01Overview

Voice of Wind: Audrey is the third volume in Soundiron's Voices of Wind series, focused on the mezzo-soprano voice of singer Audrey Howitt. The developer describes her voice as airy and dulcet, blending classical, operatic, folk, blues, pop and mystical styles. The 2.38 GB library provides sustained, staccato and legato vowels, along with a large set of melodic phrases sorted by mood, key and tempo. It runs as a Kontakt instrument, so it fits into a Kontakt-based production setup.

Vocal Articulations and Phrase Library

The library covers six core vowels: Ah, Eh, Ee, Mm, Oh and Oo. Sustain, staccato and true legato articulations are included, with staccato notes using eight round-robin variations per note. The vowels span over two playable octaves.

The melodic phrase collection contains more than a thousand phrases. They are divided into 100 bpm and 140 bpm tempos for both Bright and Dark categories, plus a 120 bpm Hummed category. Tempo-syncing, time-stretching and pitch transposition let you adapt phrases to your project.

Phrases can be shaped, blended and sequenced with phrase-legato, a step sequencer, speed control and live waveform editing.

Effects, Presets and Recording Notes

Twenty sound-designed FX and ambient presets are included. The built-in FX rack offers chorus, compression, distortion, amp and cabinet simulation, EQ, delay and reverb. The reverb unit contains 25 creative convolutions and 45 real-world spaces such as rooms, studios, chambers and cathedrals, with tone, size and mix controls.

Soundiron recorded Audrey in a dry studio using a large-diaphragm Neumann microphone and Sound Devices preamps. The developer states this was done to capture detail and clean dynamic range. Controls are fully automatable, with customizable key switches and a real-time waveform display in every preset.
