When it comes to making samples for other people, vocals can be tricky. You want them to have enough character to coax the reluctant to the dance floor and keep the crowd in an ecstatic, emotional state, yet stylistically open enough to be used in myriad kinds of music. And then trying to capture the feeling of 90s house on top of that. It’s a delicate balance to strike, so we knew it had to be with Shaprece. Her voice is vivacious, her range is ridiculous, and her creative choices are simply breathtaking.
We needed equipment that we could rely on to capture every inhale, belt, and hook of her performance, as well as the remarkable warmth and resonance of her voice, so we used a Bock 47, Avedis Audio MA5, and a Tubetech CL1B.
