Hi,
I just wanted to know if anyone knew how to create that computerized robot voice like black eyed peas use a lot?. I don’t mean the autotune effect its more like a Eqing/filter or tonal delay type thing.
Thanks in advance!.
And not a vocoder? Can you point us to a specific example? A good vocoder and a few good synths will give you an enormous canvas of robot voices.
Sorry for the delay in reply,
On Britney Spears Hold it against me song at 2.30 the effects on the “Now” phrase after the stutters, and also on Snoop Dogg’s Sweat song at 1.33 on the apologize phrase. I think the snoop song has autotune on his voice but also another effect which was what i was trying to achieve… Also if you could recommend and good software Vocoder/Synth that would be most appreciated.
Thanks for your help
What production programs do famous producers use?
Pls Help
Thank you
That Britney “‘break’ is crazy, tons of FX used there I can tell. Try Waves Metaflanger/MondoMod combination and use diferent fx on on words or syllabes.
there are lot of programs producer uses.
Reaso
Logic
ProTools
Live
try combining at taste
@Jo, sorry for the delay. With regard to Sweat: You can try a vocoder with a synthesizer. That’s an old trick.
Another program to try is Melodyne, which gives you independent control over pitch and formant.
You may also try stretching tricks with programs like Ableton Live. Sounds like Cataracs were quite busy on Snoop’s vocal line in Sweat. Lots of variation and detail.
