Wait, so you have the music recorded and you just need a vocalist?

If you do this, I ask you to drink four fingers of bourbon in preparation.

Can you implement said robot vocal and then send the music along. I'll forward it to T-Dog and ghostoffuffle. I'm listening now and it's fucking brilliant. steve.

It's exactly the kind of music you would expect.

fuffle has a perfect voice for it. T-Dog should throw down some bottom. So bad its good.

mk  ·  3558 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Awesome. Thanks buddy. I'm excited.

Do you think you could be the robot?

kleinbl00  ·  3558 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I have so many robots.

mk  ·  3558 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I'm all ears.

Actually, it needn't be a robot, so much as a robotic tweak of the freak. Can that be applied after the vocal track is laid down?

kleinbl00  ·  3558 days ago  ·  link  ·  

So long as the vocal track is isolated, yes, conditionally.

Conditionally because heavy effects require precise articulation or they sound garbled. One does not mumble if one is to cylon and it's best to be able to audition the effect.

we will make sure the vocals are isolated to a track. And perhaps even two tracks (although I know you could do that). One track of the normal vocals, and one track with the to-be-roboted vocals.

The whole project exists in Logic as multi-track. We'll lay the voices over it.

Yosemite borked the ability for Pro Tools systems using Pro Tools hardware to talk to Logic. I have Logic 9 but it won't even pretend to open anymore and according to Avid, 10 will be the same way for the forseeable future. I'm likely to need to jettison the PT card, which is kinda lame.

mk  ·  3558 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Oh yes yes.

thenewgreen  ·  3558 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I think all of the lyrics should be in the robot voice

kleinbl00  ·  3558 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Ha. Ha ha. The "robot voice."

Once more with feeling: I have so. Many. Vocoders. Shit, I have a Kyma with enough processors to do a thousand-band realtime vocode. It no longer even sounds like a robot at that point. You can do like talking harps and shit.

Try 6 minutes in if the link borks.

*a robot voice.

Cool video though. How many of us take for granted all the amazing sounds we here in music, film, tv etc?

ecib  ·  3558 days ago  ·  link  ·  

YES.

mk  ·  3558 days ago  ·  link  ·  

You said @ghostoffluffle@ is pretty busy irl atm?

Anyone else on Hubski have the pipes if he cannot?

Currently in Rapid City, SD on a weeklong cross country move. Thx for shoutout, I gotta hear this jam.

ghostoffuffle  ·  3555 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Got the track in my e-mail from TNG, but I won't be able to touch it for a while, or even listen until I have more reliable internet. Can't wait, though- love these lyrics.

Complexity  ·  3558 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Send me the music...

mk  ·  3558 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Btw, feel free to take liberties with the lyrics to make them work for you.

Also, the spoken track chorus is incorrect. It' should be "we're gonna get freaky" rather than "everybody get freaky". That part must be preserved.

Godspeed.

mk  ·  3558 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Excellent.

steve  ·  3558 days ago  ·  link  ·  

PM me a place I can send it.

steve  ·  3558 days ago  ·  link  ·  

sent. Thanks!

steve  ·  3558 days ago  ·  link  ·  

yes. I don't think we're against some added instrumentation - but we're also up against a deadline. Like... 11th hour type of thing. So we need a freaky vocalist like.... yesterday. Check your inbox. It's gonna get freaky.
