Digital Psyence Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Which voice effects (hardware or software) do you use for making these in-human voices, which sound so cool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asian_bud_nation Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 basically u can make cool voice effects any way u want...u can use any combination of distortion, delay, reverb, phasers, etc. to manipulate voice's...but basically what i think u're aiming for is a vocoder...a vocoder basically takes two signals (usually a voice and a synth or drum) and modulates one ontop of the other according to specific frequency bands...vocoders are available many hardware synths, but can also be found in a bunch of different software configurations. for example, reason 2.5 now has a vocoder (truthfully i havent been able to get any sounds that i really like out of it, but other ppl surely have), and there is the well known VST plugin called Vokator, that i personally havent used, but again, my friends tell me its awsome. I'm sure there are plenty of other soft-synth type vocoders available, so just look around and im sure u'll find something u like.. but again, try just taking a sample, chopping it up, do a little time compression/expansion, rearrange it, any add any effects your heart desires as a final touch. i rarely try to mess with vocoders because i love the job of manually twisting and turning a normal vocal sample into something bizarre.. anyways, enough said, just try it! peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have to try that when i receive my new motherboard and xeon processors! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest djnemo Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 timestretching is a very cool "effect" too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acido Domingo Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Whatever you use, please, please don't use this flange-like thing that Cher brought up and everybody's been copying, even in one or two psytrance tracks. It suxx bigtime. That said, I always wondered why noone has come up with a sound input to some TB303 emu yet, I think it would be cool for a few things and not hard to implement. Like, instead of feeding a rectangular or sawtooth wave into the filters, just use a sample to make it squeak and roar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
