Subject: IDM - how do they do that?
OK, hot on the heels of the stutter query, this is kind of my "how do they do that" query.
Basically when I listen to say Fennesz/ maybe also Kid *** (or I can think of a Tetsu Inoue track called DSP Terminal also as a very specific example), I hear what sounds like audio subjected to some kind of Harmonic/ Resonant Accenting - something quite Vocodery about it, maybe closer to saying something like formant frequency shifting/the cher effect, but kind of a digital extension of this....It definately sounds kind of Digital to me, not just Analog filters or Resonance, although in some way, thinking fennesz again, i can see how severely overdriven signals might induce this kind of effect, but its more subtle, like an exciter or something, but withh 100% saturation. & in the Kid 606/ The Tetsu I track i mentioned, it kind of sounds band passed & modulated....These all sound like useful/ relevant ideas I hope, but none the less there's something about the sound of it that seems to say DIGITAL (in capital letters...)
ive played around trying to saturate samples with VST plug-in exciters & Vocal Tuners, but to little effect. Mind you, its all very tentative at this stage - Im still just a frustrated ex- rock guitarist.
is there any more recent/ DSP based thing that does this effect, or am I sounding like a raving loony?
or are we simply talking MAX/MSP here & I need to go out & get a mac? (Im on PC...)
what about some sort of Reaktor config?
granular synthesis?
