The best choir sample cd's in my opinion are :

Symphony of Voices by Spectrasonics ( http://www.spectrasonics.net/librar...phonyvoices.php )
Voices of The Apocalypse by Quantum Leap ( http://www.soundsonline.com/sophtml...ml?sku=QLVOTAGS )

Those feature real choirs, excellently sampled. Just check out the sites, they have demos.

You COMPLETELY win. <3]

Can these be gotten in .wav format?

emm you might find a few of them man
hypersonic and sonik synth 2 are great for those kinda sounds though.

Eh? I'm 99% sure that Symphony of Voices is not just plain old .wav loops. It's an AKAI-format CD afterall, which surely just means loading it into a sampler (such as Kontakt) and playing it like any other instrument?

Someone please confirm this

Nop, they are not, unless you downloaded one of the (illegal) converted versions.

Symphony of Voices is an AKAI cd, so it's made to be loaded into a sampler.
Voices of the Apocalypse can be bought either in AKAI or Gigasampler format.

They are exactly that, long held notes, for different vowels and all, with separate samples for releases.
Of course, there are loops included, for some more complicated variations (dedicated spoken words).

With the official cd's, you either need a compatible sampler, or a conversion program (like CDXtract) to convert them to waves (but then again, you lose the envelope and sustain info...).

And yes, I own the official cd's. They are used once and a while to provide choirs in film scores I work on (well, it's not me that programs them, but hey, I got them )
