well you can record them to begin with, or search on free sample sites. or buy sample packs.

and with effects, I like a bit of distortion on my voices, and when they're like deep, I like to use the eq. and boost the low parts. also a little bit of reverb maybe.

hey I've got a few a capellas (singing with no other instruments), do you want them?
Sometimes I sample short vocals off YouTube ..
I don't know what subgenre you're goin' for; but if you were making a dark tune, then I would suggest adding some flanging, a bit of overdrive, maybe lower the pitch as well ... oh, and for ANY subgenre, add reverb to vocals or certain parts; like if you were having a breakdown then you could have reverb increasing on your vocals, that'd sound good

P.S. Your English is good!

Thanks for advices on effects, i will try to add them. And yeah, Ciaran, i want some of your capellas, will you send them to me? But i also read that the track may not contain copyrighted samples, so i' m not sure is it ok to do this. I usually make liquid dnb, maybe a little bit dark Happy

You can find really clean acapellas here:
http://www.acapellas4u.co.uk/

And on this site you can search in a large database of movie quotes:
http://www.moviewavs.com/ (But you'll need some decent noise filters and audio restoring tools to use the sample of this site..)

Or you might want to check out the Loopmasters Movie Dialogue serie..
http://www.loopmasters.com/product/detai..._Dialogue_Vol_3

Offcourse the last one will give you less trouble with copyright laws as the others. Although I don't think using snippets of acapellas will give that much problems! Wink

Like Jimmy Tongue

Offtopic found where you're moving yet mate ?

As for vox I sample from movies & tv series I watch or I get them from places like ...

looperman, ccmixter, breakbeatparadise etc.

google Smile

As for processing I tend to cut out a lot of bottom end, a bit of top, cut out bits where it needs cutting just sweep the frequencies with an eq Smile

maybe a bit of compression.

automating delay onto tail of a vocal can create a nice effect.

maybe some reverb, unison whatever (depends on track)

I even use a vocoder sometimes.

Also another thing I like to do rather than drop a whole sample into a track is cut it up word for word so you can add them where needed or you can use an app or your daw if it allows you to timestretch them to the tracks tempo (bpm)

Safe Wink

I sample from public domain movies. There are a lot of great voices and music to sample from these movies and since they are public domain you are safe from copyright problems.
