I didn't mean a whole vocal loop of any type. Just snip a word in half and make a cool little stab with it is what I mean. Then you can add delay to give more life to the sample.

I know exactly what you mean about laying things out first though. Many people work in that fashion. Then you get into the edits later after you're happy with the rough draft. I feel ya.

All in all I'd have to say it sounds well nice.
