You’ll notice now that all the markers have been renamed, so marker #1 is now in a different place. I right click on the two markers and delete them. While this kind of sound can work absolutely fine, it’s not what I’m after.

Marker #1 & #2 I don’t want because they’re just breath samples.

Note that this takes a lot of trial and error and it’s completely done by ear. I’m going to delete the parts I don’t like and move some markers around until I have some nice vocal chops. Let’s start selecting our chops, starting with FL Studio. Straight away we’ve got some vocal chops created that can be played with our keyboard or organized in the piano roll. Note: If you get a dialog box that reads “ This clip is not used anywhere else…” click yes and continue. It will then ask you to save it somewhere, by default, it will save in the same place as your acapella. Here’s how to do that in both FL Studio and Ableton Live: FL Studio: Make UniqueĬlick on the top-left drop-down list inside the audio clip, and underneath Sampleclick Make Unique as Sample. We want to ‘bounce’ or ‘consolidate’ our sample so we can easily open it with our tool of choice. The next thing we’ll want to do is get rid of the surrounding audio from the acapella (we don’t need it for our vocal chops and it’s good to keep things organized). This opens up a lot of room for creativity and also provides a unique sound (as opposed to a dry vocal sample). Second, I admire the vocal effect that’s been placed on top.

There’s enough to cut from just this section. Why did I choose this particular section?įirst of all, I like the differentiation in pitch and timbre during the first phrase.
