That Daft Punk Alive 2007 Effect

thr33m · Post by **thr33m** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 10:15 am

There is an effect in the Alive 2007 tracks that sounds like either massive tempo changes (downward) or beat repeat effects... I'm wondering how this is done?

Daft punk uses it a lot on the vocals in Alive 2007, anyone got any ideas...? I'm working on a beat repeat rack but no luck so far.

i know what your talkin bout. its a timestretch thingy.

i havent done it but try:

1. setting up an audio track with warp markers. warp in different modes to see how this affects (prob not re pitch though)

2. slow down tempo. A LOT

this could come close. if not, i know theres a timestretching trick in sampler, but i forgot how it works. i think it involves modifying start or end points of sample.

fuck you know what, you can maybe just put 2 warp markers in an audio loop. play, the start messing with the position of the 2nd marker. take it very far, take it very close. should work, but i dont think its automatable. actually pretty sure its not

good luck

hmm well it should be able to be done in Live as thats what they use
but it could be something maybe on the voyagers as dont they use that for fx? but yeah if its more tempo and beat repeat its probably in live

maybe one of the controls is set for the warping of the vocal track and they just adjust it according together with an effect?

excellent - never seen that before.

edit - that looks like the london gig - i was in that dome tent (the fender tent) just next to the fairground.

it was a happier time.

Where are the freaking cables?

All I see is powerplugs and mouses.

Haha wow! Awesome pic...I always wondered what they were doing up there...Seems like a very nobby set-up

4 voyagers!?

They double everything up for back up reasons, so really only 1 voyager each.

Is there anywhere to read that full article, besides the magazine of course.
