Making Your Own Vocal Samples & Producer Tags
Hey producers, let's talk about leveling up your beats with custom vocal samples and tags.
Audio producer tags and vocal sampling are crucial for building your brand and giving your tracks that pro sound. Here's how to cook up some fire audio branding:
Vocal Samples
First up, vocal samples. These little snippets can add serious flavor to your beats. Here's the deal:
• Record yourself or link with a singer/rapper. Capture short phrases, ad-libs, whatever sounds good.
• Keep it simple - "yeah", "what", non-lyrical, or even vowel sounds can work.
• Layer effects like reverb, delay, and pitch shifting to make it unique.
• Chop and edit to create variations.
Producer Tags
Now for those producer tags. This is your audio signature, so make it count:
• Short and sweet is key. 2-3 seconds max.
• Use your producer name or a catchy phrase.
• Record it yourself or get someone with a sick voice to do it.
• Add some FX to make it stand out.
• Consider having a few versions for different vibes.
Tips:
• High-quality recording is a must. Don't skimp on the mic.
• Be original. No copying off of other producers' styles.
• Make sure it fits your brand and the type of beats you make.
• Test different placements in your tracks.
• Send a raw reference track of your sharing your ideas or for revisions.
Fun Fact: Did you know that foxes use a variety of vocalizations to communicate? They have over 40 different calls! This diverse "audio branding" helps them express everything from warnings to social bonds. As a producer, you can take inspiration from nature's storytellers and create a range of audio elements that tell your unique story.
Remember, these elements aren't just instrumental additions - they're part of your producer identity. Take time to craft something that will represent you.
I'm a sucker for vocal samples :), but producer tags are really lighting me up right now. I've created a new one every day this week!
So please get in the booth, experiment, and create some signature sounds that'll have people knowing it's your beat from the jump.

24-7 by Slaz lyrics
You came, you came to me at the perfect time
My god, my god I gotta make you mine
You got me hypnotized, mesmerized, got me cutting all my ties
I can’t get you off my mind, I don’t think I want to though
Girl you give me feelings, and that’s something I ain’t felt before
So can we take it a day at a time
And maybe one day you’ll let me make you mine
Any time I think of you I’m lost in thought for weeks
That body looks so juicy I thought it was all a dream
My god, I gotta make you mine, I want you all for me
She said this place is open any time, any time for me
24-7, 24-7
24-7, 24-7, open any time for me
You came, you came to me I told you what I know
You showed me where to go so I could grow
My sunshine turned your flower to a rose
You turned my silver into gold
I can’t get you off my mind, I don’t think I want to though
Girl you give me feelings, and that’s something I ain’t felt before
So can we take it a day at a time
And maybe one day you’ll let me make you mine
Any time I think of you I’m lost in thought for weeks
That body looks so juicy I thought it was all a dream
My god, I gotta make you mine, I want you all for me
She said this place is open any time, any time for me
24-7, 24-7
24-7, 24-7, open any time for me
Any time I think of you I’m lost in thought for weeks
That body looks so juicy I thought it was all a dream
My god, I gotta make you mine, I want you all for me
She said this place is open any time, any time for me
24-7, 24-7
24-7, 24-7, open any time for me
