Sound Design Tutorial: Making Monster Voices

[SPS148669]

I wa so laughing so hard

[Greenjah81]

Yeah that's pretty cool, but nothing really new in my opinion. No offense.

[Sameg2010]

Where can i get the same or similar vst plug? idon't know...

[dodgeyness]

Anyone know how to do this in Logic Pro ?

[Ephensity]

brilliant :-)

[Naoumish]

I found a way to do something similar under logic pro by putting an "EVOC 20 TrackOscillator" insert onto the audio track you want to vocalise, then selecting "SideCh" under the "Sythesis in" section on the left. On the top right corner of the plugin, select your mic or control audio track. The only limitation I can see is that it seems to high cut everything over 8khz, but I guess you can just send the high end to an auxiliary...

[Aquarius199]

Wish I had that technology, which I don't. So I can't do it. :(

[Tand0oriCh1cken]

@Aquarius199 I don't have that technology and I can do by spending zero money.

[Tazio01]

@Tand0oriCh1cken

Please enlight me cause I cant find an FM plug ins that allows me to use samples or audio input as carrier or modulator.

Thanks

[Tand0oriCh1cken]

@Tazio01 I use a free vst called vOcOv2, it lets you choose whatever carrier or modulator you want by using an insert on that channel, you can use a just an audio file(s) or another free vst sampler called HighLife to use with it, that's I got it to work. :)

[Tazio01]

@Tand0oriCh1cken

Thanks a lot for sharing but unfortunately those are Pc only and I am a Mac user plus I use Pro Tools or Logic so no vst allowed either :(

[Tand0oriCh1cken]

@Tazio01 Oh that sucks, I don't know any Mac compatible plugins to do this.

[Tazio01]

@Tand0oriCh1cken

I found out a way with Vokator from NI ;)

[44danoc]

I have Melodyne just gotta figure out how to use it. but I use Audacity to do the Male to female and vice versa it's really cool

[44danoc]

Hey Jim how do I make from my male voice into a female voice effect? I would like different textures that can go with film.

[silenzya]

@44danoc Try Melodyne. Perfect for this or Ircam TRAX. Both have 1 month demo

[silenzya]

Melodyne . Perfect or Ircam TRAX

[FFS1NICO]

ithorian.

[laughingcrows]

thumbs up

Hey Jim, really cool stuff but I missed how your voice was shaping the dog sound. Could you do another one of these? Maybe a monster howl or something? Thanks

[SeanMontie]

@laughingcrows

He used a vocoder. Youtube has plenty of video's showing how to use a vocoder.

[AngelicalOrABeat]

@SeanMontie

yeah the problem is that a normal vocoder doesn't usually modulate an audio file, but a synthesized signal... this seems to be a peculiarity of the roland v-synth GT, I don't know any plug-in able to do that! do you? you'd be a life saver!

[SeanMontie]

@AngelicalOrABeat What do you mean? I know the vocoder in Ableton can modulate any clip from any track you wish. It could be recorded audio, live audio, or a synth being triggered. But I'm sure you can do the same with Logic, probably even Reason's vocoder.

[AngelicalOrABeat]

@SeanMontie

That's the point, actually. You can't import an audio clip and modulate/trigger it on Logic's ore Reason's vocoder, I use them a lot, and I didn't find any way to do it. You can only trigger classic waveforms (sines, saws,etc) and do some advanced spectral anaysis. But I am stuck with version 7 of ableton, I haven't done the upgrade yet, so I didn't know that the new vocoder could do it, thank you very much for the suggestion!

[SeanMontie]

@AngelicalOrABeat I'm a little confused still about what you are saying.

Technically you don't import audio into a vocoder per say, really you route/sidechain audio to a vocoder. And every vocoder that I know of works essentially the same way. You have a carrier signal and a modulation signal. Instead of me making a video showing how to do it with Logic, I found one that explains it very well.

Check this out: /watch?v=UE6ucYnTde4

Let me know though if this helps. Cheers.

[AngelicalOrABeat]

@SeanMontie

Thank you for the link man, but probably what I was trying to say wasn't so clear (my fault, english is not my first language!). I knew that you can't load clips in a vocoder per se, but this is the point: Logic's vocoder, and almost all vocoders are basically synths with a sidechain input. The audio that you send into this input will modulate the synth, giving that classic sound. But Jim here is not modulating a waveform generated by the synth engine, he is modulating a SAMPLE

[AngelicalOrABeat]

@AngelicalOrABeat

loaded from his personal sound fx library, so basically he is modulating an audio sample with and audio input (his voice), and not a synth with an audio input. And logic's vocoder can't do that. It could do that if it was a sampler and not only a synth. Anyway, I just upgraded Ableton and its vocoder is not a synth but just an effect which can do a sort of bridge with every kind of source, so now I can modulate a sampler (with horse, dog, tiger noises) with my voice!

[AngelicalOrABeat]

@SeanMontie

Maybe NI's Vokator?

[135powerfulchristian]

whoa sweet!

[marqqq777]

how to do this in cubase?...what vst I have to use ?

[TallmanMike]

This is very interesting stuff, how would I go about setting up a vocoder system for amateur film making?

I don't have a mac, alas.

[Kinor7]

I've always wanted to do this. This is so freakin' awesome. Thanks!

[timmytapeworm13]

Can this be done with Logic's Vocoder specifically?

[timmytapeworm13]

This can be done with any vocoder?

[SeanMontie]

@timmytapeworm13 yep

[davidgtr]

VERY COOL Thanks
