There is a soundcloudpage i remember that has acapellas from "famous" dance songs. When i'm home, i'll try to find it for you

Thanks mate, looking on soundcloud was an option I hadn't considered and I've found a few accounts now.

Another question I have is - lets say I want to use an acapella at 95bpm, is there any way to use that acapella in a 126bpm house track? Downloading the audio file will keep it set at 95bpm right? Must I alter my own track's bpm so that it fits the acapella? And if so is that the case every time?

if you use ableton you can warp it, not sure about other daw's though

Yes I have stretched vocals many times using Ableton for mashups and for producing. I put Warp Mode to Complex Pro with Formants at 100%. This setting ensures a cleaner crisper sound for your vocals. I then use the metronome or a kick drum and drag warp markers so it fits. I find the auto warp isn't as accurate as me doing it manually. It doesn't take very long once you get good at it either .

Side tip: If you want to do pitched down vocal (skrillex style...) settings are: Complex Pro, set your transpose to -12 (one octave down) and change the formants to ≈0%. Once you change the Formants you will notice how clear the pitched down vocals become. For pitched-up go to +6 or +12 depending on how chipmunk you want to go.

I would pay attention to some of the remix contests from Beatport, Indaba & WAVO to obtain vocals and track stems for remixing. This website http://www.remixcomps.com/ does a pretty solid job of putting together most of the remix contests going on presetly.

Yo! If I'm doing some vocal chops I'll use Audacity to record acapellas off beatport, and then chop them up in my DAW.

Adrian & Raz has a TON of acapellas that you can use, and they even give you the key they were recorded in!

You can also try and make your own acapellas. If you have both the vocal and instrumental version of a track, you can use the "phase inverting" method, it's long and meticulous but turned out to be pretty efficient for me

Here's a video on how to do it in Ableton

A lot of artists with instrumental and vocal versions (cough cough PERIPHERY CELLDWELLER BLUE STAHLI) master them differently, so you'll get some drum transients even if you match them perfectly. Even if they're mastered the same, it won't be perfect. But if you always have the vocals playing over percussion, it shouldn't matter too much. Definitely the best way to get acappellas.

Epic.
