After some initial discussions and meetings, we decided to team up on the project. At this time, I had released 3 vocal sample packs<\/a> of my own. I had a pretty good idea of what was out there in terms of vocal packs, but I often found them to be a little dated, cheesy and geared towards one type genre or sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With CAPSUN ProAudio, we shared a mutual desire to improve the standard of vocal samples that people used. In fact, never before have we been so deeply invested in a concept. We understood each other\u2019s strengths and decided to join forces to make 91Vocals<\/a> into the No.1 Source For Premium Vocal Samples & Vocal Sound Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In December 2016 Splice announced that \u201cvocals\u201d were the most searched for type of sample. This added flames to the fire for me because this confirmed that there was demand for great vocal samples. I\u2019ve worked extensively with singers, songwriters, and producers in the music industry for over 10 years, so I knew I had a unique opportunity to drastically improve on existing vocal sample packs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I spent days googling and couldn\u2019t find any sample label that specialized in vocals but discovered that very few sample labels were founded by females. I instantly knew that this was something I wanted to pursue. Women are hugely underrepresented in the world of music production and I wanted to help be a step toward that change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In February of 2017, I started reaching out to the best vocalists I knew in the business. Being a singer, songwriter, and producer myself, I headed up the recording sessions for 91Vocals. I knew exactly how to prepare our singers because recording vocal samples isn\u2019t your typical type of session.<\/p>\n\n\n It requires an understanding of how people are using vocals samples in their music. But on a performance level, it requires good songwriting and improvisational skills, confidence to experiment with the voice and the ability to not take yourself too seriously or overthink things. It was a great advantage being able to demonstrate vocal ideas, relate to the singer, co-write and communicate with them in technical terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Initially, I worried that being a singer myself might put them off, but that hasn\u2019t been the case at all, we just have loads of fun. For me it\u2019s a joy listening to other singers do their thing. It\u2019s inspiring and keeps me motivated. We recorded on the best microphones and analog gear with the aim of capturing the cleanest and best vocals, so really we just geeked-out over gear, it was super chilled and relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"91-vocals-kate-wild\"](\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/91V_LASinger-1024x577.png\")
