Where do I find choir samples that sound like this?

This is just an example of what I'm referring to. At the beginning and then in the background you can hear the choirs, I am NOT talking about the live choirs that sing the words. Again, at the very end you hear these ethereal sounding voices. I have EWQL choirs but they're nothing close to that (different purposes, I know).

Edit: Perhaps this is a better example

At 1:45, those same kinds of choirs come in.

It just sounds like ooh and aah samples at low velocities processed to sound far away. I'd be very surprised if EWQL Choirs can't achieve that sound. (I have EWQL Choirs, too. If you want, I can see if I can recreate the sound with it.)

[Ravich]

That would be awesome. I just hear the vibrato of EWQL choir samples so prominently that I assumed it couldnt be done. What kind of effects would be used to make them sound far away?

Vibrato tends to appear mostly in the higher velocities, additionally, boys choir has no vibrato, and mmm and oooh samples can blend nicely together with no vibrato.

Thanks for the tips. Turns out vibrato varies with the mod wheel, and every time I load a new instrument in PLAY, it resets the modwheel to maxed out, so I have to jiggle it. That helped a lot though.

Only problem is that layering multiple patches with surround and stage mic positions is too rough on my system. I think it's because the samples are on a 7200RPM drive instead of a SSD since I'm getting clicks and pops. But yeah, I definitely see how it's possible now. Thanks.

Or it could be because you're lacking enough RAM.

[Ravich]

I dont think that's it, though I could be wrong. Play says I am using 1153 MB RAM for this entire project, and I have 6GB on this computer.

What about your CPU monitor?

[Moseph]

Having you tried increasing the latency?

[Ravich]

Havent tried increasing latency, so I'll look into that. My CPU monitor does fine for sure.

The surround mics have a rediculously long release tail, do each mic individually, mix them in post.

Use the closest mic for writing.
