You can do vocal chops and come up with unique rhythmic patterns, put it through effects like distortion, chorus, or delay and even come up with a completely new harmony part and make a new song out of it.Įven though I have advised against taking the risk and releasing music with copyrighted samples in it, there are ways to process the sample so drastically that it ends up being a sample of your own. Now that you have the isolated vocal that you need, you can use it in various ways. Step 3: Use Your Samples In a Fun And Creative Way Sometimes there isn’t a perfect solution when isolating a vocal, and at times some artifacts of other sounds can remain, but these can always be minimized in a mix. The Extraction and Discrimination tabs include other parameters such as Crossover Bleed and Phase Discrimination that can be adjusted to your liking. There are ways to isolate a vocal even when a whole lot is going on in the background, but if you want to make sure you get the best possible quality, knowing what to look for can really pay off. On the other hand, if you want to use the vocal sample as a lift right before a bass drop, you want to have something pretty clean. For example, if you need a vocal hook that’s going to be played on top of a dense arrangement, you can make it work even with a poor quality sample since it’s going to compete with lots of other sounds anyway. However, your success will depend highly on how you want to use that vocal sample. The ultimate goal is to be able to sample any vocal from any song.
