McIntosh and Charles, developers of the hugely successful Black II Black CDs, are back with a vengeance with a massive library of vocal samples that were originally released as three double CD sets. In all the collection includes over 1200 specially recorded vocals performed by 9 top UK session singers, both male and female. Including:
Vocal Hooks - Ad-Libs - Vocal Fills - Screamers - Percussive Vocal Lines - Dance & DJ Vocals - Vocal Drums - Ragga Vocals - Slow Soulful Vocals - And much more.
The vocalists featured have appeared on countless hit records including well-known dance hits by the KLF, E17 and Bomb The Bass.
All samples (with the exception of the Vocal Drums) are subject to licence prior to use on any commercial projects. A CD like this has so much potential we decided we had to do this to protect the singers featured and singers in general but made sure we gave purchasers a really high quality, huge resource that more than compensates for this. Non-commercial use is of course no problem. All licensing will be carried out by AMG - we can make preset terms for users who need instant approval (like jingle producers) too. Anyone making a hit record that features one of our vocals as a hook should not expect to have got it for a few dollars - that's not unreasonable. Please try and contact AMG for permission well before your deadline so we can agree usage terms well in advance.
Credits McIntosh & Charles are founders of successful UK soul band the Cool Notes. Their sample CDs, Black II Black Volumes 1, 2, 3, 4 are amongst the most successful ever released.
More info on the Producer Steve & Joe are veterans of the UK soul scene. The Cool Notes achieved chart successes during the eighties. They signed for PWL but the plan to 'sell soul back to the Americans' never came to fruition. They have however taken time out to produce and remix for the new breed of UK dance acts.
Review Highlights
"The vocalists have great tone, and they sound like they mean it...The phrases were recorded dry, so you can add your own thing to the mix - an indication that the package is for serious producers...This wonderful material isn't just for hip-hop; it could be a secret weapon in almost any dance or ambient mix...Overall, Killer Vocals is serious stuff. You want it? Grab it." - Keyboard USA.
NB: Vocals are incredibly difficult to REX in some cases. We’ve tried to REX everything feasible. Some of the more melodic ones are sometimes a bit ‘glitchy’ so we’ve included everything in WAV asa bonus so if you wish to use a particular REX file this applies to you can use alternative methods to process the file yourself.
Please note the extra Killer Vocals licence! Basically these vocals are not for commercial use without additional licensing. This will require additional payments normally, it is entirely based on the samples and how they are to be used. You will be credited with the cost of your initial order.
