I had the music channel ‘Flaunt’ on Sky earlier and this track came on, it’s a sh*te track but i noticed they were doing quite a lot of manipulation on the vocals.
I was wondering how I too can manipulate vocals like that?

Hey roben seems like its just vocoding theres a couple of vocal stutters in there and the blokes voice sounds like its doubled up with one pitched down and vocoding on it and the other normal .

It sounds like multisampled vocals at different pitches with a glide put on them Actually im playing with ableton sampler right now and im pretty sure thats how its made

I did the vocoder tut before and the sound is a bit different. Egg i think you could have hit the nail on the head, thanks bro.

Glitch or Effectrix will do it.

Hey how do you embed videos into the post? Thanks

i think you gotta convert to midi file (in ableton) and then pitch down/up with your midi keyboard … i havn’t try , let me know if it works…

subjct · July 6, 2009, 11:49pm

so ? works or not?

Roben · July 7, 2009, 6:22am

No i wasn’t sure how to do that glide option, all that happens for me is by pressing the new key it restarts the phrase.

Anyone?

subjct · July 7, 2009, 9:46am

i was meaning that you had to play with the pitch wheel…

Roben · July 7, 2009, 12:40pm

Ah ok, will have to try that when i move my midi keyboard to my girlfriends. I have programs set up there so im working on that project there, but no midi keyboard there either lol.

Here i have different projects… Just wish i’d finish them!
