Capturing magic

To ensure that Augmented VOICES’ delivers the exhilarating sounds you’re after, it first needs high-quality samples.

Over 80 hours of arranging, recording, and editing were overseen by leading sound designers, responsible for some of the greatest major-label vocal sounds in contemporary music (Universal Music, EMI, Warner Music, Sony BMG). The sessions took place in specialized studios in Hannover, Germany, using world-class mics and studio equipment from the likes of Neumann, Microtech Gefell, and Heritage Audio.

Featuring 21 male articulations and 30 female articulations, this focused library channels the true emotive power of the human voice, lifelike and stirring, and yours to manipulate.
