Electro-Harmonix Voice Box Darrin Thorsteinson "Feel the Feeling"

This is an experiment I did with the Electro-Harmonix Harmonizer/Vocoder...the female-sounding backup vocals and harmonies were also done with the preset harmonies on the EH 256-band Harmonizer/Vocoder. I am using an old Casio SK-1 sampling keyboard to control
the vocoder, and a Shure Beta 58 mic for the vocals and the formant control of the EH Harmonizer/Vocoder. It was my first experience ever using a vocoder, and it was incredibly simple to use.

I was impressed with the performance of the new EH device and I highly recommend it for home recording and/or live performances.
It is a high-quality device and tracks very well, and it was designed by the same person at EMS who made vocoding famous.

This was recorded on a BOSS BR1600CD unit, and the "Seinfeld" sounding bass was provided by a preset on the Yamaha DTXPressIII
electric drum kit. I used a 1981 Ibanez musician guitar (direct, no amplifier) and utilized the built-in guitar effects on the BOSS recorder.

This was written, arranged, performed and recorded by me in my living room over the course of about 2 hours. The song just kinda wrote itself

I've got that Boss 16-track...Also unboxed my ancient tape-based ADAT and Mackie mixer and hooked them up recently, and was ASTONISHED to find that the ADAT fired up no problem and operates perfectly! Now all I need is YOUR talent, LOL! That Eyes song you did; I'm thinking of trying to replicate another of their songs. My Daisy Rock 12-string is ready when I am....

@gwugluud Thanx man! god news about yer ADAT....now git yer butt in gear and make some music buddy!!!!

[gwugluud]

@econoroller , Yeah, really! I'm off on my own...not a lot of Eyes, Troggs, Sex Pistols or Ramones fans to jam with in this small town, and it's tricky to record all trax myself. Also I've got the most nauseating, excremental singing voice, but there's no one but me to DO any vocals! xD

[econoroller]

@gwugluud We are our own worst critics aren't we!!! I use a metronome (click) track, and then erase it after I've laid down either drums, git, bass, or all of them. On the Eyes tune I recorded while their version played back to me...when I laid MY tracks, I erased theirs :) Those Boss machines make it really easy....And hey if ya want something done right, ya do it yerself right? JUST DOOOO EEEET ha ha ha aha!!!
