Enya

2006-05-26 by leetronhead

My wife listens to Enya alot...and I have wondered about the string 
sounds she uses too.  "Sail" sounds like a Korg Triton to me.  The 
strings come very close to the onboard sounds a Triton can deliver (it 
also could be the Yamaha like you guessed)...no trons.

maybe Martin should approach Enya about making some tron tapes of her 
layered vocals:)

If memory serves, Enya was using a Kurzweil on "The Celts" and Watermark" (her first two albums)... I don't know about her more recent work. Credit should be given to Nicky Ryan (her producer) as well... the sound quality is first rate! As a matter of fact, I like using her CD's as a sound reference to check speaker quality... if "Watermark" sounds as expected, I know most everything else will sound good. If Martin could get Enya to contribute vocals to the Mellotron sound library, that would be great! However...one thing to remember, Martin: Enya's a good Catholic girl... so don't wear a dress when you approach her... i think she would be offended by your sex-change plans for the future.

Enya tapes...? Wonderful !

How about a split set Enya/Kenny G ?

For those special moments...

Just a touch of stereo chorus and a big old digital reverb and you'll be racing up the charts !

Enya - She's the one that has the big cocaine parties and destroys her 
hotel rooms.  Right?

Approximately how many of the instrument sounds on recent Enya
recordings are produced with a sequencer triggering samples?

I think it's ALL sequencer/sampler.  100%.  (with more than just a 
touch of reverb).
