Thats pretty much what i was tinking.

how about a talk box?

Talk box?

yes,it is a small box that you plug your guitar into that allows you to manipulate your guits sound with your voice,all you hhave to do is vocalixe words into a long plastic tube and it acts like a awah

a good example would be,do you feel like we do by peter frampton,or livi n on a prayer bon jovi

i see.

you can just do what I do...

Play everything at once on one instrument.

or you know, like, you can sing hahah just kiddin

You can autotune!

evil Autotune Alex.

Null: record the vocal line with the guitar as a second track. or whistle, or kazoo along while you play the guitar.

@AlexB

noes! nullnaught for the love of buddha dont use Autotune.

Yes, theres always autotune.. and kazoo's. or BOLTH!

What is autotune?

Thats what i was trying to say to BBT that got cut off somehow.

an autotune aoutomattically makes any voice sound in perfect pitch,sounds good?WRONG!!!!inless you want to sound like a female pop star or the blackeyed peas dnt use an autotune

You give it a scale and it corrects your vocal track pitch and time. And yeah, but if your singing is close to right pitch, it makes it perfect without much change in sound, but if you are way away from right pitch its sound horrible..

Thanks guys. I'll figure out something. Experiment experiment, that's what I always say.

Singing is so not an option even trying to spice up my voice would be a bad idea.

Empirism you fixed my computer with your suggestion. Thanks

autotune is not bad as an effect,its bad as a resource

on the other hand,melodyne is always an option ;)

Please no more singing modification thingys.

use your guitar,a vocoder,a synth,samples from someone else,text to speech,anything goes

Don't listen to alexb, he doesn't know what he's talking about!!!!

LOL!

Anything goes sounds like all that there really is... Thanks AlexB

I was actually thinking of using my synth,

@alexb thats true,in music anything goes,did anbody tell jimmy page using a therimin was stupid,whatt about king crimson using distortion on there vocals,s"all good.....except autotune....

Encanto Desencanto by Alex Berserker

Intro vocals are autotuned,check the psyche effect ;)

Sounds good alex.

Point taken Alex, that track sounds good...the thing we hate...to be more precise, is I think referred to as Hard Auto-tune. Using the Autotune to clean up the vocals of a pop act my be cheating, and contribute to the over glossification of the sound, but that is it's own usage. Almost immediately after this thing was invented Cher used it on Believe, but used it as a style to make the robot voice pitch shift, not in the way it was intended to be used (I can't complain about the creative re-use of a tool).

Jump forward 10 years and T-pain poopularized* the creative misue of the effect...and then everybody started to do it.

It reminds me of when, in the 80's, all the 'hair' bands wore tights and makeup and all the rap music had been reduced to a bombastic booming coming out of lowered pickup trucks. Fads. Hopefully destined to pass quickly. But the painful memory of Eddie Van Halen bringing in the keyboards for 1984 will never be erased from my musical memory. I was not hot for teacher!
