Download Montaigne's Ableton vocal rack. Turn any vocal or guitar sample into rhythmic hooks using Simpler's Slice and Gate mode. Original samples included.
Turn any vocal into a hook-making machine with Montaigne's Vocal Hooks rack, built around Ableton's Simpler.
"I use Slice mode with Gate - not Trigger - to get that punchy, rhythmic chop. Mix in a few longer notes alongside the short gated ones and you've got melodic variation without losing the groove. My workflow is mash then quantise: play it loose first, then snap it to the grid once you've found something good." – Montaigne
Comes loaded with a processing chain of high-pass EQ, creative panning, hybrid reverb, OTT-style multiband dynamics and saturation, ready to shape whatever you drop in.
Includes Montaigne's original vocal and guitar samples, so you can hear the technique in action straight away, or swap in your own vocals and guitar loops from the first chop.
Bonus: the same slicing method works just as well on a guitar loop, turning it into glitchy, percussive texture.
Required specs: Ableton Live 12 Standard or higher
