I'm just finishing a track for a show - Carpenters - Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft, and have a new respect for Richard Carpenter's orchestrations - as in it's taken me three days so far, two bars at a time to pull out what each instrument and voice is actually playing - but that bits done. (I also wish they'd used a metronome as that would have made life much easier too - but that's just for me and the tempo track!)
I'm not into electro-music in any way so my VST folder has few effects type vocoders and the ones I've quickly downloaded, and fathomed out have left me a bit disappointed - so having gone through the free ones and found that they can use the amplitude of the keying signal to effect a synth sound, they can't really cope with formant following - like the old Sparky the Magic Piano and ELO's Mr Blue Sky. So now I'm going into the paid for versions - but there are so many to try.
Does anyone have a suggestion for one that can do the weird stuff in this song - from the Dalek like intro to the Sparky type sung stuff?
I don't mind paying - but downloading at random, waiting for emails for unlocking trials and then fighting with routing is killing me. Three hours this morning and no luck so far. Many of the ones getting good reviews are probably good for dance tracks, but useless for what I want!
Cheers Paul
