Chopping Acapellas

Awwright, I kno how to work off an acapella on the beat, but the thang is, I don't know how to chop it and make it sound real good and chopped like they do with Da Runners type songs, ex., Money on my Mind, Hustlin', Stuntin is a Habit, you know, them songz with the chorus screwed and chopped, can someone please tell me how to or post a tutorial video or something please, I'ma newbie to the whole beatmaking thang, started bout one n a half months ago.

Which part specifically is difficult? It's really not that hard...what program are you using?

i dont no about other people but when i use to it i use to fine the peice i want of of the song like say you wanted to sample wayne going i make it rain, make it rain on them hoes

id cut that part out of the acapella

if i wanted to chop it id chop it (witch in most cases you drop the pitch)

then save it id do it twice one for the whole phrase and then again for tha part where he just goes "i make it rain"

then i use to use fruity loops and with fruity loops you can arrange the sample how you want it and shit

thats how i do it but maybe someone else can give u an easier way or something...

Yea Pimp...What Program Are You Using?(Young Ace)??...Its really not that hard but may take a little practice when you set the chops right where you want them in the track...

Just when choppin Acapallas..take your time and be serious about what you trying to achieve....

Stay Up Ace....

ya, i agree and use a good program that works for u and get familar with it

Are you having a problems with your chops overlapping? Its not hard just make sure you start your chop off good and end it good, just look out for other unwanted words in it.

Yea play with the pitch and keys too, to control the speed of it. If ur using FL theirs another pitch knob when ur in the channel settings and in the sample tab. Look for it more towards the middle. That will change the pitch of how it actually sounds without changing how fast or slow it is.

Also just be creative, theirs alot of songs that are chopped the same, sometimes it sounds corny if you dont filp the sample in a different way.

yo this is crazy i was jus bout 2 post a question bout the same thing but u guys helped me out thanks

lolol... i did this on like my 3rd beat ever... in 99... it aint hard to figure out at all...

Shit, ya boy using dat Edison shit on FL studio. Should I use something else what yall recommend? But yeah, I'm having trouble overlapping the chops, like on Hustlin', Ev-ev-ev, everyday I'm hustlin, or say I'm doing a chorus dat just say, I gotta get it, I, I, I, gotta get it, get it, yall know what I'm talkin bout? How to get dat good, precise chop I'm lookin for,any tipz yall got.

yeah you just gotta put tha sample right next to each other like u know when u on fruity loops and you click tha keys that light up and shit if you click em all tha sample plays everytime and shit

you just have to play tha sample to tha point where it overlaps

But when I put the chopped up part close to overlap, they play at the same time n sound shitty as fuck, like what should I use to cut up a part of the sample, like say I wanted to cut out Mo, outta money on my mind, what program or tool in Edison should I use just to cut out that 'Money' so I can get it to say Mo, mo, mo, mo, money on my mind. Yall get what I'm tryna ask right

i made somethign like that b4 its pretty easy here it is djsabot sampled demo - Song - MP3 Stream on IMEEM Music

all you have to do is trim the chops super eazy im using fl 8 u can trim the sample witout cut in edison just put the sample in ur playlist and look in the top left hand side there should be a arrow pointing both ways click on it so u can trim it with worrying about cuting to sample or overlapping

In the channel setting go to misc and click on cut itself, that would make it repeat without playing the whole sample over and over again.
