what exactly are you looking for? accapella is when you have 2 or more voices singing at the same time. I don't think I understand...
Are you looking for a vocal harmonizer effects unit?

Bjork's new album is basically an acpella album because she didn't use any actual instruments. It could just be one person singing without any backup. It has nothing to do with how many people are singing, or if they are singing at the same time. Just thought you would like to know what an acpella is since you didn't understand.
Oh, by the way, I posted this question a couple days ago so you should look there.

nice clarification to the contempory, hip-hop definition of accapella,
but it would be wrong to say that his definition is not valid...
He was reffering to "accapella", as in the genre of music, also known as
Doo-Wop, or even "BarberShop"....where the voice is the only instrument in the music....
Hence the alternate meaning, "acappella version", which would be just the vocal tracks of any song...jea....
So to stop any possible argument and or name calling...
both parties involved were unaware of the alternate meaning of "accapella"..
and a misunderstanding ensued....
ima smart-ass
but yea, acapellas are a bitch to come by, less you jus cop the wax, and most people are lazy when it comes to ripping vinyl into mp3, and industry people dont usually put em out there....
you gotta have that connect knamean?
call up the label, be like ur sum blend/mixtape DJ, and youd wanna produce a
remix of "X"'s song. Give them all the rights, fuck it...u might start a networking rapport.....

Accapella = voice(s) with no instruments
Duet = Two voices
Harmony = Two or more voices (vocal or instrument, doesn't matter)
Barbershop harmony =
- Simple, easily singable melodies, largely diatonic (notes of the melody are in the chord
- Melody in the second voice, usually a second tenor
- Tenor harmony above the melody almost all the time
- Bass singing roots and fifths primarily, and the baritone filling in the fourth note
- All singers usually singing the same words at the same time to form a chord (homophonic)
- Predominance of dominant seventh chords (also called minor sevenths or barbershop sevenths, C-E-G-Bb for example)
- Chord changes featuring a return to "do" (as in do-re-mi), using the circle of fifths (C-A7-D7-G7-C)
- Most songs sung in this style were written from 1900 - 1940, but any song with similar musical characteristics (the Beatles' "Something," and "Michelle," and similar songs) are suitable.
- Usually sung by a male quartet or a female quartet, but mixed (male and female) barbershop has been sung in many families since the 1930's (my uncles and aunts, for example.)
it's all love, just wanted to be thorough.

What do you mean contemporary "hip hop" definition of acapella? My post has nothing to do with hip hop (I know we're in a hip hop forum so it has a little bit to do with hip hop). If you read my post I wasn't just refering to hip hop, and rap acpellas...in fact I didn't refer to them at all, I actually refered to Bjork's newest cd called Medulla in which she uses no instrumentation at all, she uses all voices. Bjork is not...in any way...hip hop.
Look it up in the dictionary, the definition of acapella is a song comprised only of voices, no instruments (not the exact definition but look it up). That's not the hip hop dictionary, it's not a contemporary hip hop definition, it's the definition. I was in my high school choir for 4 years, I've taken 4 music theory classes, and I'm going to school for audio production. I know a little about music, and I know the definition of acapella is a song with no intruments. It has nothing to do with hip hop. True, what is being looked for here is hip hop acapellas (songs with all the instruements take out), but that definition has to do with any song without instruments. There is no genre of acapella. Barbershop, and Doo-Wop are genres all their own in which they sing acapella, meaning no instruments. So it would be safe to say his definition is wrong because he didn't say anything that pertained to acapella except "singing." He said that acapella is 2 or more voices singing at the same time, which an acpella isn't....well it could be but that's has nothing to do with the definition. 2 or more voices singing at the same time with a piano, or a trumpet isn't an acapella, even though it's 2 voices singing at the same time.
hehe I hope you all are taking this with a small grain of salt, but honestly his definition had nothing to do with the definition of acpella.
If you can prove me wrong, and show me where it says that acapella is a genre and not a way of making music, I'll be happy to withdraw. Even though "2 or more voices singing at the same time" is not the definition.

I found the definition on dictionary.com
a cap·pel·la ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ä k-pl)
adv. Music
Without instrumental accompaniment
Oh, and we were all spelling it wrong. It's a cappella. Just thought you would all like to know the actual meaning from the dictionary. I'm sorry if I sound arrogant, but that's the definition.

We answered his question, and now we're discussing acapellas in general. What's your deal?
