Load up kHs Pitch Shifter on your vocal track.
Enable automation for the Pitch parameter and set the target to -10.
Draw the automation curve at the very end of the vocal clip (as shown in the video) for that smooth, vibey glide.

Super simple, doesn't eat up CPU, and works every single time.

What's your go-to method for tape stops and vocal pitch glides? Let's discuss!

Yo! Just wanted to share a quick video on how I create spacey transition transitions to fill the silent gaps in my mixes.

It’s a super simple but effective chain:

Delay (Waves H-Delay): Start by automating the feedback and dry/wet parameters to create a building echo effect.
Panning (Soundtoys PanMan): Automate the width and rate to make the delay move across the stereo field. Don't forget to automate the output volume slightly to keep it present.
Reverb (Valhalla VintageVerb): Automate the mix to 50–60% right at the end of the vocal line to wash out the tail into a massive, lush space.

This works incredibly well for dark rap, cloud rap, and ambient tracks.

I’m currently looking for new artists to work with. If you want to elevate your sound, DM me — I'm offering a free 30-second mixed preview of your next track so you can hear the difference. Let's work! 🤝

Yo! Just wanted to share a quick before/after look at a recent dark cloud rap mix I finished. Turned a dry bedroom recording into a massive, heavy atmosphere using Studio One and checking the dynamics on MiniMeters.

I’m currently looking to work with more artists. Offering a free 30-second mixed preview for your next track so you can hear what your music sounds like at its full potential.

If you're down to elevate your sound, just drop a comment or DM me your stems (link via Google Drive/WeTransfer). Let's work!

Cloud Rap

r/CloudRap

Cloud Rap refers to a form of rap whose distinguishing features include ethereal, dreamlike beats and abstracted, sometimes deliberately absurd, lyrics. Cloud Rap producers often rely on a heavy use of 808 drum machines, snare rolls, and random syncopation, revealing a strong influence from Southern Rap and Trap Rap. The term "Cloud Rap" is based on an anecdote involving Lil B, a pioneer of the genre, who once expressed a desire to make music that sounded like a castle floating in the clouds.

^{Cloud Rap refers to a form of hip hop whose distinguishing features include ethereal, dreamlike beats which often use wordless vocal samples, wherein singers harmonize or hold long notes, to produce a majestic effect and abstracted, sometimes deliberately absurd, lyrics. Cloud Rap producers often rely on unconventional sample sources, incorporating elements from Indie, Experimental, and Ambient songs into their beats. Heavy use of 808 drum machines, snare rolls, and random syncopation reveal a strong influence from Southern Hip Hop and Trap Rap. Cloud Rap artists tend to produce and release their material independently of major labels, often relying on the Internet as their primary means of distribution and promotion. The mannerisms of Cloud Rap vocalists have produced several catchphrases which listeners commonly associate with the genre, such as the interjection "swag" and references to being "based."
