Aside Quote by Skrillex
“I do most of my vocals - aside from a couple of little one-shot vocal samples. I record everything into the Saffire with an SM58 then scratch it with loads of plug-ins. I don't do much vocoding to be honest. All my vocals are usually done with Melodyne and a ton of other plug-ins to make it sound weird.”

![“There are a lot of people who have used the same samples I've used, but there's no way they flipped it the way I did. So, when I put my version out, people completely forgot that this [other] person did it. Everyone can have the same product, but it's more about the way you present it and put it…” quote by AraabMuzik](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/367/araabmuzik-35069_flipped_there-are-a-lot-of-people-who-have-used_630650.jpg)
