OK, so since we were on the subject of vocals in another thread, it got me to thinking about something. You hear a lot of what I can only term as "vocal instruments" or "vocal pads" in a lot of released tracks by the "pros". You know, the various "oohhs" and "aahhs" and what not.

I was always wondering where these guys come up with these samples.

I figured that some of the larger producers are probably taking bits from vocal tracks they have recorded for previous songs (think A&B - Air for Life) and I have heard several samples that seemed like they were ripped from "pr0n", but it seems like a lot of the "not quite as big" producers are coming up with these samples from other sources.

Like listen to Internet Hugs from Espen & Elusive:

There are several samples in there, both singing and this reverbed talking piece.

Where the hell do they come up with that stuff? Are they just that resourceful?
