Turning Zendaya's adorable acapella into sweet vocal chops
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- What do you get if you take the adorable Zendaya singing "smile" and chop it up into some kind of melodic techno track? Well, you're about to find out. 😊
This is a vocal chopping technique that's just about the simplest possible approach to get fun and effective results in Ableton Live, using the Simpler device.

This track is very gooood! Maybe you could make some breakdown of it, ay?
I tell you what Oscar, Im currently studying a bachelor of Music technology in Brisbane, Australia and I've learned WAY more from you over the last 12 months than my actual degree, you're an amazing teacher and a bloody legend
Same here
This always makes me freak out haha. I didn't even have any formal music education myself. Some of these schools need some rethinking from the ground up it seems 😅 tell them to call me.
me too ahhaha
@@OscarUnderdog The way you approach music production is very hands on and to the point. Most schools/studies/courses give a lot of (lack of better words) "extra information" which tend to obscure the parts that you actually want to know. Although that "extra information" serves it's purpose, it feels a lot of times to much information. Plus I experienced that most teachers forget how much they know and assume you have the same frame of reference. You do not, Oscar and that really makes these videos of great learning value. Keep it up! And thank you.
much love for this comment
How can you be so likeable man! You’re the best Oscar we really appreciate you and all you give us
😊 making me blush hahaha
I really benefit from simply watching you perform your workflow while you slightly describe each decision out loud. It helps me both see quick key commands and think through problems/challenges
Glad to hear this 😊🧡🙏
The power of keeping the whole recording standing by is shocking to me.
As I learned sampling in the early days of useful hardware samplers, I could never have tied up so much memory in order to facilitate this workflow. Of course with contemporary software/hardware capabilities there's no immediate need to create discrete, permanent chunks you can no longer taylor. It's a whole new way of thinking for me. Not sure my noodle can handle the freedom🤩
Man thank you for this tutorial because I used to struggle with my "handcrafted" vocal treatments, it's gonna be a lot easier from now on. Thank you Oscar !
Current Value - Dark Rain is the best implementation of this technic.
For sure I'll download this track as well, as the beginning of the video was ultra vibe
i feel like the middle part of that track has been rather gated than chopped or that would make more sense and less work. the sample clip sounds the same throughout the whole track.
@@krensshepard5644 yeah, you're right, the have similarities but aren't the same thing
Every time I see this tutorial it blows me away. There is a similar one at EDM Tips, and I am going to try and combine the two techniques for my new track which I am almost done with featuring the late Carl Sagan and Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane. It's taken me hours to get right but rewatching this tutorial I can see where I am going wrong. This is one of those mind-blowing tutorials that I just keep coming back to in order to reinforce my understanding. Brilliant.
I was vibing with you right there at the end! Also, I want that jumper.
Your instructions are top class as always - thank you so much for your work! You really established some sort of "general manual" for electronic music production. Never found quality content like this somewhere else! In my eyes you're writing techno-history, Oscar!!! :) Much love from Germany
Litterally every vid I've seen of yours thus far has been super helpful, this sounded wicked by the way, love it ❤️
Thanks
Cheers Ben :D
You have a really good habit of helping me get unstuck with projects I'm working on when you upload, great video as always Oscar.
Cheers Nick 🧡😊🙏
This one is so useful. Hearing massive Kenton slash demon vibes from this.
love the "vibin" sections 😂
You're vibing, awesome :)
no YOU're awesome
haha sweetheart i pressed smiling the like button
😄😘
The GOAT is back
I love Zendaya!! You’re a great sensei! 😆👏👏
Thanks Agatha 😁⚡
We are not worthy for so much wisdom, thanks sensei 😎😎😎
Great one Oscar 👍. Re your studio: Please do not get rid of the wall shrimps textures, or please make a jumper out of them. 😁
😀 indeed, they should make an appearance. Am still trying to figure out what the setup will be!
Your the master bro! Keep rocking like always!!! lot of love and respect!!!! THANK YOU!🤩
🙌
One of (if not) the best videos out there on vocal chop techniques.
Another brilliant video. Thank you!
hey mate , like usual , an awsome trick like usual ,u re still my underground live hero ,thx
Cheers Fre :)
Not only does your track sound great this is very inspiring!! Thank you for doing this
great tutorial, the keyboard short cut shift tab is so convenient for those that missed it
I'm rewatching this after 7 months and still it blows my mind with something new that went past me when I first watched it. This is definitely going into my next tune.
Awesome and inspiring, as always! I’m moving into my new garden studio this weekend! Long wait and really looking forward to creating and going through your videos again for a refresher ..
Cool :D
A garden studio sounds like heaven
Excellent instructions! I really enjoyed and learned from this. You're a really great instructor. Thank you
Pure, each time!
Amazing work and knowledge! Keep it up man! Greetings from Barcelona 🌞
Deine Videos sind einfach genial!! Vielen Dank 😍
Danke schön 😁
You make me want to get better. Thanks !
love youduude always great tutorials
Love the final track. Given you don't plan to release it I'd be really interested to see a full breakdown of it. The transitions and build up are great. Plus you did a lot more with the vocal than you show here :)
thanks for sharing your knowledge with us !!!Respect and long life for you Man!!
Thats a great technic
Might be fun to use with movie quotes too
well explain !! good vid
Thanks for a great video
awesome is very help full .....thanks, I'm using it right now in my track.
