Four Tet demonstrates a creative approach to handling artifacts from time-stretched vocals by employing looping techniques.
By creating a small loop of the vocal, he introduces a rhythmic pulse that adds coherence and movement to the sound. This loop is tucked underneath the main vocal track, effectively masking the uncomfortable artifacts and integrating them into the overall groove.
This technique not only covers up the technical imperfections but also enhances the vocal's presence and relevance in the mix.
