Matt.
thanks for the info on notion.
i'm checking it out.
thanks for your kindness.

Mario.
thanks for the added links/info. sooo good of you !

some background.
for years ive been doing songs mainly useing bb RT's with little tricks //fx here and there on the RT's. plus useing midi plus the instrument plug ins found in computer music mag that are free.
but its mainly synth plug ins.
my reasoning was not only did i have other obligations , but also i was hoping the orchestra libs would mature; and with competition prices would improve. plus i was concerned that i saw many net threads on forums talking about the computer resource needs of various packages.
thus are these libs very demanding of cpu resources ?

mario what i would REALLY LIKE TO FIND IS A WONDERFULL FEMALE VOCS
PLUG IN VSTi. please let me explain.
if you listen a ways in on andy williams famous hit "cant get used to losing you" in the background is this fabulous female background singer. thats the sort of back up vocs i would love to find.
please give it a listen and tell me (its on you tube) if you know any lib that has that femme character background vocal.

i can do back up males fine; and what i do is a trick by merging my back up vocs with bb RT male vocs sometimes etc etc. but it only takes me so far. cos some of the bb vocs only work in certain tempo ranges etc.
in summary i would love to find individual femme back up singers of the calibre heard on some of the old orchestral/film songs as well as choirs i could build from.
fyi recently i did a "choir" all from scratch on a rock song useing lots of traks in reaps.
it was a ton of work spanning a couple of days.
sounded ok ; BUT i failed to mimic the female vocs of course lol.

this afternoon talking of east/west lib i was listening to their
femme back up singers lib. but i'm sorta this way and that about it.

once again mario. thanks for any help.

best
