Both of them consume mammoth resources and don't seem very customizable; ultimately it would be great to have an olde-fashioned physical box.<BR/><BR/>I'm missing my effects processor, I think it's time to find another one. I need knobs that I can twiddle, and cables that I can plug into other things with knobs.Adam Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634565262440008573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32999748.post-16069590984751997482008-01-15T13:37:00.000-05:002008-01-15T13:37:00.000-05:00I've really only ever used a vocoder to process in...I've really only ever used a vocoder to process instruments, usually to render a rhythm loop unrecognizable (a lot of the crunchy-sounding rhythms on "The Commute").<BR/><BR/>I used the vocoder setting built into my little old Virtualizer effects unit but sadly, that fried itself not too long ago - too long in storage? A shame - it would have been the easiest way to do it on stage.<BR/><BR/>Logic Express didn't come with a vocoder. Maybe I'll keep an eye out for a used Warp Factory.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350304105638016890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32999748.post-66003573133532044902008-01-15T09:22:00.000-05:002008-01-15T09:22:00.000-05:00Oh yeah, "Love and Monsters," ahem.

I think "Mr. Blue Sky" is in there somewhere, too.<BR/><BR/>I did try to cover "Here is the News," but my ultra-new-wave softsynth keeps going out of sync.<BR/><BR/>Have you never done anything with a vocoder? I figured the full version of Logic would have come with one (I use a Pluggo vocoder, and have learned that there are good ways and bad ways to use it...plus it's a resource hog).Adam Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634565262440008573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32999748.post-54663733504353494902008-01-15T02:37:00.000-05:002008-01-15T02:37:00.000-05:00Ah, I always learn something.

"Mr Blue Sky" is silly but catchy as hell. And "Here Is The News" really is awesome, with that ultra-new-wave synth riff running through it. Funny that none of these modern electro bands have covered it...<BR/><BR/>Also, I think I have to write something that involves a vocoder.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350304105638016890noreply@blogger.com
