I need a full cover of that song with that ableton vocorder it was straight ear candy

It's on my channel! I layerd vocalsynth2 with the ableton vocoder

[@fant1um]

I like how the vocoder v sounds, because it's unique and so cool

[@hemnath8047]

Vocodor V and Ableton vocodor ❤️🔥

[@ZaberZlayer7]

Why did they all sound so good together?! Like, it was such a nice-sounding progression. I hope what I’m saying makes sense, I don’t have much experience with music, especially of this genre.

[@DavidRitt]

for some weird reason it's satisfying to hear them on after another right?!

[@ZaberZlayer7]

@@DavidRitt yeah! It felt like a Mechanical Chorus or something similar. Man, I’d love to listen to a song with something like that.

[@no_iris9868]

1) Izotope 2) Arturia 3) Ableton 4) Manipulator

[@messifcb101]

Fam the thickness and warmt in ablelton is CRAZY.

[@DavidRitt]

hihi yes I'm weirdly in love with it !

[@Apticx]

All of them are sick. Vocalsynth sounds the most textured and „alive“ with the slight bitcrush to me. Very crunchy and sits well in a mix. Love all of those but the vocalsynth one delivers the perfect mix between retro and modern so ig thats a close one with moog on the second place for me. The ableton one offers a insane amount of flexibility for a stock plugin and manipulator can create very experimental results for a vocoder workflow. Ig i really have to check them out some more.

[@DavidRitt]

Nice analysis.. Cheers!

[@user-jr8qj8fi8o]

It all depends on what mood you're in

[@DavidRitt]

True words :)

[@jituswargiary3657]

Song is out or not

[@member_selor]

Ableton vocoder sounds the best imo

[@DavidRitt]

I like them all to be honest but yeah especially for a stock plugin it sounds sick!

I like Ableton, personally, but they all sound pretty cool.

[@ajdoyle9559]

Vocalsynth 2 sounds amazing to me. Any chance we could get a tutorial for that one ?

[@KenoticBeats]

Vocal synth 2, my favorite

[@dementedgamer0810]

VocalSynth2 and Ableton Vocoder sounds like the vocoder used in Pink Floyd's album, "Animals"

[@solelmusic6822]

very inspiring

[@DavidRitt]

Happy to inspire :)

[@Tom-ze7fc]

all got there one beauty

[@keisui89]

might be biased bc i use ableton but i really like the sound of abletons vocoder😅

[@DavidRitt]

it has such a good "roboticness" to it :D

[@bop_it_maker]

albeton vocoder is my favorite

[@corypalmer5495]

That's literally by Kid Cudi, and Vocoder V and Ableton's vocoder sound the best.

[@DavidRitt]

True, and Don Diablo covered/remixed it

[@yakoutcool8799]

both . both are good

[@akimrodriguezpersonal]

2 and 4

[@ManiacalMidget13]

Manipulator is my favorite and it also acts as a pitcher so you can do chorus

[@jamesantoine4318]

this is cool and legit

[@austinchima2436]

Vocoder and Ableton's vocoder were both very nice. I prefer Vocoder.

[@Mayhem_Ke]

Ableton vocoder, vocal synth 2 n vocoder v

[@supremezayden8619]

Actually all of them r the best

[@dandrayton7697]

That's nice

[@msld_sound]

Cool premise for a shootout type video! It’s hard to do shootouts well, as the plugins need to have more closely matched settings to make good comparisons - i.e. so listeners don’t become misled (MSLD lol) about what or how large the differences are between plugins.
It sounds like the formant shift settings were cranked for every plugin but the Ableton Live vocoder. AL Vocoder was popular per the comments, and no wonder: it’s got the most intelligible wet result. VocalSynth 2 was a close second, but something was weird with the analysis bands it used, I think. Keep up the good work.

[@thanksihave5225]

Ableton is like the best one but i would say izotope is the best in my opinion. The end song was my fav

[@ennayanne]

gonna have to grab vocalsynth 2. btw, when you're vocoding, do you bother to try to sing in tune? lol

[@DavidRitt]

haha i never really bother to sing in tune since it doesn't seem to affect the quality of the vocoder output too much :D

[@markofjay2727]

Hey bro, Can you do a tutorial on how you set up VocalSynth2 as a vocoder??
I’m struggling haha

This might help :)

Gnarly bass. What are your thoughts on the white noise? @davidritt

[@lightbluefile]

but where can I get this vocalsynth2? sounds so dope!!!

[@lionofistanmusic7311]

They sound great!! Is there an auto tune plugin somewhere in the chain?

[@DavidRitt]

Nope no auto tune. The pitch comes from the vocoders

[@GuitarAnime]

what i've found is that MVocoder by Melda is the best and more versatile vocoder. Also 50 bucks.

[@initiallynasty9831]

Those are dope glasses, what are they?

Can you list your vocoders? They all sound great!!!🎉🎉

Alberton vocoder sounds the best

[@PrisonDead2024]

Manipulator sounds more demonic
Vocalsynth2 sounds more aesthetic dare i say?
Vocoder V sounds more Ghostly
Ableton sounds more robotic

Did you have to some sort of keying or auto tune to make it have those notes?

But you also remember that you can set the respective VST plugins “right and wrong,” right? 😅 You can therefore impair the sound experience of a top by using sub-optimal settings..
