It’s kind of strange the way that vocoders are invariably described as being either futuristic or retro..! 😝

@Friek555 Жыл бұрын

I think that's because the second half of the 20th century was a time of optimism for the future, where all kinds of (more or less sensible) utopian ideas seemed possible. So futurism is a vibe that is now retro, because it peaked a generation ago. There's a subreddit about it, /r/retrofuturism

I felt shy like you about singing on my tracks. I happened to be working on a new track and after watching your video, it inspired me to record a short clip on my phone recorder, bring it into Bitwig's vocoder with a brass synth carrier. Adjust the filter, add some reverb. Instant vibe change. I love it.

Great video! Right now the best bang-for-buck analog vocoder in production is the VC340. I'm lucky enough to have an EMS 2000 but they only made 150 or so of them.... The Synton and Voice Seekers units are very nice but rare, for robotic/chunky sounds SVC350. VF11 has weak VCA's but that's the sound of "INTERGALACTIC"... If you have $5K you can get the MOOG or GRP

Cheez Oscar you re singing like an angel, at least at the beginning of the vid, later on - not so much, lol. But seriously for several minutes playing around with a vocoder plugin you've managed to create really nice beat. Sometimes it takes weeks for me to get something like that, and it doesn't sound that good at the end.

Great, great video! I never understood what vocoders were or how to use them. Thanks for this! PS - Nice work adding section titles in big bold letters (5:01) because it makes it really easy to jump back to listen to specific parts again. PPS - Can you explain what "formant" is? I've heard that in the context of a filter, but still don't fully understand what it means.

Hey! Honest question - when did you get into these types of products and being so obsessed about sound, gear and waves? I am just catching myself thinking about rhythms, synthesizers, music, frequencies probably 70% of the day. I am loving it, but I also see that it separates me from other people + connecting me to other people who share that interest. Sorry if this is too in depth!

I think that most people just route the syntherzisers into their main audio interface and have them play back in their monitors.

The hardware synths are cool, but you can achieve so many things in software format these days that they are nice-to-have, not essential. Plus, not everyone can afford this stuff and I don't like making content that's exclusive, I wanna be inclusive :)

Nice device but unfortunately as usual at Reason Studio they are greedy and it costs 109 euros, and neither launch price! A shame!!! Ovox by Waves (a very flexible and powerful vocoder) costs 29! I mean, ''dear'' Reason Studio, be more user-friendly and don't think just about money!!! 69 full with 49 euros as launch price would be HONEST. NOT TWICE. Their entire DAW (full of amazing devices) costs 399, how can A SINGLE plugin cost more than 1/4??? Com'on!!!

Hiya! Have you considered the 20 bucks subscription, with the discount code in the description? It's a low barrier to entry to see if it's interesting for you, no need to go for the high price option I think?

@nathanspark4876 2 жыл бұрын

@@OscarUnderdog sorry for the late reply my dear friend I love your video, especially because my main genre is Techno and you r Techno-oriented :) Anyway, I own Reason since 2.5 and I always paid for upgrades, so for me is a non-sense to subscribe, I already own 98% of the DAW... And my point was just that: At Reason Studio they totally forgot about loyal old customer, so I can understand this marketing tactic to push people on subs BUT for an already old customer is, I repeat, A TOTAL NON SENSE. Why should I pay every month for something I already own at 98%? For us would be HONEST to make a custom pricing for old users. All this is just because their extra devices are always expensive. If they were well priced I wouldn't be here complaining... So I stay happy with my Ovox (29!) euros and iZotope's Vocalsynth (49 euros) ...Those are honest prices...
