if that's what your music sounds like, i think it's fair to expect an mp3 please.

Great production on the MP3. What did you use to freak that vocal out? it's Cher-bot voice meets daft punk.

Tis my latest "technique" - and it goes a little something like . .
Do track in sequencing package du jour, put into tracker, sing along some vocals, gate/normalise/EQ if neccesary, export vocals back into Slicer/Dr.Rex or similar depending on what you use, cut up into sections, make numerous copies tuned to different notes so you've got more to play with than just what you tracked melody-wise (usually in a triad so you can harmonise the parts together), and make a new vocal part from the sections, treat with autotune (quick retune time and low tracking - about 10 o clock - that's how you get the Cher-bot sound), 2 decent compressors (one to catch the peaks the other to bring down the whole program), the best verb you can find, add extra harmonics with something Steinberg Voice Machine or similar (NI Vokator, Waves UltraVoice).
I think the production on that one's really sloppy. It's the kind of thing that needs to be ubertight. A better example of it can be found here

I came up with it in an attempt to try and make songs about things without using any specific words or recognisable language if you get what I mean. I did it for Dray primarily but I've done it a few times since as its so much fun. If you're into that kind of thing.

nice work, paul. i like these a lot. they're really fun.
if that's reason you're using you got it to sound pretty nice.

also the kaoss pad has a very similar (to the vox effect used) patch that you can filter vox through... granted much less control, but it's good for live stuff.

Thanks for the tips (as I quickly google Steinberg Voice Machine, Slicer/Dr.Rex, et al)
