    I'm impressed with these samples, that can be edited with a programs called "word building". Too expensive though, $500 US. http://www.soundsonline.com/cd_mp3_demos/141273.mp3 http://www.soundsonline.com/cd_mp3_demos/141274.mp3

    It sounds very processed. Too much like Cher in "do you beleive". Too mechanical. In some other song, lola sounds like someone who is mentally challenged and can't clearly pronounce some sounds. I think the best sampled vocals are chorals, chanting simple latin words repetitively.

    Are you kidding me? This is what I need!!! I was actually planning to make a soundfont using all the possible vowels and consonents to shape vocal articulations and use them in my songs. This might be better! However, I'll check the price before....
  4. I'm quite sure what Atom's looking for is a stereo enhancer.
  5. With a stereo enhancer? It's a devide that splits , delays, inverts and widens the stereo field. You can get DXi and VSTi versions of that effect. I use it a lot for guitar tracks. It seems to do what you are describing, Atom.
  6. Thanks Doru, I'm already using your sounds for a new song!
  7. The problem is, though increasing in number, how many do have a 5.1 speaker setup, if I am to share those songs? And it does take a little more time for producing too, consequently less for composing and playing...
  8. I just made my first 5.1 channel mix with the program, and let me tell you that it's amazing! For those who, like me, don't have the equipment or expertise to separate instruments through EQing, 5.1 channel panning allows clear distinction of every instuments.
  9. I've tried both Nuendo (version 2) and EMagic Pro-Logic. They have both have an INCREDIBLY high learning curve, BUT... I've found "Cool Edit Pro" version 2 now called "Audition" by Adobe. What is really cool is that you have a surround panner for all 6 channels. Just pan each individual tracks from your final mix and voilà. What's even greater, is that you don't need an AC3 or DTS encoder, WMA version 9 can encode in 5.1!!!
  10. I just acquired Minnetonka's DTS encoder. It's a nice gadget, but I'm confused as to how to mix my music in a user friendly environment in 5.1 before encoding it. It can't humanly be done by splitting stereo tracks in 5 distinct mono channel to encode it (as the encoder requires). Is there another way? I've heard of Nuendo and Elogic, are they any good in mxing in surround or 5.1?
  11. Rod, I have tried the new version of Fruity Loops (Fl Studio) amazing program. Everything's there for recording quality tracks. But it more of a program for someone who doesn't play live, although it allows for that. For the tweaker and step recording artist for sure!
  12. The rosace (hole) of the guitar is where the sound is let out. Placing the microphone there is common sense. Argumentation against that is relative. Then you have the possibility of placing a second microphone to capture the whole frequency range and modulations. Obviously, when someone hears you playing, he/she does not place his/her ear directly toward the rosace. Therefore a second mic is intended to capture that natural setting. A second mic isn't a requisite. But EQing is, especially when using one mic only.
  13. Thumping and slapping the bass, that's how I like to play it. Mark King is my main influence, and he's really one of the best in that style. Alain Caron of jazz band UZEB is also godly-talented.
  14. How could I forget Canadian artist Don Ross on the acoustic guitar... his finger picking style and virtuosi really influenced me. http://www.gobyfish.com/
  15. There's John Williams, who could never play a note of of beat. And Segovia who made fascinating arrangements as well for the instrument. Jengo, in another style really contributed.
  16. I wish I had a seven-string guitar... and a 6-string bass. And I also wish playing and practicing didn't cramp my hand muscles in the long run. And back muscles.
