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.

ya i figured it probably wouldnt happen but i figured what the hell why not ask the experts

so i guess my next question would be what are some good text to speech programs .. i am using fl and i havent used the text to speech on it very much because its kind of robetronic if you catch my drift i have tried adding little flanger chorus eq etc etc etc but still no good i read in the production bible text to speech programs but it was no good either....any pointers?

Record yourself talking?

no mic i mean i have a pair of regular ear buds with a mic on em but that wont work will it?..... im pretty sure it wont and my budget is tight as hell when it comes to my music ....... i blame my gf

use your phone to record

Ya my girl friend said to record it send it to my email import it like that .....then I'll mess with the effects from there...thanks for the help guys this site rocks I have learned so much! Like making my wobbles more aggressive before this site i was making soft wobbles But now they are much better so thanks for everything everybody!

Applying an expander and a gate should get you usable material

It's probably better than opening sytrus and putting a lfo on a saw wave, haha.

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.

Write didn't think about that basically you can wobble anything I guess it makes since anyways I'll check it out.....I guess you coups consider me a noob been doin this for a year now and I'm just now getting the hang if it starting to make semi decent work

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
