SPACE AGE VOICES brings you the authentic sound of a mid-century studio vocal ensemble. The library includes 8 nki patches for the full version of Native Instrument’s Kontakt. Features include two vocalise (long vowel performances) patches with two legato modes, sustains, glides, and falls; three short syllable patches with auto repetition mode; a dedicated unpitched ‘ch’ and ‘cha’ patch; and two extra patches of various unpitched exclamations, effects, and spoken words and phrases.
THE RECORDINGS:
We went all out on recording this project as authentically as possible. Working at Manhattan's iconic Sear Sound Studio A, we captured the sound of three elite NYC session singers, using the tools and techniques of the era. A brief list of the coveted classic gear we used includes, original Neumann U67 tube mic, RCA DX77 ribbon mic, Neve 8038 custom console, Fairchild limiter, and Ampex 1/2” tape machine.
Each patch offers 3 microphone positions:
Close mic 1 (Neumann U67)
Close mic 2 (RCA 77)
Stereo room mic (Sear Sound custom setup)

Beautiful sound 👍

[@usedusermoser]

Incredible! Do you have a Spotify playlist of yesteryear songs to listen to and learn the composition style? Thanks 🙏

[@spokansas]

It sounds fantastic! I appreciate the organic sound and keeping it "live" so it keeps the genre's production vibe. This is gonna be very useful!

[@PeterHarket]

Fantastic! This is earmarked for when the next paycheck arrives! I have to say an "mm" vowel patch would be a killer addition, but I guess you can't have everything.

[@authenticsoundware]

Thanks Peter!
FYI, there's an "mm" patch in Swing More by ProjectSAM. I felt I should focus on things that hadn't already been covered well by others. There's a good ooh patch in that library too, but it's more smooth and "choral sounding," so I did choose to do my own "oohs" that achieved the smaller vocal ensemble sound with the vintage tone that I really wanted.

[@MarsenK1]

This is so incredible. Must buy for me.

[@edub9930]

I seriously need to stop watching these demos. I want to buy every last single one of them 😩
