Plugin for multiplying voices into a choir

Post by Excds »

Does anyone know of either a technique to use which might accomplish this or a plugin which works for Linux?

Something like this is what I'm looking for...

Ever noticed something?
Unix comes with compilers.
Windows comes with solitaire.

In Ardour you can copy audio to a new track, then under the right click options when you click the clip, you can transpose either by octaves or semitones for harmonies or a small amount ('cents') for doubling.

You can either slightly move the audio clip or use any number of delay plug ins for further separation. The CMT LADSPA plugins have a number of delay lines, I use the one with a maximum delay of 1 second.

Hope this helps

That would work, but it would be a lot of work... I was hoping that there was a plugin in which you could sit and tweak a lot of parameters until you got it right... Oh well.

I can remember the 'clone-essemble-vst' form my windows days. Never seen such a plugin in linux :-(

I would use overdubbing even if there was a good plugin. For my ears no plugin will sound all natural

Sure, you are right. It was more or less a toy. Or maybe if you put the "choir" very in the background, you wouldn't notice the difference.
