Sweet Vocoder?

Hi
As stated in this forum many times:
The Evoc is able to produce the vocoder effect.
But more robotic, than sweet.
So what´s the alternative.
I´ve tried the Orange Vocoder with Cubase a long time ago.
That was hard work too. (But maybe?)
And Reason is cumbersome as it is really not an audio app.
Auto Tune is not a vocoder, so I´ll count that out.
I know it´s a matter of skill and experience, finding the right balance between
the carrier (a synth) and the modulator (the voice)....And finding the right carrier,
the right pad sound, or whatever.
But so far I have only been 87% satisfied with my results.
Is there a hardware solution?
BTW. I seem to remember, from reading an interview, that the "Cher" effect
was originally made in Cubase, with the aid of hardware. And not Auto Tune.

Oh god, not again. It was Autotune, get over it. Not only was this clearly obvious to anybody who had Autotune, and who knew about how vocoders work and sound, but the producers in that original interview even admitted after the fact that they lied, and it was in fact Autotune.
That over with - vocoders, more than anything, are extremely sensitive to the carrier and modulator. Select those sounds carefully, and compress both to hit the sweet spot, and you may be surprised at how good the EVOC can be. But it's a complex and not entirely intuitive plugin, for sure...

  • I bought iphone 4 from friend and he said he had dropped it in sweet tea at the top and it moved down to home button and now home button don't work how can i fix it? this happend long ago

    ok i bought an iphone 4 from a friend he told me the story about it saying he had a glass of sweet tea with a little bit left, and he had dropped the phone in there upside down and it completely screwed up the phone and it was freaking out. after a while he said it all went away as if nothing happened but now the home button doesn't work so is there a way to fix the home button without taking it apart or sending it somewhere to get fixed?

  • How do I get the robotic vocoder sound using evoc - Kraftwerk style?

    I've setup evoc according to the manual,
    and I get it to vocode,
    but it doesn't sound very 'robotic',
    at least not compared to Kraftwerk.
    Does anyone have the details,
    e.g. what evoc ps sound should I use,
    how should I change the default parameters,

    The trick here is to go low, and monophonic (don't play chords). What you are after is basically a one-wave osc as your synth sound to be used in the evoc. Straight up square or saw wave played low in pitch with an open filter should give you the results you are looking for. Mess about with the formant width and shift to get it timbraly where you want. I've noticed that the evoc can be a little quiet, so you may need to boost the signal a bit.

  • Buying new videocamera for a sweet sixteen. What is best one?

    I am planning on buying a new video camera for my sisters sweet sixteen. I wanted to know what camera would be best to buy that would work easily with the new mac computors and with imovie editing. I would like to buy something that has good quality, ease of use, but not too expensive. The most i would spend is around 400- 500. I also dont know what kind of camera would be best, tape, card? PLease help im confused. Thanks!

    Hello, tinydancer87,
    I think you would be very happy with a nice camcorder in your price range that is very easy to use:
    iMovie uses DV tape footage, so I would stick with that. Otherwise, you have to deal with trying to change the format, and may lose quality.
    Look at the Sony DCR HC-28 or 38, mini DV camcorders. They are smallish, easy to use, integrate well with iMovie (need no software). I have used the HC-30 and 26, these others are just upgrades.
    Be sure that the DV input port supports video IN and OUT so you can import and export your movies. Buy good quality miniDV tapes...the Sony brand is fine. Get the 60min, not 90, more durable. Buy more than you think you need, just in case!
    Now, just pop in a tape, record your event, hook up the camcorder to your computer via Firewire and import!
    For help with creating iMovies, have a look at some of Apple's tutorials here
    Have fun!

  • Vocoder Problems (Mainstage 2)

    Hi everyone - I'm just getting into MIDI music cretion and purchased Mainstage to help accomplish this in a live setting.  I'm having problems getting the Vocoder to work though.  I've read through some of the posts in this forum and tried looking at articles online, but I'm afraid I'm too much of a noob to even understand that.  I was wondering if anyone could walk me through how to get it working like in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmRSyVrimL0) that would super helpful.  Thanks in advance!

