Chopping up vocal samples and rearranging them is one of the best ways to create those interesting vocal textures that you hear everywhere nowadays. In this article, we’re going to share a few ways to chop vocals up and use them in your EDM tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vocal Chops are basically parts of a vocal sample sliced and rearranged as midi to create interesting sequences. These sequences can pair incredibly well with melodies and background synths to inject a lot of feeling or soul into your tracks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you drop the vocal sample in, your slicer will automatically create segments that can now be triggered by playing notes on your (midi) – keyboard. You can also tweak the start and endpoints of the individual slices, or even add a midi gate to add more interesting parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
