Vocal Foundry Urban Dance & Pop Vocal sample library 1 Attachment(s) Background In the modern world of music every day sees the rise of a new bedroom producer or DJ, crafting tunes they want to hear and some garnering massive success from it. The single most sought after thing by these guys would have to be good quality vocals and this is where Vocal Foundry from Time & Space comes in. I often conduct remixes for competitions and for fun and when remixing, I am always on the look out for new exciting vocal snippets I can steal and sample for my own music. Finding top royalty free vocals samples is an absolute nightmare, unless you have some very good contacts or you can actually sing. Personally I sound like a mole being run over by a lawn mower, so other peoples vocal samples will do me perfectly! The Product The new Vocal Foundry sample library DVD has everything to offer the budding music maker. The samples cover dance, pop, r’n’b and urban genres. The DVD has over 2.5gb of brand new, royalty free vocal samples for you to play with. Each sample is recorded at 24bit providing a very clean sound, essential when working with vocal stuff. Vocal Foundry is made by the same producers as the sample library; Vocal Forge which was a very successful vocal sample disc. They offer a more diverse approach to this sample pack, covering different genres and providing a greater quality. Key Features:
Setting up Being a Mac user, software is an absolute doddle to install. None of this Windows XP/Vista, wishy washy, stall my computer at every opportunity malarkey. Simply insert the disc, then depending on what format you are using (I used ESX24 running with Logic Pro 8) :
Other formats available: Acid™WAV Kontakt EXS24 HALion Reason NN-XT Similar instructions for these other formats are given on the DVD. A separate folder included on the DVD, aptly named ‘Samples’, includes all the relevant samples as raw files. This means that even if you have none of the above software readily, available you can still use the samples in their original state! Usage The process of actually using the samples for your material is very straightforward. I had a few tracks I had previously been working on and decided to try out what Vocal Foundry had to offer. By simply opening the plug-in, finding your setting (for the sample track I used ‘Right Back 80bpm’) and simply play along with a midi keyboard to the track. The tempo adjusts itself, the tuning obviously follows suit with the notes you are playing, it honestly couldn’t get any easier than this. Within a few minutes you can structure a full vocal song with harmonies and everything. There are left and right vocal harmonies provided, choruses and verses. The vocalists are very talented, all of the melodies are brilliant and most importantly well produced. The Bottom Line The Vocal Foundry sample package is definitely worth the money, the samples are excellent and there is so many creative possibilities to keep you entertained for hours on end. Plus, as previous mentioned this becomes a lifesaver as it fills the biggest gap for producers and remixers which is good quality, royalty free, vocal samples for their tracks. Any budding producer or remixers music will benefit 5 fold from the purchase of this little gem. Pros:
