shot up! man! just play the damn sound! holy shit! you old p

[@zzzut]

Great presentation. You went straight to the point. No tedious introduction and no irrelevant comments. More tutorials should be like this.

[@kennethjackson4858]

Very good sounding! I have no choir library, but there are so many from different choir libraries. This one sounds like a winner!

[@Kifon]

this sounds so good, gonna have to save up! thanks for the showcase! 👍

[@proteusmymphotography3358]

Once I listened to "O Magnum Mysterium" on their website I was immediately SOLD! I know this score very well, performed by many choirs around the world, and Fluffy has this down to the pintac accuracy. Beautiful. Expensive, yes. But this is a must have for vocal classical cathedral comps. Thank you, Mike.

[@mikaelbaggstrom]

I agree. For the classical choir sound, I have not found any other software instrument coming near this in quality and accuracy.

[@royalesamurai3337]

This was an amazing video. I am definitely going to check this out. You have my subscription.

[@NicoSeven7]

Very interesting and useful software, thank you for sharing it. But I was wondering, Is there only two "types" of voices (timbre musical) or there are more options? Thanks.

[@andreashellas7442]

Hi Mikael. Have you a solution, to play chords in Dominus Choir Pro with two hands and change the syllables while live playing? I thought maybe with the foot controller, but it only understand on and off commands not like keyswitches. Thanks for your reply, Andy

[@apsolution]

Nice demonstration. I looking for something like "the text to speech" choir pack (with all letters from the alphabet). Is it possible to do that with Domus?

[@truthseeker630]

Hi, great video / Tutorial. Can this Dominus Choir Pro be used in Cubase?

[@AllanGildea]

Great stuff Mike, thanks.

[@mikaelbaggstrom]

Thanks Allan, vocals are really hard to do in software and plugins to sound authentic, but they did a great job in my opinion! =) Sincerely, Mike

[@Renaxelo]

Hi Mikael, I wonder how your dominus can sound louder by the default setting. Because mine is quieter, even though it's in a marcatto patch. I hope you understand about my question. Thank you in advance.

[@confuzen-su4oq]

Am wondering this too, the legato patch i cant even hear without at least +12 db gain on it

[@CaptJackAubreyOfTheRoyalNavy]

It would be nice to have individual SATB sections for a choir of this price. Soniccouture's All Saints Choir has this, but nowhere near the feature set of Dominus and only vowels. Does Dominus have any sort of divisi feature to thin out the number of voices?

[@gubzs]

This is obscenely expensive. It sounds great, but not $550 great. East West's Hollywood choirs is just as good, if not better, and it's on sale for like half this price right now.

[@emanu1674]

The wordmaker in EWQL Choirs is crap my friend, don't bother with it

[@DadoSimicStudiostriver]

@@emanu1674 No way its state of an art library and wordbuilder no one implemented so far. Its quite obvious if you work hard on programing results can be great.

[@alan.reyesb]

[@MichaelMcCabeGuitarist]

Awesome!

[@francissreckofabian01]

I like the phrase builder. Maybe I should reconsider my usual approach to recording my voice 40 times and pitch shifting my voice for the female parts. Tedious and unmusical (my real voice isn't so good).😋

[@mikaelbaggstrom]

Haha, yea recording choir parts yourself is tedious indeed! 😄

Super Choir Library, super review!

[@BsCurious]

Hi. This might sound stupid but I'm new to all the stuff. Used to be a drummer but epilepsy has destroyed that. Lots of time at home. Now playing keyboard/piano. I am constantly searching online for help as I get confused and my memory not so good. I have FL Studio. I am aware of VST. I have downloaded free plugins. I was thinking of purchasing this and because this is all new I need help very quickly. This has to be used through Kontakt but can I then use this on FL studio? Also what's your opinion on BBC symphony Orchestra. I like the look and sounds. Would you recommend this? To whoever responds to help a man in need.

[@mikaelbaggstrom]

Hello Craig, I am not familiar with FL studio myself, but I am pretty sure you can use any VST plug-in including Kontakt inside it. Yes the BBC Symphony orchestra is amazing, I don’t have it myself yet though. PS. Please Join me in the Community I created for composers like yourself. Connect with fellow composers, learn and share tips & tricks, ask questions etc. Join here: forum.professionalcomposers.com Sincerely, Mikael “Mike” Baggström

[@sbguitarist]

I play in a metal band and have been researching which choir plugin would be best suited to enhance this style music. I'm not having much luck narrowing down which to purchase as reviews are all over the place. Cost isn't an issue. Any recommendations?

[@mikaelbaggstrom]

Power metal I assume? I would say something that really goes down deep into the low bass register...Dominus Choir Pro as I show in this video is my favorite for "classical choir sound". But in your case, I think StormChoir by Strezov Sample, the new "Ultimate" version would suit you better. I made a video review on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHeQpKeQbbaZhKc Sincerely Mike

[@chrisrdgymnastics]

What's the difference between dominus choir pro and regular (i think) dominus choir? Please help

[@magicmulder]

IIRC Pro has more articulations (like marcato) and an English word builder in addition to the Latin one.

[@conforzo]

[@LuisHumanoide]

I need it !

[@mikaelbaggstrom]

Haha, yes Luis you would love this choir for your music. 😃 Sincerely Mike

[@runespoon001]

If wanting to use this to make chior score demos, how easy is the word builder to work with when trying to enter the text for an entire work? It seems to me like it may get kinda annoying have to build each word, then having to play along with the completed score to get the timing for switching to the next word. Is there perhaps a way for it to automatically switch to the next word in the word list, without having to use midi cc? Only word builder I have experiance with is the east west one, and it is so annoying I can feel what is left of my soul dying working with it

[@ryevick]

I really wish you would do a video giving your top 3 to 5 (in order) full orchestral library plugin recommendations and the pros and cons to each. BEFORE BLACK FRIDAY! You obviously know what is what. I'm looking to purchase my first orchestral plugin and I'd like to know I'm getting one that's going to have all of the orchestral instruments with their articulations, pedal & mod supports, etc If you do a search for best list your not sure if you can trust the list and/or the reviews you see. The recommendations are all over the map. The only one I feel good about getting is a supplemental library: Spitfire Solo Strings.

[@BrickfallOfficial]

[@niklas3686]

3:13 aint that a little manipulative with going a chord up every time 😂😂 but it really seems like a good nice Plugin!

[@JustChillingOut]

⚠️ THESE ARE NOT VIRTUAL CHOIRS. These a sound files. That’s why we always here phrases in all choir samples. This is not genuine choir software. Just lots of choir audio files. It sounds realistic because it’s a real recording of a choir that was sampled. The software sounds great at first but in the end it’s actually a real joke. I don’t want words and phrases in every single choir patch I use that’s simply nuts. I have lots of high-quality choir patches with no phrasing or words.
