What I'm actually doing in this video: 1. Open Slicex. 2. Turn 'Auto-Dump' off. 3. Choose an acapella with no delay and/or reverb and which is in-key with the track you're working on. 4. Start searching for long vowels and place the markets as shown in this video. 5. Switch to piano roll view and start placing the notes. Experiment, until you'll get the desired feeling. 6. Process the vocal as shown (EQ, delay, reverb, sidechain, panning and/or whatever else you feel that will enhance your mix).
Check out my second tutorial for vocal chopping: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZxOjC_XfxK0.html "FL Studio 12 - Trance Vocal Chops HD Tutorial - [Old Anjunabeats Style]"! :)
Hey man, do the vocals need to be in key with your song? I found it hard to change the pitch with FL keys. My ear is not trained good enough to get it bang on. But I noticed you did not have to change any of the pitches, it was all good to go..
+Ananda Noone Hello. It is essential prior importing any acapella on the Slicex instance, to ensure that the acapella is harmonically compatible with the track you are working on; meaning, they are on the same key. In this tutorial, I was working on a track on the key of G#; thus, I picked up an acapella that was on that same G# key. :) Now, in terms of the pitch: I usually avoid using an acapella that would need lots of changes on the pitch, since that would indicate to my ears that perhaps that one acapella is not that suitable for the track I am working on, despite the fact that they might be on the same key. There were instances that I would change perhaps a little the Slicex master pitch bend, in order to make the acapella sound entirely on key, but other than that, I am not really into the method of changing every individual chop's pitch, since the purpose is to keep things simple on your workflow. However, if you would want to get experimental and pitch every individual chop through the piano roll section, just to make your overall vocal chops' finishing sound to sound more 'cool' and 'processed', then, yes, I would say that it is great to slide every individual chop's pitch; hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions. =] P.S.: I plan to do many more video tutorials/show-reels on vocal chops (including using the method of changing every individual chop's pitch through the piano roll), so stay tuned. =]
I'll have to recreate the project, since that was created on my old laptop, which I don't use anymore; Thanks, for your time checking it out, though. ;]
I wouldn't recommend Edison for slicing vocals, since it is mostly for editing purposes, than doing 'surgical' slicing! In my opinion, your best option is Slicex!
Brandon Sparks I am not sure if the demo version comes bundled with Slicex and, no, for FL Studio, I highly recommend to use Slicex for chopping purposes! You can check Image Line's official website; I think they might mention what plugins are included in the demo version. =]
Hey, thanks for your interest! Unfortunately, I do not have this project anymore; However, do keep an eye, as I'm planning to create and give-away some free projects.
