Funky Techno Vocal Chop Tutorial

Hello everyone! can you recommend a good tutorial on funky vocal chops for techno? also, I'm curious as to where to get vocal samples. Thanks!

Hi Rhale! There are quite a few courses showing vocal chops. One's that come to mind are....

Mod 11 in Producer’s Guide to Vocals https://www.producertech.com/staff-picks/110/producer-s-guide-to-vocals

Mod 10 in House and Techno Groove Production Masterclass (just a single stab though) https://www.producertech.com/staff-picks/84/house-and-techno-groove-production-masterclass

There are also some tips for this in the Complete Guide to Loopcloud, as Loopcloud is really good for making chops. Module 4 Lesson 5 - Designing Vocal Chops https://www.producertech.com/staff-picks/188/complete-guide-to-loopcloud-6

Loopcloud is also an amazing resource for finding vocal samples, so you get a 2 in 1 with that!

Hi Rhale,

I'm a big fan of vocal chops. I find them so inspiring for almost everything when it comes to melodies. One hint where you get most of very good results. One of the best instruments for vocal chops is "Outputs Exhale" which is a Kontakt instrument. If you combine this with some midi player like "Playbeat / Reason Bassline Generator" or even some stock midi-plugins to just randomly trigger those vocal chops in Outputs Exhale, than you can get very interessting results which can directly be used to fit into your song. It almost always fits after playing around for 1-60 minutes. At least this is my experience and it's a lot of fun.

Kind Regards
Paddy

Loopmasters are pretty much industry standard for good quality samples, much better than splice etc in my opinion! also samplign straight off records is always a fun way to go

Hi @ptmembership thank you for all the resources! time to do my homework :D

Hi @FreethinkerInc man.. that's sound like very interesting. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Agreed! @tamlinspeaks I've bought some great samples from them but never tried getting their vocal sample packs

I did a demo of vocal chops in Loopcloud in last night's stream. Check that if you didn't catch it: https://youtu.be/r2W-QbBcwok?t=4218

Hi Rob, In this demo or perhaps another one you had a load of vocal chop loopcloud patterns - Did I dream this or did you make them available for d/l somewhere?

I made gated patterns with and without swing, as they're really useful, as well as the riser FX bank (sessions and patterns), and then all the bonus ones you get on the Loopcloud course, which where for processing bass. I'm pretty sure I didn't make vocal chops ones though, as they're kind of more fun to make yourself I think.
