Hi DJs, Im looking for advice on royalty free vocal sample packs for a new production of mine. They must be of professional quality, not dodgy 'one-hit wonder samples'. Im looking really for female vocal packs where the singer sings full lines in key etc.

Ive already looked at Zero-G Vocal XTC and I own Zero-G Vocal Forge VST (Which is shit unless you produce hip hop imo. and even at that it sounds cheesy) so any other options? And anyone who has Vocal XTC..is it of any use?

If Vengeance Sounds made vocal packs, they would probably be the best in the world

Cheers in advance guys, your help is much appreciated!

Don't think you'll find anything else but cheesy one hits and ooh/aah/choir sounds. It's kinda logic as it wouldn't make much sense if producers would be using the same vocal lines over and over again.
Btw what is it with people and worshipping vec, it's not some kind of magical tool that makes your music pro.. Sure they are useful but they are certainly not perfect.

Agreed.. And so many of the samples are clearly ripped off (loops ripped from tracks for example).

Or the producers used vec loops?

Hi again guys.. thanks i was already expecting what some of you have said about vocal packs.. They are all shit basically, But nobody knows everything so I thought I might aswell ask incase I have missed out on some amazing vocal pack out there.

To the guy who said about VEC; I dont worship it and it would be foolish for anyone to think sample CDs are going to make their production the next club anthem of the year!?.

I only use it for the kick drums and sound effects. Most pro producers sound fx are samples and not home brewed (lasers, uplifters, swoosh etc.) cmon its obvious. The amount of samples ive heard exactly the same in all my years of listening to trance is almost sickening.

I make all my own loops from scratch because the premade percussion loops that come with VEC i find are crap (eventhough I have heard alot of released trance these days with nearly all VEC's sounds). One example is Basic Dawn - Pure Thrust.. listen to the loop and kicks in it.. all taken straight from VEC. Alot of hard trance producers use VEC aswell.

Anyway at the end of the day Im sure most people would agree that if they want a professional sounding sample pack for inspiration, VEC would be a decent choice compared to some cheesy Magix Sound Essentials DVD. The Main CD i use is Vengeance FX.

Listen to VEC2 loops 23 and 24, then listen to Mauro Picotto - Komodo (Claxixx mix)

yeah also from mauro picotto - alchemist (on vec 1 that is), loop 19.
Also the volume differences between the loops makes it so obvious.

It's also obvious when the VEC loop is filtered but in the track it's clean... As if filtering the loop or adding a couple of extra hats or whatever is gonna hide the fact that it's stolen

it may sounds lame, but what are those vec loops?

sry for the hi-jack, but i'm curious, does any zero-g package include vocal samples similar to this one (51 kb yousendit) (full youtube video here)?
i've been thinking about getting something with vocals that you can cut and just fuck up. i'd really like some suggestions too
