Hi,

I need an advice on a voice/vocal track ebm/industrial style in Live 7.

How can I let the voice sound more darker/dangerous/slighty distorted/fancier in realtime?
Is there a free plugin for that or with Live 7 included?

Off topic: What hardware device (available) would do the effect, how?

The voice/vocal sounds from Skinny Puppy, Numb and old Leather Strip vocals should be a good starting point for me.

Thank you

grain delay with no feedback. Really short delay time. Adjust other variables to taste. Vocoder with noise as carrier- dunno about free ones tho'. Excessive compression. The grain delay can also be used as a pitch shifter. I use a rack of three grain delays to create a four voice choir singing an extended chord.

try this: use a combination of eq 8 or eq 3 or autofilter to create a telephone sound. after that put the dynamic tube or the saturator to distort it the way you like. you can even try redux for this - really mean!. now use a delay or reverb. i like the filterdelay for this kind of stuff. tweak your sounds by ear and have fun! cheers!

Hi Oddstep,

thank you. btw Very nice myspace site. I spent a good hour listening to your *let's say* very frisky voice tracks. Also the architecture photos from Cafe Concrete are very inspiring. Keep the good work coming!

thanks to the max. Ha ha frisky. If you have time check the cafe concrete site. I am really proud to be associated with them.

Cafe concrete looks interesting. Maybe I come around to Plymouth and have a look,when I'm back in London this autumn.

Thanks for the input

that is very much not what I expected after your initial post's references to Skinny Puppy and Numb.

Right. This is a commissional work for an art project. It is meant to be a easy dance club track in the beginning, which unfolds the artistic meaning in the end with the George W. Bush Samples.

Thanks for listing.
