Editing Voices?

[BenedictHooves]

Hey everyone, aspiring brony musician here.

A lot of the current musicians out there (WoodenToaster, The Living Tombstone, etc) have pony voices in their songs. I'm just wondering if anyone could tell what kind of program I would need to get, or techniques I'd have to learn to be able to edit pony voices into my songs.

I don't mean just importing samples, I've got that down, haha I mean having the voices sutter and echo and tune them differently and stuff, something like this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBYGTEj7 ... re=related

If anyone can help me out, that'd be great! Thanks!

First off what program do you use?

[BenedictHooves]

I'm using FL Studio 10

Heres how I would do them:
The voice stutter (2 ways depending on what you mean by stutter) would be a compression sidechain or repeating a small portion of the vocal

The echo would simply be an echo plugin on the vocal bus, FL should come with one.

I could not tell you how to tune vocals in FL, I haven't used the program in a while.

Thanks! Just now I got dblue Glitch, which does... something along the lines of what I wanted. It'll be a lot of trial and error from here, though.

Glitch is a fantasic plugin! I suggest generating random patters to figure out new ways of manipulating and saving the ones you like, its worked really well for me like that.

[BenedictHooves]

Will do! Thanks!

A Pitch editing software is mainly what you're looking for in the cutting and note change. Image-line has one for Fl Studio called Newtone which works well enough. 3rd party wise Melodyne is also a really good software for that kind of stuff. As for the echo you're either talking about reverb or delay, both come with fl studio.

Vocoder is a really nice tool to get that robotic sound, like in Alex's 20 cooler remix, right before the drop when he says "We're getting 20% cooler"

Glitch is boss. The Gater and the Retrigger effects can get the "stutter" you're looking for.

Thanks everyone! I did some experimenting with Glitch and found it very useful

Will mess around with Vocoder a bit tonight and see where it goes.
