2243.0. "Vocal Effects Processing - Howzit Done?" by DYO780::SCHAFER (Brad - boycott hell.) Fri Jan 19 1990 11:25

    Okay - I've heard about as many of these cheezy soundpage winners as I
    can take.  Anyone get the latest Keyboard rag?  Anyone listen to the
    soundpage contest winners?  Anyone else as unimpressed as I was? 

    There is one thing that intrigues me, though ... the "Bad Jazz" tune
    has some real weird vocal effects/processing that goes on.  I think
    that the b-b-b-b-b-a-a-a-ad-bad-bad-bad stuff is probably sampled, but
    I can't for the life of me figure out how the rest of it's done, other
    than with a sampler ... and I can't imagine sampling *all* those
    vocals. 

    Howdie dooit?  Any ideas?

	pitch shift? i didn't hear it tom
2243.2	or maybe noone cares	DYO780::SCHAFER	Brad - boycott hell.	`Fri Feb 02 1990 12:36`	3
	Boy. Maybe nobody knows how it was done. -b
2243.3	No sound page in this months National Lampoon	CSC32::MOLLER	Nightmare on Sesame Street	`Fri Feb 02 1990 13:15`	7
	I don't get the magazine. The only one I read is EM. I find that KEYBOARD and GUITAR PLAYER (and other like magazines) have too much that doesn't interest me. I'd suspect pitch shifting is being used in some manner (it's common to find songs where a touch being used these days). Maybe you are thier only subsciber. Jens
2243.4	dare I admit it?	MIDI::DAN	Dan Gosselin, CUP Engineering	`Fri Feb 02 1990 13:24`	3
	Maybe nobody (like me) has a record player anymore... Dan (who_has_gone_almost_strictly_CD)
2243.5	i'd like to hear those winners sometime	HPSRAD::NORCROSS	Things change.	`Fri Feb 02 1990 13:26`	7
	I received the soundpage and would like to listen to it and comment - but I don't have a record player. I prefer Keyboard Magazine to Electronic Musician, but get them both anyway (rathole alert). /Mitch
2243.6	good for long sample times, too	SWAV1::STEWART	As a matter of fact, it's all dark	`Fri Feb 02 1990 14:16`	14
	I don't get that one, either, but is it possible that the effects units were razor blades and tape? Lot of possibilities, there... John
2243.7		MILKWY::JANZEN	Tom 228-5421 FXO/28	`Fri Feb 02 1990 14:28`	3
	If someone sends me the record I'll listen to it and tell you what it was. I've used all the known effects in my performances. Tom
