Yeah, this is really the way to do it- surprised there isn't more of this stuff. Too bad recording vocals is such a pain in the ass, because I'd totally record some vocal stuff that's choppable in 64 steps. That would be fun as hell.
You'd just have to know the steps you can take in and out and what steps would work pitched up or down- or, screw it- you'd just have to play around and figure it out.
That's the one thing I've meant to do on the OT that I've yet to do- a couple of choppable 32-64 step vocal samples in different parts and timestretch when I take out parts and keep it on beat. would be a total blast and make a simple 3-4 tracks into a song.
This little owl sounds .wav is begging for the chop block. It's basically an acid bass line already. Crazy nocturnal raver owls:
