As long as we're speaking of brands again, I'd like to throw a recent bad experience.
It seems Chartbuster, Sound Choice, and some other mfrs. did sample packs for VocoPro. They can be recognized by a "VP" in front of the regular disc numbers.
Well, I found some of the SC pack ( VPSC8046 - VPSC8054) for a good price and purchased them. Bad Idea. I don't know if the problem was SC or VocoPro, but most of these versions are pretty bad, except for 54, which is a latin disc. The versions on this disc matched other SC versions, but the other discs seemed inferior to me. I tried switching them with a few of my regulars who sing SC versions and they picked up on it right away- not pleased.
This is only a small sampling of singers plus my own humble opinion, but I would pass if you run into them.
I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with the VocoPro Chartbuster samplers.
Then I would bet that SC did not produce the tracks, they wouldn't purposely re-record versions that sucked if they already had versions out. But I would pass on anything VP anyway - even if they gave me stuff for free to test.
