Verysickbeats Flips the Script: Vocal Stem Sorcery with Lalals

Verysickbeats kicks things off by laying out the classic stem separation struggle—yeah, Logic lets you mute drums and bass, but when those vocals are tangled up tighter than a headphone cable in your pocket, it’s a real headache. He’s hunting for a way to pry those lead and background vocals apart, especially when there’s a male voice hiding in the mix that Logic just won’t let go of.

You can tell JFilt’s not just doing this for show—he wants real control. There’s a genuine itch to flip tiny vocal phrases into something fresh, not just settle for whatever the DAW hands out. When the built-in tools hit a wall, that’s where the real fun starts—time to find a new hack.

Enter Lalals, a stem separation tool that lets you go deep—like, separating male and female vocals deep. Verysickbeats gives us a tour of the interface, showing how you can upload your own files or even rip from YouTube (don’t act like you haven’t done it). He’s all about pulling apart those layers, not just lead and backing vocals, but even splitting by gender—finally, that annoying male ‘yes, yes, yeah’ can get its own lane.

With the stems freshly sliced, JFilt downloads and unzips the goods, tossing them straight into Logic Pro. He’s surgical about it—grabbing only the bits he wants, like a chef picking the best toppings for street tacos. Sometimes the male vocal sneaks in where it shouldn’t, but he’s cool with it—just flips what he needs and leaves the rest. Using Quick Sampler, he chops up those vocals, changes keys, and builds new grooves right on top. It’s a real showcase of taking a raw stem and massaging it until it’s dripping with flavor.

What’s wild is how this process lets you stack and layer in ways old-school sampling never could. Instead of settling for a muddy vocal chunk, you can get hyper-specific—backing vocals here, a chopped lead there, maybe some sneaky male adlibs for texture. The Gemini kit drums come in for that signature knock, and suddenly you’re cooking up something you couldn’t have even dreamed about before. Trust me, watching these little pieces come together is way more satisfying than reading about it—go check the video for the full sauce.

What’s dope about this whole process is how accessible it’s become. JFilt makes sure you know: modern tools like Lalals flip the script on what sampling means. You don’t have to settle for what’s on the record anymore—now you can break it down, rebuild it, and make it your own. It’s the kind of studio trick that’s gonna keep lofi and boom bap feeling fresh, even when everyone else is stuck in the past.
