What's new

Introducing: Space Age Voices!

Bought.
Wonderful as every library you did, Jared.

Now I‘m dreaming of a smooth Bossa Nova style Vocal FollowUp.
Maybe with some simple syllables & builder?
Anyway, I'm excited to see what you have on offer next time.
I can repeat the first part of the post: Bought, and a wonderful library again!

I'll object to the second part, because I'd rather see strings, brass and woodwinds additions to the Space Age Orchestra family first :)

@Marsen: I've had good results for smooth vocals with Synthesizer V for Bossa-style vocals in combination with Space Age Rhythm and Space Age Pop, actually.

Great to hear. Which vocals worked best for you?
And also: In english or portuguese too?

(Sorry, don’t want to derail the thread any further.)
+1 for more woods, brass, strings for SAO
 
I've used Saki for this with very high settings for softness and airiness. Language was Japanese... Although I know from other projects that Saki does fine in English, too. I don't think there is a Portuguese dictionary yet.
 
Would it be possible to reveal the name of the wonderful singer in this library?

Seems in this day and age it feels more and more urgent to know the real singer, to distinguish it from all of the AI generated "voices" and give it a little extra "street credibility". After the AI "invasion", using samples suddenly feels so much more authentic.

Speaking of AI- generated voices....I just did a quick test pairing this with Solaris (SynthV) for some random bap-bap- vocal lines for a song I'm working and I was completely blown away for the possibilities.

Hi there,

At the performers request, I’m going to keep their identity confidential. However I can give you a hint. There are three singers. Two of them are known (in part) for their association with the Steely Dan/Donald Fagen musical orbit and one of them for collaborations with Snarky Puppy and Charlie Hunter (among others).

fab sounding library.
A couple of questions, do you allow license transfers and do you make the raw wav samples available for this and the other instruments?
thanks

Hey there, only Space Age Pop gives you the WAV samples. For that one, every sample is offered in a mapped Kontakt instrument or as a properly labeled one-shot or loop.

The question of license transfers has never come up before. I suppose it could be done for a small fee? I have to think about that one.
 
I’ve been mulling over how best to go about that for some time. I’d love to know any specific requests you guys might have!
A Space Age Orchestra would indeed be a dream coming true! I have every of your products and will most probably get everything you come up with, those instruments are delightful.
As for requests, I'm personally a fan of the sound that was most often heard in easy listening music and in around 60's movies soundtracks, such as in Michel Legrand' Les Demoiselles de Rochefort, several Henry Mancini records or Neal Hefti's Barefoot in the Park.
Even though it'd be wonderful to have every remaining sections (woodwinds, brass / saxes, strings, percussions, etc.) recorded the Authentic Soundware way, I think there are options available already that can sort of get me in the ballpark (with some tweaks here and there), so it's not a pressing necessity. :)
I do feel like, however, that something sorely missing is a harpsichord recorded the way it was in those soundtracks / records. Most (if not every) sampled harpsichord in the market so far seems to aim at a baroque sound, or fitting for a more modern "dramatic" cue, so trying to make them fit in a more vintage easy listening context is painful.







Those would be some examples of the kind of sound I'm referring to!
Anyhow, congrats on the Space Age Voices release and I'm looking forward to whatever you come up with next. :thumbsup:
 
@authentic-soundware

I had this library for two weeks, and I love it. I find it difficult to fake the backing vocals in soul arrangements, and this one gets me closer to what I want to hear. Thank you!

BTW: Work great stacked with OT LA Session Female Choir.
So glad to hear it! I think there’s something about the sound of the figure 8 pattern of the RCA mic (labeled close mic 2) that is great for backing vocals. It’s somehow like a close mic and room mic in one. Present, but not in the foreground the way a large diaphragm condenser is.
