Tutorial 6: Quick Tips on Symphonic Choirs: Portamento

[Pietro]

Hello everyone,

As promissed some time ago - I've uploaded a new tutorial.

This time, I will show you how to do nice legato with solo soprano from EWQLSC, like this:
Solo Soprano
(http://www.piotrmusial.com/tutorials/tut6_example1.ogg) (just a quick sketch made in 10 minutes)

And use the same techniques on full SATB to change this:
SATB Before (http://www.piotrmusial.com/tutorials/tut6_example2_before.ogg)
into this:
SATB After (http://www.piotrmusial.com/tutorials/tut6_example2_after.ogg)
(it's exactly the same midi sequence played first with original patches, then with tweaked patches, the second take also has some hall reverb on it)

Here's the link. It's number 6:

I wanted to check out these choir examples but I am on a Mac with Safari. When I click on the example Safari automatically downloads an .oog file which I can't seem to open. What type of file is this? Any Mac solution for this? I wish the example was a mp3 like on the Sips page so I can hear the effect of the script. The tutorial itself is however very well explained.

thanks Craig

For anyone having troubles opening OGG files, here's the same in mp3 format:

SATB After (http://www.piotrmusial.com/tutorials/tut6_example2_after.mp3)

Have a great weekend everyone :).

Thanks once again Pietro, for another remarkable Tutorial! This one (No. 6) is reason alone to get Choirs - for those, myself included, who haven't done so yet. Your Tutorials are the best sales and promotion tools a company like EW/QL could have. They should fund all your upcoming Video Tutorials, and send you anything you want, anytime, from their product line. Regards.

[Pietro]

Thanks for all your feedback :).

Don't be shy to post your legato Choirs experiments as well.

Pietro,

Great work on your generous demo tutorial work! Glad to see your site is up and running again! Those here utilizing your demos have no idea how lucky they are. :)

Let's hear some examples from those taking the tutorials.

[Chrispire]

I had no idea this was possible! Fantastic!

Great post guys...I am now starting to implement SIPS into my work...it's a very good tool to add to composing music.;)

[Truman]

Just to be sure I understand correctly : this is only possible with Kontakt 2+ and not with the PLAY version ?

[rinascoca]

What about the mix in the new track with its instrumental and then go from the instrumental to the regular track technique?
