vocal samples
Audio clips sung
Vocal samples are recordings of human voice—snippets of singing, speech, or other vocalizations—used as raw material in music production.
Producers chop, loop, pitch-shift, and layer these fragments to create new compositions: The track builds around a pitched-up vocal sample from a 1970s soul record.
Vocal samples range from recognizable phrases to unidentifiable textures.
