Reason 4 Tutorial on Vocoder By The Beatmaking Housewife

A vocoder, is an analysis / synthesis system, mostly used for speech in which the input is passed through a multiband filter, each filter is passed through an envelope follower, the control signals from the envelope followers are communicated, and the decoder applies these (amplitude) control signals to corresponding filters in the (re)synthesizer.

@ richpickins

When you say mix what you do you mean really?

Like a DJ mix or an engineer mix?

[asianallstar24]

Thank you!! Thats a Dwele sample isnt it?

[misslaidlaw]

Sure is

[Bardockcloud]

help please when i try this when i hit a key it starts at the beging of the vocal sample how do i fix this?

[misslaidlaw]

When you strike a key it will always start at the begining of the sample, unless you instruct it to do otherwise. If you want to shorten your samples so when you hit a key it starts at a different place. I would say use RECYCLE and chop your sample there, save it and bring it up in the rex machine or nnxt

Good tutorial. No waffle, straight to the point, well explained and simple to understand. Thank you.

So thats what that thing does? It is one part of Reason 4 that has always mystified me, the clarity of your demonstration has made all the rest history. I think a lot I have watched before are a bit muddled, too fast, unclear, this is nice and clear. Why don't you live right next door?

great tutorial :D

[sicbrick]

Great thanks a lot :)

Wow, you explained this so much better than everyone else! You should have seen the look on my face when it finally worked. :D

@reticulianoverlord Ah, I figured it out. In my version, I used the Thor as the carrier. What I did is right click on the Thor, and click "Create New Track For Thor" and it creates a separate track for the carrier in which you can change the notes.

[reticulianoverlord]

@femalebeatmakers Argh. Autotune. I don't really like the idea of autotune, but I understand I need it if this needs to be done. I just wish I could keep the entire vocode process on Reason.

[femalebeatmakers]

@reticulianoverlord

If you have Record. I think you can use the Autotune on that to change the notes to match the song. Other than that.. I am not sure how you can change it. If someone else is viewing this they might be able to answer your question.

[reticulianoverlord]

I need some help with this. Is there any way to vary the carrier sound (in terms of notes) but keep the modulater on the same note? I want to vocode a sample for a song, and vary the notes of the carrier so it matches the notes of the song, but I don't want the vocals to start from the beginning every time I trigger a new note. Any help please?

@richpickins one way to do this would be to create 5 NN-19 samplers, load the songs (you'll have to convert them to WAV) as a sample (1 per NN-19), and on the sequencer, use the pencil tool to draw a note trigger for each NN-19 (keep it at C3). Manage their volumes with the mixer. You will not be able to edit individual parts in each song this way. To do that you would need the songs in their Reason file formats as well as the sounds themselves. Hope that helps.
