Best Choir VST for Logic Pro X?

I was thinking about buying Logic Pro X but not sure how the instruments and sound libraries differ from the latest Garageband... I see the layout is somewhat similar so moving from Garageband to Logic seems like a good move? But, I'm interested to know if anyone out there has Logic Pro X and knows if a good Choir VST exists for it?


I've come across the following "Liberis Epic Childrens Choir" which sounds awesome, but it seems it only works using a retail version of Kontact?


Any help on this would be great! Thanks in advance for reading!

First of all,


Logic Pro doesn't use VSTs.... That is the a different sort of plugin type used by Cubase for example...


Logic Pro uses AudioUnits (AU) Plugins and Logic Pro X only uses 64bit AU Plugins...


Okay.. so with that out the way....


In my opinion, the best Choir type sounds are found via Kontakt Libraries (along with many other high quality types of sounds) so the investment in the full version of the Kontakt 5 AU plugin is well worth the expense if you really want high quality sounds available to you in the future...


Depending on the type of Choir sounds you are seeking.... as you mentioned 8Dio's Liberis ECC is very good... but the following links may give you some idea of the many alternatives out there...

...and finally a personal favorite of mine... It's one of the older sets and is much more useful for Choir "pad" type sounds but the quality is still right up there, at the very top.. for such uses...

While SOV isn't specifically for Kontakt, it's available in Akai format which can be imported and used by both Kontakt and Logic Pro's own EXS 24 Sampler....

Sorry to reopen the old thread, but regarding 'Symphony of Voices' https://www.spectrasonics.net/products/legacy/symphonyofvoices.php


I'm dying to know whether this actually supports 64 bit in Logic Pro X, I can't find on their website that it does and it says that many of their products only work with Logic Pro 9. Have you tried this on Pro X?


Many thanks!

The EXS Akai Convert function is only available in 32bit mode, so you cannot do it in LP9 64bit, or in LPX
