I'm a "talk-boxer" & use AUTO-TUNE & 1 thing no one realizes is AUTO-TUNE can't "bend" notes! Talkboxing can "bend" ur notes into each other, like normal singing, but still sound "robotic!"
talkbox>autotune talkbox does forsure need skills and u have to actuallyknow how to play an instrument to use the talkbox...and stevie wonder is one of the greatestin music ever
@TaterThao Actually you have to know how to use auto-tune contrary to popular belief.... You have to stay in key with the beat which isnt easy to to do at ALL so do research before you speak
@TaterThao Auto-Tune is not some magic bullet that makes bad singers good enough to get a record deal. It won't help you if you can't carry a tune to save your life, and these days you'd be hard-press to find a singer who doesn't use it at least occasionally. There's no shame in, for example, going back to fix a few flubbed notes to save time in the studio.
@stripes5150 This is NOT auto-tune at ALL. This is a device made to literally give a voice to instruments. Comparing this to today's auto-tune is lacking respect to those who used it for real music.
@FrankyDooDy0 not really man.. what does auto tune do? keeps all the tones within a certain scale or key. which you can automate to change with the chord progression of the song. you have to play the keyboard within that same scale or key as you use the talk box as well. they really almost the exact same thing. T-pain could probably set up a full song in 20 minutes where it would take me or you days. is that not skill?
@jessesnowden t pain sing normally using an especial mic, with auto tune, then it automatically hits the notes. stevie wonder is playing the notes on a keyboard, then it goes through the tube and stevie sings modificating the voice
@bbs528 You're missing the point here. i know how both work, I'm a recording engineer. I was pointing out that they are both different medians of expression, and furthermore that auto tune has been applied much in the same way that talk boxs were used when they were popular. look at something like daftpunk. the song ROBOT ROCK, is it auto tune? or talk box? it could be both. because by that point the software had the capability to do it. its like arguing oil paint over pastel.
@stripes5150 that's not autotune... that's a talk box, a tool that's there to be used, as the overdrive, flanger, reverbs or delays are used with guitars, pianos, voices, drums, etc. Don't be so closed minded,it's a very beautiful song.
@etucomisso Close To You. The song was composed by Burt Bacharach. The most well known version of the song was recorded by The Carpenters. Karen Carpenter voice is the first that comes to mind but it has been recorded by many singers over the years. Stevie handles it with sensitivity and gives it a creative, original treatment.
Whyyy doo biirdds... sud den lee appeayaa - Eveytime... you are neaaar... ooowee babay - Just like me.....They long to beee...close to youwowowowo.. -. On the day that you where born... the angels get together - And decided to create a dream come trruuuueeeee.... - So they sprinkled moondust in your hair - Of gold and starlight in your eyes of bluuuooooowowowow! ===== I love singing along with him lool ^^,
@trademark1874 I suppose at the time the Talk Box was a bit of a novelty. Anyway its shows the openess of Stevie to embrace electronic sounds and treat them with the same respect as music made from acoustic instruments.
@SiqMachine I think a lot of the audience saw this as novelty at first, and were quickly chagrined when they realized how very beautiful the performance was. This tears me up every time I watch it.
anyone know what talkbox he's using? the tube looks so much smaller than all the others.... One doesn't want to look like one's smoking cock on stage..... does one!
@niteh4wk great comment.... Stevie doesn't need a talk box. ... doesn't need a keyboard then, perhaps no songs? Perhaps he just needs nothing to be a legend ....? Of course the guy needs a damn talkbox.... how else would he demonstrate talkbox skills.....? Thin air?
@AntiPirateSquad I know he showing his skills on the fuckin talk box you idiot. I'm just saying that Stevie Wonder is one of the best singers ever to grace this planet and he doesn't need to be like some crap "singers" who need a talkbox or autotune to "sing"
Hey i just got my Rocktron Banshee talkbox and im having some trouble getting clean tones out of it that are clear for guitar. If i turn the gain all the way down its sorta clean but its extremely quiet even if i turn the volume up all the way on it, and using a microphone. The gain knob is extremely sensitive. The tone is clean but it sounds like it sorta has a very light distortion/fuzz. could someone answer and help me please??? thanks for your help
@reza990 Nope, this was filmed in the 70's and the e-mu emulator was introduced in 1981. At this time, Stevie had a different hair style. No need to have a sampler to use a talk box, you can use any electric amplified musical instrument...
Hell, Peter Frampton used a talkbox on his Peter Frampton Comes Alive album.....and Steppenwolf!!! It’s not a cultural, hip-hop thing....you have to have a great deal of talent to sing and play the the melody that you want the box to produce.....unlike the Autotuner.
Roger Troutman and Teddy Riley were also musical geniuses.....not many people can do this and make it sound good.
@gotjuice9 u know tht the talk box has the natural voice and doesnt balance out. the auto tune makes the artist have 1 level of sound. basically its cheating. you dont evem have to master auto tune. the talk box is pretty hard to use. i had a go and it took me about 1 and a half years of 2 lessons a week to be good at it ( i still think i suck )
@mrbrockpeters Actually Stevie Wonder is the person who turned Roger Troutman on to the talkbox. As for the song being slow,Stevie is singing it the way it was written.
God... what a beautiful rendition. Those floritures at 0:15 and at 0:28 just... ahh nevermind. Such a pleasure to see him enjoying his own playing, just like a child.
@SiqMachine thats not what that run meant.. his response was perfect... stevie laughed aswell.. its like a kid w a toy you know.. doing somethign fun.. and the guy who laughed knew perfectly what stevie meant by that 'ooie baybe' run
@SiqMachine Im pretty sure thats not why he was laughing....That was one of those "thats Cool/Tight Laughs"...... I mean every laugh in the beganing ..
@SiqMachine im almost sure he's laughing at the song he's singing, not actually laugh at the talented blind guy lol... which is why steve is also laughing...
@ezgib421 they are all laughing because they are all on dope. Imagine hearing this shit in 1972..fucking off the hook type shit. Make your grandma giggly.
Roger was great on the talkbox no denying that, and yes he was even a master on it too...But what you failed to realize is by the time Roger mastered the talk box, Stevie had already mastered it in the late 60's and 70's and then went on to something else..Stevie has so much talent that he didn't have to use a talkbox on every song in order to get a hit, he can actually sing..
@Synthasism yes, I saw the tube in his mouth after I posted that, I thought I'd deleted my post lol. Thanks for your reply. The man is a complete genius.
@blueleadguitar No, that's a talkbox. A talk box is usually an effects pedal that sits on the floor and contains a speaker attached with an airtight connection to a plastic tube. Look up Peter Frampton or Zapp and Roger. They've been using that WAY before T-Pain...
"Close to You" by The Carpenters (Richard and Karen Carpenter) probably originally recorded in the 1970's. Unfortunately Karen is no longer with us; she had the voice of an angel. Richard wrote the music ajnd orchetrations, and Karen did the vocals.

