The Gothenburg Reed Organ consists of new samples – of every single register of the organ. This means extended
possibilities to create the voice character you’re looking for.

Posted by Scott R. Garrigus
Toontrack released Lead Vocals EZmix pack, a new expansion for EZmix 2. Regardless of genre, vocal style or preference, the single most identifiable ingredient in a mix is the lead vocals.
