Heyall Big Grin


I've noticed that most tracks have some vocals, even if its just 2 words.
Now, my question is, if I record my own voice, can I make it sound like the vocals in this song?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y8rnk1hm8I


Again, can I record my own voice, and make it sound like when he says "SCAN ME"?

If so, can anyone help me? I googled, gave nothing tho..


Thanks Big Grin

yeah man u can do pretty much anything with a clean recorded vocal, theres countless different fx / combinations u can use to get sum nasty results Devil

that tune is wicked sounds like a whispered vocal just play about with some reverb n delay to start with (experimentation is key!), u can detune, distort, phase, filter it, also for dark vox try pitching them down normaly sounds cool Big Grin

@JeffiJoe:If you're on FL there's a TextToSpeech plugin which does a better than average job. It is even excellent when you chose a wispering mode (I'm not kidding you). Check it out.

Woah, and you can produce good DnB with it, and no VST's? Respect man! Big Grin



@ BattleDrone: Ah, the one where I type whatever I want, and it will say it, with some robotic voice? Question is, how do I mod it so it sounds as wicked as Error Utopia does? Big Grin

Render the whispering voice from that synth, and then pitch it down.

Set it to whisper, use a little highpass and add some distortion.
Don't copy the vocal from the track, find your own style.

The whisper is pretty natural but because of the robotic pronunciation it turns out really freaky Devil

My advice on getting a dark force of vocal is to
Pitch it down to give it some gruff,
Then distort with a distortion plugin, my advice is camel phat =]
Then surgically eq the fluxing frequencies and roll off the bottom end
Mix it down and bobs your fathers brother Wink

Try layering another differently distorted version of the original that hasnt been pitched together with the other, but give it a little splash in stereo

Hope this helps =D

if your using fl, try out the vocodex/vocoder, use the speech to make it say w,e then add the vocoder/ex to the mixer chanel thingy, and you can play with that make it sound like a woman man darker grittier etc.
