Chopped & Screwed

Tony,
There are different ways to go about doing this. What software do you currently have. Do you have turntables, or some type of editing software? Im using a program called Cool Edit Pro but its called something else right now (i think its called adobe something of the other) Anyway i use CEP to pitch some of my samples. You can also drop each one of the those pitched samples into a track session to create the chop effect, but i know its not correct way to do. Its basically a work around for me when im slowing down a sample, but i havent tried doing both the chop and screwed method.

In FL Studio, just take the wav and drag it out to the desired "screwedness" - the longer you drag out the way, the further you slow it down. Simple as that. For choping, (remember to do this part after you strech it), just use FL's cut tool, and cut sections (like a word on a hit you want to repet once or twice). This is easy too, just cut before and after the part you want, paste it as many times as you want *(copy in FL is just by clicking on it - paste is just let of, and click again)* *(It's because of how simple it is in FL Studio to do this, I mentioned using it, and not Cakewalk software)*

When I open the FL Studio, and open the certain vocal strip, how do I even get inot the "screwdness" parameters lol? I never used this software and it would be a pain if the functions I want to do it RIGHT IN MY FACE and I'm still struggling to do it lol

BTW, here is an example, I did this in FL Studio in 2 mins. You should know the song.

When I strech the wav........I just just export that to a wav but a chopped and screwed version and then take any parts I want? What about that delay effect......when it repeats itself and whatnot? I thought their was a specific type of software for that type of vocal capture u know.

The dely like I had in that example on the vocals ? I just put the song under the song, made the second wav unique, moved it off time SLIGHTLY, and automated the volume on it.

Repeating itself isn't a dely, its coped, pasted, and then let the song go again. Hence the word "chopped".

So basic copy/paste is in order huh? Seems simple. Is their software other than FL Studio to get the chopped and screwed effect?

No idea, I use FL Studio. But I'm sure there is, but I doubt seriously there are any as easy.

Are you using FLS version 6 ? Version 7 sucks, and I dont think even works for this.

i actualyl thought I had the full version but right now (very disappointing)...........FL 4 lol.

FL Studio has free upgrades for life. But what you want to do can be done in 4. Use the bottom of the "Play List" (PL) window.

Okay.

U just saved a young mans life lol. Well if I can't understand that.......than I'm DUMB lol. I'm going to try it tomorrow and i will let you know the results I come up with cause I'm getting tired now. Thanks for the help man. You just made a record become a hit.
