Benny and the Jets

I don't know what happened, but my mouth and the words aren't lining up now....

This is my version Benny and the Jet by Elton John sung through Autotune. Again with a Lexicon Omega, recorded on Cubase LE, mic is a Marshall MXL 2006 condensor. This time I used a slideshow of the kids during the instrumental portions. The music is a karaoke version downloaded here on YouTube. Enjoy

i have mxl 2001 and i have problem with is cuz it picking up the room noise i dont knw if from the mic or the interface (fast track m-audio

plz help

[blazeracer1]

That's not a problem. That's how good that mic is. This is why studios have soundproof booths for singing in, so there is no ambient noise to pick up. I have to turn off everything in the room when I use mine and listed to the music through the headphones.

Question. How did you connect the MXL USB microphone into the Lexicon Omega? Or is the microphone plugged directly into the computer?

[blazeracer1]

The MXL is not a USB Mic. It's a balanced XLR mic with phantom popwer and plugs directly into the Omega. I wouldn't use a USB mic for singing.

Dude you sound like freakin T-Pain. XD

But seriously, I think vocoding is a cheap way out of not singing. You should at least try to sing for real. But I do have to say that Vocoding sounds kinda cool on this song

[blazeracer1]

I have a few songs of my own that are originals that don't use Autotune at all. The whole idea I've been playing in all the videos I have posted was to get the T-Pain sound on non hip hop songs, just to have fun with it.

I'll have my own songs posted when the copyrights all go through.
