[Rwp] MDA vocoder question

[Justin Macleod]

The only other thing you could do is what Patrick discussed the other day. Create three tracks. One should contain the vocal you want to be altered. The other could contain the sound file. You will find some available on www.freesound.org but you would have to be very selective. There are also sites that offer free music. Alternatively, you could put a tone generator on that track, reaper has some built in, and change its parameters according to what you want. 

 

You set both those tracks so that each sends to a different channel of track three and you turn send to parent off for each of the sends. 

 

Then apply MDA Vocoder to track 3. 

 

There is a way of using your computer keyboard to play midi notes but I’m not very familiar with it. If you manage to figure that out, then you add a synth to the track you would have put the audio or tone generator on, bring up the midi keyboard and bash away. 

 

Hope this helps, 

 

Justin

Hi,

I don’t have anything else unfortunetly.

The only thing I have is my microphone.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Hi, 

 

The way the MDA vocoder works is that you put the vocals on one channel of a track and whatever you want to vocode them with on the other channel. I always forget which way round it is but experimentation will quickly show which one’s which. 

 

Since you don’t have a keyboard, you will need some other kind of audio to provide the modulator. This might be a sound file or something you input via microphone. What to use depends very much on the results you want to achieve. 

 

Hope this helps, 

 

Justin

Hi my name is John Sanders.

I have a question: I don’t have a midikeyboard connected to the computer.

I’m wanting to do some vocoding work with just vocals.

Is that something that I can possibly do with Reaper?

I have the MDA vocoder.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

John Sanders
