Hi:
If anyone is still watching this thread:
Is databaseaudio.com really dead?
I believe it had been the best site for free plugins (sorry, kvr-vst.com). Should I 1) peruse thirteen pages of this thread, or 2) somehow contribute to get databaseaudio.com back up and running, or 3) devote that energy to the database on kvr-vst, or 4) WHAT?
I am interested to hear from someone who knows what might be happening at databaseaudio.com or who has a pertinent answer to one of these four q's.
Thanks in advance.
J

I agree that databaseaudio is (was?) the best vst site going. I keep checking back in hope....maybe someone can take over and update it.

I think that databaseaudio, the pluginlist and others have now fallen by the wayside due to the overwhelming success of KvR.
Once the effects database on KvR gets fully populated, I think the transformation will be complete

as for the cher effect..

about 3 years ago, I met a protools operator who claimed to work on this song, he said it was autotune, and they had it set extreme as they were busy ironing out the bad pitches... Cher walked in the room and said "wow, that sounds fantastic, don't touch it!" and supposedly they were pleading "but....but...we're not done"

who knows I did not think it was *just* autotune, it has a vocoder quality.

My guess is that the truth exists somewhere between what I heard and what was said in this interview. People getting interviewed like to make everything seem self-created, intentional, and by-design, when in reality they were likely clicking the mouse while someone with authority was screaming "yes... no.... yes.. "

From the SOS interview with the producer of "Believe":

I played around with the vocals and realised that the vocoder effect could work, but not with the Korg -- the results just weren't clear enough. So instead, I used a Digitech Talker -- a reasonably new piece of kit that looks like an old guitar foot pedal, which I suspect is what it was originally designed for [see review in SOS April '98]. You plug your mic straight into it, and it gives you a vocoder-like effect, but with clarity; it almost sounds like you've got the original voice coming out the other end. I used a tone from the Nord Rack as a carrier signal and sequenced the notes the Nord was playing from Cubase to follow Cher's vocal melody. That gave the vocals that 'stepped' quality that you can hear prominently throughout the track -- but only when I shifted the the Nord's notes back a bit. For some reason, if you track the vocal melody exactly, with the same notes and timing, you hardly get get any audible vocoded effect. But I was messing about with the Nord melody sequence in Cubase and shifted all the notes back a fraction with respect to the vocal. Then you really started to hear it, although even then it was a bit hit-and-miss -- I had to experiment with the timing of each of the notes in the Nord melody sequence to get the best effect.

No Antares Autotune was harmed in the making of that track.

There's a very nice sounding phaser here....

As for Cher, my wife can sound just like her after some autotune. And she's better looking.

Hi:)

New here, but I'll be here ALOT. Really cool forum. I'm using Cooledit Pro 2.0, Win.2000. I have a track that consists of two voices only (talk, stereo 128kbps mp3) that was recorded using a digital telephone hybrid for the caller. The caller had a horrible telephone so I realize there's only so much I can do, but I'm looking for a suggestion as to which one of these plugs you all mention that might increase the gain and decrease the muddiness without adding alot of noise, if that's even possible. Normalizing...I dunno. Hard limiting...not sure if that really does it either. Any suggestions I appreciate. Thanks!:)

Welcome Rezzy.

Could you repost your question? It is better to start a new topic, then to ask such a specific question in an existing thread about freeware: your question is 'off topic', so a new topic will get more attention and more answers.

Sorry guys... I originally posted something about the Believe thing... I saw a program with the guy who engineered Believe demonstrating how he made it sound like that... They started off by taking out the highs and lows to make it more "phoney" then he said he used autotune and demonstrated the effect with chers actual vocal

after reading the stuff quoted above I was instantly "not so sure". I did see the clip though... Very strange.

[Rezzy]

Sure, sorry. I thought since I was asking for suggestions for a free vst plugin to use for a particular problem I was in the right spot. No worries, will comply.

Thanks!