    Can you give me some idea where your understanding breaks down? I could repeat parts of the manual, but that may not be helpful.

  • How do I get rid of 'sweet page' after having used malware softw., reestablishing firefox as hyperlink, rebooting ?

    It is not the described ''sweet pack' but 'sweet page' - presents itself as search engine - supposedly from the Netherlands. I have run malwarebytes anti-malware - no malware found - I reestablished mozilla as hyperlink - rebooted twice - didn't help, it keeps popping up whenever I try t open a new tab.
    must have happened when I updated Java from the Java homepage.
    How can I get rid of that? Thank you very much for your efforts, with kind regards
    Irene Fritz

    There's also a separate, hidden setting for new tabs:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
    * ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
    * ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
    * ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
    * ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
    Two gotchas:
    * If Firefox ignores the setting, one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page:<br><br>orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > ''in the left column click'' Extensions
    * If the change works for the rest of your session but at the next startup is back to the unwanted page, you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    Any luck?

  • BBE Sonic Sweet Plug-In in Logic Pro 9?

    I just recently bought the BBE Sonic Sweet Plug-In, and I installed the AU 64-bit version onto my Mac, but I can't seem to figure out how to add it to my list of AU Plug-ins in Logic Pro 9. Any chance that someone could help me out here?

    Does the installed BBE plug-in show up in your Library>Audio>Components folder?
    Have you checked to see that it's listed and successfully validated here: Logic menu (just left of the Apple menu)>Preferences>Audio Units Manager?
    So you're using Logic 9.0.0?
    I'd contact NomadFactory tech support about you're issue.  You'll probably need to either download the latest version of the BBE and/or update you're version of Logic.

    Ok so here's the problem. I wanted to try the all new After Effects Sweets beta but when I try to open the file it just comes up with the error in the title. I am on a MacBookPro running Mavericks. Has anyone else had this problem?

    You don't open a jsx file, you run it from the File>Scripts menu. Give that a try.

  • Sweet spot MacPro line for CS?

    Dear Group,
    Since i got a suddenly dead G5 too, I'm suddenly wondering which MacPro
    might be the sweet spot for CS4 performance, now, and CS5. I'm just a typical photoshop user ranging from web to layered 300 MB files. I've been out of the loop on improvements because i was content with my G5, tho it had its limitations of course.  Any advice is welcome, thanks.

  • Sweet pea error 48 :: 58 on AE update 12.2.1

    I have a Oct 2013 top spec MBP (2.6 i7, 16Gb RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB) running OS X 10.9.2.
    Every time I try to update AE I get Sweet pea error 48 :: 58 when trying to open AE.
    Every time I try to un-install AE using the CC app, it says that AE is still installed and I can't re-install it.
    The only thing I can do to get back to where I was with the previous version is to use my Time Machine restore.
    I pay for the CC service and would really like to make use of the latest AE CC features.
    I'm also running the CC app - 1.5.0.367
    Any help out there?!
    Many thanks,
    Jack

    This is a Quicktime issue because Apple removed a specific QT component in 10.9.2. There's a thread on this in the AE forum and possibly also one in the premiere forum. To reinstall run the cleaner tool.

    when i run this code it causes exceptions at its own sweet locations when i run it separately.if once it displays some valid input it would then be followed by the exception
    next time if i run it it will throw exception as soon as i run it at the very start without displaying even an iota of valid data like the previous case
    is ti because the os is placing restrictions on the threads growth or something else.incase there is an error in my code it should atleast pop up the exceptions at one particular loaction in the output and not give different outputs

