What are your vocal techniques?

Postby TheLydeOctave » 31 Mar 2014 00:07

I love messing around with melodyne and any effect in fl studio to get a unique and cool sounding vocal effect. Anyone who also is a robotic-voice lover like me, what are your techniques, or what do you like to do? What do you use to give cool effects such as reverb, flanger, harmonizing, panning, etc? I love learning new things like that, and I'd love to see what you guys do!
Also, what singing techniques do you use to get a certain sound? (whether it be pronouncing words differently, emphasis, or just plain talking in the microphone)
I'd love to know

In Newtone, I like to copy the audio like two or threes octaves down and play with the velocity of the high and low layers to get a weird robotic sound.

Since I can sing in a bass register, singing way down low and using vocal fry sounds cool when pitched up, and slapping a phaser on there can be kinda fun too

Bitspeek is a cool plug-in too. :3

Sometimes, I use bitspeek to layer my vocals. I usually have one in unison and one an octave down. Sometimes adding a vocoder to harmonize with that can work too.

I usually just mess with random knobs in FL Studio's Vocodex, plus doing some heavily processed harsh vocals in my stuff. Example of both are here:

On the off chance that you're interested, I could give try whipping up a quick tutorial on how to do them (That goes for anyone interested, really)

In Melodyne I mostly just make harmonies with my vocals, then in FL I put them all in seperate mixer tracks, pan them until I like the sound, then add just a little bit of reverb and a tiny bit of delay.
I rap, make teh electronics, and try to be br00tz.

Vocal sustain + vocoder + saw carrier. Then add a little EQ to make room for the sub and high end instruments and you've got a pretty neato vocoded bassline. Adding a little overdrive can make it sound really nice too.
