Midiworks wrote:Hi Hink,
To do vocals can be really a pain some times...
I was doing this for years, before vst.

Maybe this helps you:
Voxformer, was a great buy, use it.
AutoTune, use it very carefull,
the moment you can hear it, its too much.
This is all you really need, the rest is cosmetics.

Choirs are a different pair of shoes...
There is nothing vst wise out there atm.
The best I found is the "Digitech Vocalist"
Its hardware only and no formant shifting...
But it still does the job better than any other tool.
Oh, I just checked !
They did new versions WITH formant shifting now !!!
But discontinued already.
You can still get them tho:

btw, those were the first AutoTunes ever !
Auto tuning was rather a side effect... but it worked !
(ca.1987-1992)

I hope my writing was usefull for you,
now have fun and make some nice music !

Cheers
Rene

I did delete a few parts that should be kept between Rene and myself...but it was not anything negative and again it's appreciated...thanx Rene...

Earlier than the Digitech Vocalist was the IPS-33b intelligent pitch transposer which also featured pitch correction, in fact you could have it do over correction, or pitch mirroring as they called it, where if you play sharp itll play flat and the opposite, great for practicing intonation.

i still have 2 of em hehehe.

what i would like to see is a harmonizer/pitch corrector than can use a harmony map, a note by note assignment of transpose intervals, like the vocalist and ips-33b could.

with auto-tune it can learn the pitch from midi or follow a midi score, provided your software will midi cntrol of fx....I used midi-ox in Sonar...

I changed the topic title to anounce,
TripplerX whitch will replace DuosX.

TripplerX
while playing with the old one,
I thought 1 doubled voice left and 1 on the right, would be nice.
Thats what TripplerX is all about.

Hit a button and add a 2nd doubled voices to your main voice.
Release the button and its a normal doubler again.

Still with adjustable random and input variation for
timing, pitch and vibrato depth.

Also 2 more outputs will be added for even more control.

Should be ready soon.

Found it, and its DigiTech too !

Everybody always talked about Eventide,
But for me DigiTech are the masters.

sorry...don`t mean to sound like an asshole...but those demo mp3`s sound like hell!
Whats all that rumble shit going on in those...was that recorded on an old "wollensac" tube reel to reel?

Midiworks · Post by **Midiworks** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 10:12 pm

annode, I agree but I didnt had any other voice take than my daughters voice...

The ones I found on the net were even worse and always with FX.
As soon as I have a better take, I change them.
Anyone up for the task here ?
Anybody sing ?

It was a $5 Pc mic she used...

Im actually working on some vocals right now and these would be *very* handy to have. When can we get some demo versions?

Midiworks · Post by **Midiworks** » Sat Feb 11, 2006 8:47 pm