    1) When you post code, please use and tags as described in Formatting tips on the message entry page. It makes it much easier to read.
    wasnt aware of it.will keep it in mind i post nexttime.sorry for the inconvenience[\b]
    3) You have multiple threads, right? The scheduling of which thread gets how much CPU time when is not subject to your control or prediction, so of course you'll see different timings in subsequent runnings of the same code.[b]actually the problem is not with multiple threads showing different times.whats happening is that exceptions are being thrown randomly at runtime.once when i ran it the exception was displayed at the very beginning of the output and the program snapped.next when i ran it first some output which was slated to be displayed got displayed and then the exceptions appeared in the output.now if the exceptions are thrown at the very beginning its obvious theres some problem at the background coz in the second case that never happened[\b]
    i guess the formatting tips have taken effect[:D]

  • Illustrator CC touch interface is pretty sweet but....

    Illustrator's new touch interface could use a layers palette and way to ouline strokes, among other things. Check out InkPad and iDraw for iOS. Both have more tools than Illustrator's touch interface even though they have fewer tools overall. Still, the touch interface is pretty sweet and i really like it, a lot!

    I second that - cheers to Adobe for rolling out Draw, and Line and Photoshop Sketch for iPad and a job well done on a smart, great looking UI.
    I'm still working through this, but if I have this right lines in Draw are brought into Illustrator as filled shapes, as I was told, much like Illustrator's blob draw tool. That's fine, but in Line and PS Sketch, the lines do come into Illustrator not only as strokes, but as you might expect, with custom width profiles along with them. It would be great if you had the option of doing this with Draw, too.
    regards,

  • Sweet Midi Player + Mavericks

    "This version currently doen't work with Mavericks...We hope that the next update of Mavericks will solve the problem."
    Does Mavericks 10.9.3 solves issues with this piece of software???
    Thanks!

    10.9.3 is still Mavericks it still means the same thing.
    Have you visited the site like it says in the App Store, the version outside the store may work with 10.9?

  • Frickin' sweet feature part II

    Hey everybody,
    check this out......Suzanne has outdone herself again. When will she stop and where will it all end.
    http://www.11mystics.com/blog/
    See in the right sidebar menu? The accordian menu? She has it in Wordpress. Someone w/ the smarts needs to do a tutorial on gettin' this into iWeb!!!!!!!!! This is such a sweet feature.
    http://www.11mystics.com/blog/
    Here is another example (wordpress also): http://www.insidestretch.com/
    Anyway....notice how the menu collapses and expands.
    I know of 2 sites that put out the javascript pkg that does this:
    1) http://script.aculo.us/
    2) http://www.mad4milk.net/entries/mooflex
    But how to get this to work (especially in iWeb) is another matter. We need a tutorial. Someone step up to the plate.
    j'wock
    PS: anyone else think this is as cool as I do?

    It's actually public knowledge... one of the magazines wrote about the upcoming features and the ability to insert code was one of them. I believe they were quote "probable" features as in, nothing was for sure, but... likely. I can't remember which mag it was, but perhaps you can Google it?
    Alice I have your accordion menus workin in iWeb now. You can view the demo here:
    http://web.mac.com/sboben/iWeb/11Mystics/Accordion.html
    I could not get this working at first - perplexed me - thought maybe .Mac didn't allow exterior calls to scripts or even the .php extension on one of the files but then I realized they have an onLoad on the body tag so I had to place one of the calls after that.
    Dang cool and you can do it in iWeb! :-O
    I'm writing the instructions, but any smartypants can figure it out by looking at the HTML code. You need the files (on your own server please), you need to insert the scripts into the head area of the HTML, the gutters.php has to go after your body tag - I put it after the </HTML> tag. Doesn't matter. Then your menu has to have two elements: titles for the different sections and divs that contain the content. You will see that I have class identifiers on the section titles and the divs. The divs also need absolutely uniqe ID's. Please note the CSS I inserted at the top as well. It produces the pointer/hand cursor when you roll-over the section titles.
    I'll post here when the documentation is complete.
