Yea. I think it just has to be laborious and futile. I'm pretty sure
its done by pitch shifting in a wave editing program. Perhaps if you
were savvy at such things you could write some program that would let
you use midi to control the pitch shifting, thus letting you use a
sequencer for the melodies. However, I'd guess its done manually
judging by the precision I hear in that song.
Moving on from the technical crap, I want to say that I think the new
Cylob single is fucking hilarious. And I love the cover of "What Shall
We Do With A Drunken Sailor?". Like... I know I'm getting really nerdy
here, but I like the fact that Cylob doesn't phonetically spell
out "early" resulting in macspeak fred earnestly mispronouncing the
word! Yes. I am a dork.
But since we're dorking it up together, can we have a favorite songs
with computer vocals thread? There is a special place in my heart for
songs with computer singing. So I'll go first. Oh... and vocoded
vocals don't count.
Hrvatski's track on the Kid 606 & Friends comp. Vatstep Catstep
something or other. Its the first song. You know what I'm talking
about. And it probably has the most laboriously programmed computer
vocals I've ever heard.
Add N to X - Hit for Cheese
A veritable potpouri of the macintosh voices talking about sniffing
your glue and catching your disease? Try and say no.
someone else's turn!
