Adding synths and artificial instruments?

Post by JudderMan » Sat Oct 30, 2010 11:02 pm

I'm hoping to add a choir synth to a song I've recorded but how would/could I go about doing this? What software should I download (a free one, preferably).

Thanks! Sorry if it's a stupid question.

It's not stupid, but it is a little odd.

You want to add software so you can apply an effect to the Audacity timeline? Like Effect > Chorus-Simulation.

Did I get that? Audacity doesn't support everybody's plugins because some of them are paid licenses. Further, some of them depend on software integration that Audacity just doesn't have.

Can you point to an effect in a song that you like?

Hi Koz.

Basically I'm just looking for a free, online keyboard as it were (one that has choir synths). It doesn't have to be related to the Audacity software or anything. I'd then hopefully record a tune with it, save as a WAV and then add it to my song I've uploaded onto Audacity and merge them together. Do you know of anything that fits this description?

Sorry for not explaining properly. Thanks!

Hi again. I just found one called 'Electonic Piano 2.5.' :D
