I love this... some people say it sounds cheap and cheesy, but I think it's great... it really makes the lyrics more of an extra instrument, rather then the focus of the song, which is the way I like lyrics to be usually... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. Mogwai and Pink Floyd have used it to great effect. I have a VSTi vocoder and it sounds great :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if it's done right, then it can sound good. i like dmx krew's vocoding. glass room! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have one but I have no idea how to use it...do you know of any tutorials? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for instance, I think Cher raised the bar when she used it in that song... damn, that was nice! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no no NO! i hate how they use vocoder's in mainstream pop. well, sometimes it's that bad, that it's actually funny. but still, it's awful |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed, but even if its funny it becomes annoying rather quick |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hate it in mainstream pop a whole lot, but I LOVE it in electronic tracks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, yeah, I was being sarcastic... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for instance I fucking hated it in that cher song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was listening to Air's Moon Safari album before, which is why I made this thread... the vocoders on there are cool... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cher didnt use a vocoder. She used a program called Auto Tune. Well her producer did. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
auto tune.... vocoder whatever that song sucked |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh my, you mean she didn't write her own song? :O *faints* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not disagreeing with that. Just thought I'd point it out. It's important :P funk: Sorry to have had to break it to you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for a second there, i lost all respect for you. i loath that stupid 'do You beLIIEVeveVE in love after love' cher song don't scare me like that again :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you've stripped the innocence away from me... now my heart is exposed to the harsh realities of the world!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh I was just being stupid, I didnt think you were disagreeing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's not a Vocoder in the Cher track, that effect is Autotune turned up full, a REAL vocoder is this..... The first ever one! in the 20's or something! Experimental IDM music my arse! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
where did you find that? I heard the first one was first displayed at some world fair around the 20's |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, the vocoder goes back a ways... I remember we talked about it in a Popular Music course I did in university... I forget the details though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Great to use it for other than vocals. like vocode a drum track to a synth track. or vocode your dick to a 2-by-4. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He he, did you check out that remixing book I told you about then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the peff one? I've ordered that but not read it yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hate gay vocoder. The only instance I can think of that I've liked it is in Boards - '1969'. And I guess in Bola - Pae Paoe' it is kind of neat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and while I remember. Got your e-mail to day mate, But I was in the server room all day and didn't get a chance to go on my computer :) Server room was fun though :D |

ROBOTS by kraftwerk is a classic |

Aphex Twin uses a lot of vocoder on ICBYD.. at least that's what it sounds like to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think they're synthesised voices. But don't hold me to that :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Where are there any voices besides 'come on you slags'? That doesn't really sound like vocoder... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nope the one purely on remixing... a load of ninja tunes/warp artists are in it and it mentioned how the vocoder-like effect on Cher's comeback song was done :) I will preorder peff's one tommorow probably as I've got to go to town anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK :P I'll check my e-mails as I have a vague recollection of a remix book..... BAM! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Those voices on ICBYD are the preset voices that you get on a mac text to speech program. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not just for voices. like in Ventolin, i think he has the Bass Drum vocoded to the Screeching. because of the way the screeching sound gets tweeked by every bass hit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyway, i use vocodor a LOT but i hardly ever use it on voices. mostly on synths and drums. i got the idea one day while smoking buds and listening to ICBYD because that what it sounded like to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like using a breakbeat as the modulator for long held notes/chords on a synth pad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
one example: i have always theorized, that much of the confusion about whether the voice is saying "come on you slags!" and "I want sex" is because it is both of those phrases, vocoded against eachother. i've done tricks like that easily with a vocoder. but yo. that's just what it sounds like to me. i never chatted with RDJ about or nothing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah word, that's what i'm talking about. it's how i did a lot of the noises in my track "blip hop" that shit was almost all vocoder tricks. i don't think i have that track online though, it's on the EP i've been giving out. |
