Today I figured out how to create a vocal chop. I learned how to use a built-in plugin, called Simpler. It allows for sample chops to be made. I put in the song files for my friend's song. I went away with trying to find some interesting sounds, and I found a couple. I added some pitch bends to make the samples more interesting since they don't last long. I pitched them up by a semitone to match the relative key of D#minor that my song was already in. To be honest, I should have started out with the vocal chops and built the rest of the song into that, then made most of the rest of the song and fit the vocal chops into it. It's still doable, but I could have achieved a better result from that. I'll have to see until I finish the song to see if the end song is good with the vocals.
I also added some little adjustments to other aspects of the song. I made the lead/synths flow more with them lasting longer and being less sparce in the mix. I removed the hi-hats from the drums because they didn't make sense and stuck out like a sore thumb. Not a big fan of those, and they pulled too much attention to them. I also modified one of the percussion sounds because it pulled too much attention as well. With this the other parts are mostly cleaned up.
