    Latin phrases.  ugh.
     
    I'm sure it's a great library.  demos sound nice.
     
    I am just tired of old school Latin phrasing choir sample libraries.
     
    how am I going to do a Rolling Stones cover song if I can't get a choir to sing "can't always get what you want"

    Larry - EastWest choir?!  uh, I don't buy from them.
     
    bapu - been thinking about getting Blue, I like Realitivox and Mike's products, just not sure it's a library for me something always sounds off to me and it throws me from buying it, dunno what it is.

    I have Olympus elements and the Soprano. I think the deal with the Latin is the phrases remain reasonably abstract an they can stand more reuse than English phrases might. Unless there is a word builder there is quite a limited number of phrases.

    I still find the phrases a lot less useful than the sustains etc.

    I am always afraid that a vocal not in English in my music will be some rude or silly saying in another language.
     
    Latin phrase saying turns out to be "the lord sucks and is huge"
    a Bollywood phrase turns out to be "buy me a goat and I'll feed you for life"
    or Gallic phrase turns out to be "if you mow that hill then you are dim and silly"
     
    how the hell do I know what they are saying - I don't speak those languages.
