EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I'd like to record an EXS24 instrument of my wife's voice.  Never 
actually tried using the sampling features of EXS24 before.

Any tips so that I don't make a bunch of mistakes doing it the wrong 
way?  I have no idea what I'm up against to create a quality 
instrument.  Thanks, Les Caudle

That's the last thing I'D sample - it's too much to have HER talking, much 
less the samplers. I'd be saying, "Yes dear; right dear..." to my 
keyboards.... =)

I agree - talking would be too much. <G>  I actually meant singing 
notes,  an instrument of her singing notes - but I'm not sure of the 
problems I'll encounter.  Regards, Les Caudle

get her to sing say a vowel "oh"' Record every note in her range / tune
each note / put your samples in the exs / loop/ you have your
instrument.

Garth,
              I'm sorry it seems it would pain you to hear your wife's voice through the sampler, but, please, keep the sexist stereotype (women talk too much and nag) to yourself. This list is for helping people with the exs24. You didn't even answer Les' question...Thanks in advance, Dusty

My apologies - I love my wife so much that I can't resist making fun of 
her. Lousy habit.

To record your wife's voice, I assume you mean singing. Either way, though, 
you'll want compression to even out her voice. Since you are sampling, you 
can do plenty of tweaking after the fact. Make sure you get a good level. 
Pop filters are important equipment. Buy a nice stool.

Sure, the EXS is a sampler, but it's just as easy to sample and use a 
capable editor (Peak, Spark, SoundForge, CoolEdit, Microsoft Office) to 
import .wav/.AIFF files. Are you wanting an authentic performance/sound, or 
are you wanting to grunge your wife up and use it for punk/industrial? You 
can either make a single sample in your editor, or you can start importing 
one or more .wav files and make a wife.exs instrument - you can use layers, 
pitch shifting, and looping - and perhaps you can make it performance 
oriented by making some velocity splits. Or even add her voice to a nice 
vocal sample.

Actually, I didn't have much to say in the first place. Never mind. 
Sampling is just classic, old fashioned recording - read up the good 
magazines: Home Recording, EQ, Recording, Electronic Musician, Better Homes 
and Gardens, Nagging Wife News... oh, oops.
