Old Funk & Soul Acapellas/Samples?

[Hoborg]

Lately I've been really vibing soulful tracks like Pretty Lights' newer material and Heartbreak's Moombahsoul stuff, but I wonder where are all of these artists getting these old soul acapellas and samples? Are they using sample packs or sampling from home or what? I think it would be really inspiring to get my hands on some of this stuff.

I want to bump this thread cuz I've really been wondering this too...where people like Pretty Lights and Bassnectar get their samples. I've been really trying to find some non-generic / non-"gangster" hip hop vocals to use in my productions, but havent had any luck. Do people sample them from old records or what?

best just finding your own samples to use. it can be quite hard and time consuming, but it is worth it in the end.

i find youtube to be a good place to look, as the related videos at the side can take you to all kinds of places haha.

there's quite a lot of motown acapellas (think the temptations, jackson 5, the four tops, this kind of stuff) floating over the internetz, not sure how ok it is to post links to these here, but i'm pretty sure a google search will find them for you

They can be very inspiring!

Most of the vinyl I buy isnt EDM related, but, you'd be surprised how often youll find vocal solo's. You dont need a whole acapella to make something amazing, just 16-32 bars.

those motown accapellas originated from karaoke discs that have the vocals on the left channel and the music on the right channel.

loads of them out there
