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

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).

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.

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.

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.
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.
