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.

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.
...But at this time, between AI Chorus and Ethera Atlantis, there are no more backing vocal VI's on my list.
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.
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, 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.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
