What is the carrier in a vocoder?

What is the carrier in a vocoder?

Carriers and modulators The carrier is the signal that is processed by the vocoder. It is usually a synth, but other common options include distorted guitar and orchestral timbres because the carrier requires a broad frequency spectrum in order for the vocoder to work its magic.

How do you use vocoder?

Vocoder on Vocals

  1. Load Vocoder on the track with your vocal material. You can either use a vocal sample or process a live vocal signal through a microphone.
  2. Create a MIDI track with the shortcut command Shift+CMD+T.
  3. Drop any synthesizer on the MIDI track.
  4. Create a new MIDI clip with the shortcut command Shift+CMD+M.

Do you need to be able to sing to use a talkbox?

“The Talk Box itself is no more complicated than a sixth grade science experiment,” says Pollack. “But effectively projecting the sound into your mouth and using your mouth to shape the sound exactly how you want it — that’s another story. Being able to sing using the Talk Box takes time and practice.”

How does a talkbox work?

The talk box is a simple device that drives an instrument’s sound through a tube into a person’s mouth. Movements of the mouth can then manipulate the sound to come out as decipherable words.

Is vocoder the same as Autotune?

Auto-Tune and vocoders are completely different animals, although both can be used creatively to impart an artificial, synthetic timbre to a singer’s voice. A vocoder requires two inputs: your voice and a “carrier,” typically a synthesizer waveform.

What is the best vocoder?

5 Best Vocoders: Speech Synthesizers

  • Korg microKORG.
  • Novation UltraNova.
  • Electro-Harmonix V256 Vocoder with Reflex-Tune.
  • Boss VO-1 Vocoder Effects Pedal.
  • Roland VP-03 Boutique Vocoder.

Is a talkbox Autotune?

Talkbox and Autotune are completely different effects. In the former sound of an instrument is modulated through a hose in the singer’s mouth, in the latter the frequencies of the singer’s voice are digitally manipulated, yet for many people they sound similar.

How does a talk box work?

What is the difference between the carrier and modulator?

A simpler setup mode where the carrier is a built-in Sytrus engine with the same vocoder presets as the Fruity Vocoder example in Part 1 of the tutorial. The modulator is the mic input routed directly into to the same mixer track as Vocodex.

How do I add a carrier mixer to vocodex?

Sidechain the Carrier Mixer track to the Vocodex track Open the Vocodex user interface Change the Modulator sidechain input number to 0. This is telling Vocodex that the modulator signal is coming from the same track that Vocodex is hosted on.

How do I use the vocodex modulator with Maximus?

The modulator is the mic input routed directly into to the same mixer track as Vocodex. Add Maximus with a De-esser narrow band preset. Change the settings as outlined in Part One: Step 6 Open the Vocodex user interface Change the Modulator sidechain input number to 0.

What is a voice modulator and how does it work?

The modulator takes your voice, finds the fundamental frequencies (important bits) of it, and converts them into levels of amplitude on a series of band pass filters (this is why some vocoders have different numbers of bands) – in general, the more bands available the more understandable your speech will be.