Esperanza Spalding set the bar real high. She, like Stevie Wonder, revisits the African-American spirit that was prevalent during the Civil Rights movement and shortly thereafter. Her ascent represents progress in the best way. I'm not really sure she has too many equals in today's Black music. And she will probably never use the N-word in any of her lyrics unless she is doing some serious teaching.
@Electroacha the signal is fed thru an amp and is very loud and too loud can vibrate your skull! seriously..so he just mouths or whispers the words around the sound and there you have it. so its kinda like having a loud amplifier put into a tube and into your mouth..there is a mic there..but he doesn't have to be up on it because of the volume of it..you want to be close to it but didn't necessarily have to in this case.
@alphaqnow yeah thats what I thaught too. In fact I couldn`t find another explanation. I was just surprised, I mean, the mic gots to have a really defined characteristic to not absurb too much from the noise around. Anyway, just wondering, cause I`d like to get a talkbox too, and if there was like a self-recording type of talkbox (which technically sounds pretty ridiculous, I know) it would have saved myself a lot of recording difficulties. so thanks anyway
I've tried to use a Talk Box in the past with my guitar and keyboard but unfortunately putting that tube in my mouth made me vomit each time, which I regret because I really love that sound.
I say this out of love and respect , and because I love him so and I don't want him to leave us sooner than need be. My intentions were not to offend him or his family. I have been a fan for over 35 years, and I will remain a fan forever. I want to thank you for your music and sacrifices and the many times you have put your career on the line for us. I love you, Good Brother.
Sincerely one of your truly and most devoted fans.
With the weight he is carrying he is a prime candidate for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis and many other ailments associated with being overweight. My intentions are not to hurt Stevie, but with the sudden passing of Michael Jackson almost two years ago and the sudden passing of Teena Marie this past holiday, I want to make sure that my idol is around for a long, long time.
i also want to find the complete version of this. ohh its so beautiful!!!

No doubt Stevie is a Giant...but dismissing every/all contemporary artists who use auto tune is LAME and Predictable..

@njehehe
"Close to You" by The Carpenters (Richard and Karen Carpenter) probably originally recorded in the 1970's. Unfortunately Karen is no longer with us; she had the voice of an angel. Richard wrote the music ajnd orchetrations, and Karen did the vocals.

Esperanza Spalding set the bar real high. She, like Stevie Wonder, revisits the African-American spirit that was prevalent during the Civil Rights movement and shortly thereafter. Her ascent represents progress in the best way. I'm not really sure she has too many equals in today's Black music. And she will probably never use the N-word in any of her lyrics unless she is doing some serious teaching.

@NKairsoft1 but autotune sucks ass compared to talkboxing. At least talkboxing requires the player to mouth the lyrics and play well at the same time

Great! But one technical question, how are we able to hear the sound without a microphone at stevies mouth?
Electroacha 11 months ago
@Electroacha the signal is fed thru an amp and is very loud and too loud can vibrate your skull! seriously..so he just mouths or whispers the words around the sound and there you have it. so its kinda like having a loud amplifier put into a tube and into your mouth..there is a mic there..but he doesn't have to be up on it because of the volume of it..you want to be close to it but didn't necessarily have to in this case.

@alphaqnow yeah thats what I thaught too. In fact I couldn`t find another explanation. I was just surprised, I mean, the mic gots to have a really defined characteristic to not absurb too much from the noise around. Anyway, just wondering, cause I`d like to get a talkbox too, and if there was like a self-recording type of talkbox (which technically sounds pretty ridiculous, I know) it would have saved myself a lot of recording difficulties. so thanks anyway

I've tried to use a Talk Box in the past with my guitar and keyboard but unfortunately putting that tube in my mouth made me vomit each time, which I regret because I really love that sound.

With the weight he is carrying he is a prime candidate for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis and many other ailments associated with being overweight. My intentions are not to hurt Stevie, but with the sudden passing of Michael Jackson almost two years ago and the sudden passing of Teena Marie this past holiday, I want to make sure that my idol is around for a long, long time.
