Created by Joshua Meltzer: "I created a choir with just my voice. I used Shure KSM32 up close as I wanted it very soft and intimate sounding. I used a Neve 1073 pre, with U.A. 1176. I recorded similarly to how some are recording the piano (using the cycle of fifths) .My range vocally is a LOT less than the piano obviously, so it did not take long! I did this process several times and layered until it sounded close to a choir. The idea was that it would be more a choir pad for a track . It will  NOT be Eric Whitacre’s go to library!! Haha    Besides the main Quiet Choir I also included Swells and one combining both, “The Quiet Choir GRAND” . Start with that one to get the full effect!"

Winter Felt Piano

Created by Joshua Meltzer: "As a composer, one of my niches I specialize in is Americana and Roots music. I play a lot of those kinds of instruments but as far as Virtual Instruments I am always looking for more options. Ahem… Spitfire, how about giving it a go? On this one I blended the Pedal Steel guitar and a Fiddle playing some raw scratchy harmonics. I processed them all using some granular time stretching, reversing and various effects.The Pedal Steel is a long phrase that keeps adding new colors. You can hear it evolve when using in low registers as a single note drone. Hopefully it gives you an organic/rustic option for some pads and textures."
