That's because I'm an idiot who expects the orchestral stuff to layer itself.

Would be nice.

That song I showed you, "Rapture", turned out pretty awesome, though. Sometimes I'm lucky.

It was pretty repetitive though. I definitely need a new choir thing so I can get them to actually 'say' something.

Indeed, as am I sometimes.

The only software I've seen that lets you program words or sounds into a choir library is EWQL Symphonic Choirs, which is approximately 40 GB, insanely hard to use, and ridiculously demanding on system resources (to the point where you shouldn't expect to be able to have anything in your project other than the WordBuilder choir setup).

Shite.

That makes RV sad.

What do you think is the next best thing?

FL already does that

I meant 'next best thing' as in choir which is better than EWQLSO's...

Well, I would have to say Colossus, but it's likely not what you're looking for... it's 32 GB and it comes with a whole bunch of stuff that's not choir. (See here for the full list.) It does, however, come with both male and female annunciations of almost all vowel sounds, and it's how I do everything choir-related these days.

I like the box art :D

I'm going to save for a new computer soon, new one will have a hard drive with more than 32mb of space!

It's a great set of sounds. EWQLSO Gold covers all my stronger orchestral needs, while Colossus covers literally everything else that I don't synthesize myself.

Ah, yes, I forgot you were still running Windows 3.11.

Can't wait to upgrade to Windows 95. Have you seen that Doom game? wow.

For seriously.

I've just listened to those Colossus demo songs.

Seems like it can do some pretty leet stuff.

EDIT: 'Ascension' is teh shit lol

The demo songs kick ass. Although they make me sad because I don't have anywhere near that level of skill, even with the same software.

I at least can find consolation of not having the software. :D

Don't worry though, the guy who composed that probably has a few times our entire combined experience put together.

How do you put together combined experience? Doesn't it, by definition, come out of the box already put together?

Don't question my grammar.

There will be consequences.

Consequences of which variety?

The not very nice variety.
