Hey, anyone who can coax Giorgio Moroder and Niles Rogers out of semi-retirement is all right by me...

Because they use autotune. Everything with autotune turns into gold pressed latinum.

You've never heard of autotune?

dusted william · Post by **dusted william** » Thu Jan 30, 2014 12:48 am

yeah, I have. But I've never heard a song where they used autotune. I admit, I have not heard all their songs.

I figure they use mostly talkboxes, and a little vocoder.

@DW:

Ok, please don't get mad at me, but I had a chuckle

It may be achieved one of many ways, but calling it "autotune" or the "cher" effect isn't far off.

Anyways, I was just playing around, but it's true that they use that a lot.

I kinda like this Niles Rogers/who ever that guy is thing. It's stuck in my head. I hate it when that happens.

hehe,

it's ok

I just think you're completely wrong when people say it's talkbox when it's really a talkbox.

talkbox
vocoder
and autotune are three totally different things.

Very, very, very different!

This is probably the only time I would ever be "that guy", but I can't help it

that's just me being anal about this

Really? It all sounds like this to me

on a serious note, I think they are using autotune or some kinda pitch correction.

no, I thought the same thing, totally different effects. Peter Frampton would choke you with a rubber hose if you called his talkbox an autotune effect, and rightfully so.

I can't say I ever recognized a talkbox being used by Daft Punk (but it's possible), but I'm pretty sure they use autotune (or one of it's incarnations) and vocoders on their own and in combination.

However, it can be done without such FX:

(which is pretty awesome btw

Anyone who grew up in the 70's knows that's a talkbox. Their's is hooked up to a keyboard instead of a guitar though.
Frampton comes alive got quite wore out at my house...

Why I think Daft Punk Won The Grammies
