OT: Vocal sample collections

OT: Vocal sample collections

2003-07-28 by zerocrossing2001

Hey,

I'm thinking of starting to use samples in conjunction with the XL-7.  As I can get all 
the beats and synths I need from ROM cards, I'm wondering if anyone here has 
experience with using vocal sample libraries.  I'm interested in world vocals.  I see 
that Spectrasonics has a great collection, but at $400 it is way too spendy for me at 
this point and I'd probably not use most of the jazz stuff on it anyway.  Any ideas of 
where one can find good sample collections?  I'd love to be able to buy them ala cart 
on line as 16 bit (or better) .wav or .aif files.

Looking on ebay I notice that 99% of the sample collections seem to be drum loops 
and a lot of the vocals are screaming divas, both of which I'm not interested in.  I did 
get a "darkest india" collection from Zero-G that's more of what I'm looking for, but 
I'm hoping for more African, arabic and other stuff.

Thanks,

Mark