Good on ya Oscar . Another awesome product
best teacher ever!!!
Much love 😌🙌
The best teach out there. So on point ✅
thank you!!
Now I know what to do with the vocals wich I recorded from games and some series from Netflix :)
Thanks for using samplar in this instance, this device unless used frequently is a bit overwhelming when trying to use, maybe an in depth review of these classic ableton devices with potentials!?
There really is no limit on there stocks, incredible content yet again Oscar, sharing your content regularly legend!
Thank you for always sharing super inspiring stuff, my dude!
Love to use vocals, this is very simple and usefull. Thank you! Glad you will be still doing ableton tutorials, they are the best!
Thanks! Great stuff as usual :)
Will be nice to see some tutorials with bitwig by you 😁
I would love to, and bitwig has been on my list for a while, but there's just not enough hours in the day to spread myself over too many DAWs 😀 but I don't close the door, maybe I'll get a chance in the future.
You are doing gods work
another great video !!! thank you so much .
I would love to see you explaining more about future rave ( MORTEN style..) ! it would be great :)
Me not being able to stop thinking of the classic song “A E I O U” we’re going to the track store
I always hear "Allrad, Allrad, Allrad", which is German for "four wheel drive". :)
😂
Very good !
This is brilliant man! That drum rack tip is epic
Awesome info here! There's a calibre remix of the classic house track Sense of Danger, I think he uses similar tech to this and I've been wondering for years how to do it!
Love the sweater
Amazing tutorial! you are really the best Teacher I follow! Please keep on using Ableton!
As I keep saying…Love your channel 🙏🏼🎧🤍
💙 keep saying it, it's music to my ears 😁
Dope!
I'm honestly a bit sad you've stepped away from mainly Reason tutorials 😢 ...but I still watch you, because you are a good teacher.
This technique for example... I would like to know more on how you would set this up in Reason using Mimic. Would you use a single instance of Mimic or many? How would you analyze and realize your "stutter voice" idea in Reasons workflow?
Man U did something
Thank you very much!
Awesome, thanks bro.
You know a man wearing a sweater like that has some knowledge 👌
Great stuff man!
Awesome great music. So sound great audio. 🤘
Grüße aus Hamburg! Und n comment ; )
😊🧡🤘
thank you~~learn a lots！
Very fine tutorial. =)
Amazing 💟
Thank you Oscar ❤
Sounds like a footwork track 👍
Cool!
You're cool!
Nice work
hi Oscar, a fan of your channel, really appreciate the content that you make.
would you be willing to make a full breakdown of the track ?
I'd pay for the thing
Hey, nice tip ! I would like to know how you achieved the little repeats preceding the voice on the beat, how you dosed the crescendo of it
32nd notes in midi, and tweaking the velocity! 🤘
Sweetheart :))
Cutie piiiieeee
❤
Der mann hat es richtig drauf
Hi man, amazing inspiration as always! What is your artist name on Spotify?
Torc! It's very techno though :D
I would like to make a suggestion and i know the perfect reference song its called “caminho de dreyfus rebolledo remix” it has some crazy vocals I’ve always been curious to learn and sure your gonna love, thank you and do plan on becoming a student soon!!
please make one video about brutalism3000 skills of vocals and how they make that magic with vocals
and thanks for each one your video, u are great man
This is amazing. Do you have a full course for creating a track like this, down to mastering? or this template available?
Always informative, but I was waiting on your tips on the Vocal Glitch effect, is that just a matter or putting 1/32 notes in followed by a longer note in the drum rack? I have trouble coming close to that effect.
Yep 32nd notes! Sometimes simple is best :)
How do you rip MP3 from UA-cam? This is a trick commonly used by Orbital. This is fantastic and gives me ideas for my next tune. Thanks Oscar.
There are some websites that do it for you :)
@@OscarUnderdog Which do you use? I used to use cconvertor but that won’t rip music anymore.
So ..we don't need to check the scale of source song...? Or have an eye on singer notes???!!!! Doesn't this mess the harmony or I donno, tune of our main track? By the way, loved the video and congratulations on new studio
Well, I didn't want to remake the original track, Iw anted to do something more abstract with the voice. So then you just follow your instinct :)
The "kickbassgroup" sound so good !! what plug do you use ?
Possible to share what kind of bass line that is? The driving, rolling kind.
Can you please post a video about AutoTune Pro?!
hate to correct the teacher, but if you have ableton standard and drag a clip on the midi, you get a simpler (not a sampler)
True, also in suite 😁 I would argue simpler is a type of sampler instrument tho!
is this drumrack thing with different vocal starting points wich u have done at the end of the video also possible on fl studio?
Best regards
It's funny, I really like the smallest sliced stuff, but the larger stuff ("aching"? at 1:26) annoys me enough that it's hard to listen to. It's been twenty years now, but it reminds me of BT or Moby, that I thought were fantastic the first two or three times, but I came to detest so much that I don't want to hear any of them ever again. ("Oh lordy lord, trouble so hard". It's been two decades!)
What's the reason for hating artificially repeated vocals so much? Does this happen to anyone else or just me?
Why don't you use FL Studio?
Super usufull all your videos, waiting to finish all of them to star the lesson in the website
Far too fast, my screen not doing the same as yours. Annoying for a newly
Correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't the use of a sample in your song still require the owner's permission once you publish it, commercially or otherwise?
Love it, do you have a tutorial for that kinda Bassline as well?
