontakt hosted light version. They also have the somewhat creepy Mars male chanting choir. 8dio have Requiem pro containing masses more patches. They also have the Liberis angelic choir. Vienna Symphonic Libraries have a few choirs which can come in bundle - Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass. The sustained 'ah' and 'ooh' legato is very nice, and the software host id very nice and easy to use. Very easy to switch between the many articulations. The stacatto chants are not the best, but the other articulations more than make up for that. Then there's Cinesamples' Voxos choir. It comes with a phrasebuilder like Requiem, but is a bit pricier I think. I currently use Vienna Soprano Choir, Requiem Light, and EWQL Colossus' Male Choir for some of the deeper male atmospherics and shouts. Here's something I did using exclusively the Requiem Lite presets: http://soundcloud.com/jamasia/o-fortuna Edited February 5, 2012 by Composer214 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Simmons Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I think it kind of depends on what you want. Requiem Pro and the lot from 8dio/SoundIron is impressive for aggressive type choir sounds. Symphonic Choirs is for wordbuilding, but doesn't sound as aggressive as Requiem or even Voices of the Apocalypse. I wasn't too fond of Voxos.

angelav13 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Try Tonehammer's Liberis or Requiem Pro. Or Spectrasonics. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wandering genie Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I have a friend who works professionally with Voxos, and what I heard sounds great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken320 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 If you want oohs and ahhs there are probably many that will do. I have a little experience with only one: Eastwest. It knows 100,000 English words, has it own phonetic language and is extremely configurable with regard to shaping every aspect of a word, i.e., length and volume of vowels and consonants. It's all broken down in an editing window as you type the words in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wartio Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I had a pleasure of writing a demo a while back for a new choir library by Strezov Sampling. You could check it out. http://www.strezov-sampling.com/products/view/STORM-CHOIR.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
