emphasizing words

Post by grimsin » Thu May 03, 2012 2:46 am

so there is a skit by kottonmouth kings called pot head and i thought it would be cool to take a little bit of the words out of it and use it in my track "i wasnt doin no drugs" this is for non commercial use of course but my problem is the emphasis on the word drugs i used slicex to slice and get the part that i want i used fruity scrather and mad shirta to slow it down a bit for my intro my problem is you can really tell what its saying now i have it at the pitch i want but i want to kn ow if there is a way i can make it to where i can keep what i have done with this but make it to where i can understand it a little better any ideas?????
thanks :)

Sry, a bit of a cake and eat it too situation.
Only advice is to find a better pitch which effects the audio less but still sounds good
as your going to get artifacts no matter what when u pitch things and they can't really be just eq'd out...
Although eq'ing can be helpful when pitching stuff anyways so it might help a little but probably not to the extent you want.

Ham VSt.

or do what you said, LFO something other then a lowpass filters cutoff. lfo a bandpass filter, or a notch filter, or a comb filter, or the amplitude of your synth, or the amplitudes of each osc in the synth, or the resonance of a formant filter, or the frequency of a formant filter, or an overdrive amount, or the parameters in your waveshaper, its got pre-and-post filters, or the amplitude pre-reverb, or an osc phase, or any of the other 1,000s of parameters in your DAW?

Your getting into a really deadlycycle if you do the same things everytime you design a patch.

When I was a newbie they had to tell me to slow down and stop experimenting so much, it blows my mind to see people get all step-by-step about music.

I try not to go step by step but I find out hard not to when learning I have started experimenting a little but I can't ever put enough time into it ...it's hard to do when you only get like 30 min a day :(
