What To Look For When Choosing an EDM Vocal Sample
Depending on the vibe of the edm you are working with, you can search for many different sounds. Generally what you want to look for is a fairly basic vocal line. It’s not very often that you hear a lot of natural vibrato on a voice. Generally, you want a strong solid vocal line to fit in with your track that you can manipulate later. There are a few other factors that are important for picking samples so look through them before you begin.
Pricing
Especially in these current times, you cannot afford to just throw money around like it’s no big deal. You want to make sure you get the best return for your purchase, especially looking for EDM vocal samples. Luckily samples are easy to come by, whether you go through a subscription, like Splice or Loopcloud, which allows the purchasing of individual samples, or if you want to outright purchase an entire pack.
Frequency of Use
With vocal lines, you have a lower chance of reusing them than say a kick or guitar riff. That is not to say that you cannot reuse a vocal take. When you have a vocal samples it can be chopped up and manipulated to create new sounds beyond just a basic melody.
Skill Level
Inserting a vocal sample into a pre existing song can take a lot of practice and patience. You might need to change the timing of your song or even the vocal itself to get them to match up. Many engineers will want to have the vocal line first then build the song around it to make sure it all lines up correctly. With that in mind, any skill level can do this if only to practice and get better at it.
