One of those No brainer purchases, but not just because of the $50 sale cost, but because I don't exactly know what I was thinking when I bought this. crazy

Celtic, Fantasy, Medieval and Emotional solo vocals for Kontakt
ETHERA Gold Atlantis represents an exciting development on the vocal library concept. Ethera Gold Atlantis is a tool for creating soundtracks, cinematic music, epic music trailers and any music requiring fantastic solo vocals.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hey Dan, have you checked out Realivox Blue? It has pretty female vocals with a word/phrase builder that looks pretty hard to use with medium results but the vowel sounds are awesome (ooos and ahhhs, etc.!) And it is on sale for $100. Now that I have EZDrummer I need to buy something else!!

Ya, there are a number of "vocal" VI's available, and I am sure many of them are very impressive. But as you well know, we have to resist those impulse buys. When I see something I really like, I add it to the list. I don't buy any music stuff unless it first goes on the list. That starts the vetting process, "do I need it" or "do I want it"? "is the current price the best price"? "will I be able to make music with this"? I just bought Chorus for $379 at the upper end of my budget. That went throught the full process which took weeks. I bought it on the last day of the sale. I used it in the "Air in the World" track. Spirfire Appassionata was another recent buy at $179. I used that in this track also.

I currently have two more buys sitting on my list. Both on sale now. But at this time, between AI Chorus and Ethera Atlantis, there are no more backing vocal VI's on my list.

I was wondering if maybe you knew something about it. I'll prolly grab it at $99.

I picked up both of these several months ago and I could not be more happy. No regret at all. AI Chorus was pricy but so much fun and easy to find a place in my music. If you have always wanted a top notch Choir, and have a big budget, AI chorus is highly recommended.
Ethera Atlantis was actually the bigger surprize. At a fraction of the cost of AI chorus, it is simply beautiful. I have used this in some of my music also. And now have my eye of a soon to release Atlantis 2.0 for early next month.

But if you have any interest in this type of vocal backing VSTs, you may want to look at Ethera 2.0. Same guy how gave us Atlantis. This is an older product but is being closed out and on sale now for $12.95. It needs fully Kontakt. That price is a no brainer for me.

Speaking of the Ethera family, there's and EOL (end-of-life) announcement ($13). . .

https://vi-control.net/community/threads/ethera-2-0-is-going-for-good.129901/#post-5181372

. . . and a bargain bundle offer (~$40):

https://vstbuzz.com/deals/78-off-ethera-bundle-by-zero-g/

For Kontakt Full/Retail (not the free Player). Between StefanoM's Ethera and Elements series of libraries, not to mention the free additional snapshots/patches he supplies on his website, there's a lot of sonic territory well covered.

I know a couple of us (if you include me), follow Stefano Maccarelli,the ETHERA developer. So the two of us already know what is coming next. But for the rest of you, there is a ATLANTIS 2.0 due to launch soon. Stefano has been sharing builds. Here is his 3rd preview of whats to come.



This is Hybrid software meaning it combines vocal audio patches/loops as well as conventional VI vocal sounds. It can be fun and easy to find a place in your music for some of this.


Opps, cry I just looked back in this tread and find I already mentioned this. Please excuse me. I must be getting old and forgetful. But the video was just released minutes ago.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
