Logic Pro Tutorial :: Playing Melodies w/ Vocal Samples :: Dubspot

For more info: http://bit.ly/hnTM7K
In this tutorial, producer/DJ and Dubspot Senior Logic Instructor Matt Shadetek shows you how to manipulate, re-pitch, and process vocal samples using Logic Pro 9's ESX24 Sampler and Pitch Correction plug-in. Utilizing one of the vocal samples that comes with Logic, Shadetek slices each individual note of the sample, converts them into a sampler instrument. Shadetek delves into the ESX24 Instrument Editor, in order to re-pitch the vocal samples and make them playable across the keyboard. He then utilizes Logic's Pitch Correction plug-in (similar to Antares Auto-tune), which he uses to refine the pitch of the re-pitched notes. At the end of the tutorial, you should have a strong grasp of how to take a sample and play your own melody with it in Logic's EXS24 sampler.

hey all,

Glad you liked the video. With a little ingenuity you should be able to implement this in any DAW. All you need is a sampler where you can specify a range of pitches for each sample (or multiple samplers to hold each sample) and a pitch correction plug-in. There are plenty of third party pitch correction plug-ins, Antares Autotune is a popular one, Melodyne is another.

Hi, Thanks for this video it is great.

Could you help me find a plugin, I tried lots of google searches but nothing. I can't remember the name. You press record (in the plugin) and record a sound and then you play that sound in every key of your keyboard. Really simple and automatic.

Thanks Again

Can you explain keys? really can't get my head around it

[djcomrie]

@mcsg27 makes sense. yes that's what I have been (experimenting with) using them for as well. However sometimes you find a synth lead that you may want to use to layer your own, or something of the sort. I realize this is not as inpsiring as vocal chops, but would the process for doing it be similar? Thanks for your help.

why did u choose f as the root note for the vocal samples?

[mcsg27]

@imranbhaloo not really. The whole reason for using vocal samples as an "oscillator" is that they produce such unique waveforms as the basis for your sound.  This waveforms are not naturally occurring sound waves in the sense that a sine or square wave are. It is really inspiring to grab vocal cuts and make instruments out of them because you never know what to expect.

[imranbhaloo]

could you theoretically do this with a synth sound as well? 

[imranbhaloo]

@zekk9 you can't produce music without knowing music theory. but if you must, download a program called mixed in key. upload your track onto it and it will tell you the scale your music is in. for the long term though, you should know your scale when you start to compose a tune.
