Need help with a weird audio effect -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Need help with a weird audio effect Posted by: googleman Date:11/25/2001 5:35:19 PM Hi, In the group Daft Punk's "One More Time" song, whenever the singer says "one more time," there's a cool audio effect that makes his voice sound robotic or something. It's hard to explain, thus, you'd probably have to hear the voice to understand what I'm saying. I've heard the effect in all sorts of different songs. I'd love to figure out how to do that effect. If anybody knows a program that could accomplish this and would give me some hints, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance for the help, matt Also, http://www.virginrecords.com/daft_punk/index2.html Go here, click preview on the upper right corner of screen, then click play. the sound quality is pretty bad, but you can somewhat hear the voice effect. It's the same effect from the Cher song that goes: Do you believe/ In life after love?/ The effect is on the second half of "believe"
Subject:Vocoder Reply by: Styrerra Date:11/25/2001 10:30:26 PM Their called vocoders. Do a search on Cnet for some demos. Basically takes two signals (carrier and modulator) and puts them togeter. But you can use anything in place of the voice to modulate the carrier (instrument).
Subject:RE: Vocoder Reply by: ljackson Date:12/12/2001 5:39:24 PM Ditto - a vocoder does most of the work on the Daft Punk track. If you have a piece of hardware that does vocoding (I use our t.c. electronic FireworX), just feed your vocal track into the Modulator input and the output of a synth into the Carrier input. Play the synth in realtime along with the vocals, and record the results. Mix this with dry vocals if you want to "dilute" the robotic nature a bit.
