Does anyone have any idea if it's possible to, say, speak into a microphone, see the EQ of it on a spectrum analyzer, then copy that spectrum analyzer EQ "pattern" to a synth? Like if I say "Hello", I assume the frequencies would change from the "H" sound to the "o" sound; the graph would look different because different frequencies were being hit. Can I copy that kind of like automation onto a synth, so the synth is automatically EQ'd the way as the original audio file? It would have to dynamically shift, however, that's the catch. It wouldn't be a simple copy/paste into a Channel EQ plugin etc.

If this doesn't exist, maybe someone should invent it.

P.S. I don't think this is what a Vocoder does, does it?

You can do that to some extend with the EQ that is in Ozone 5, I don't know any others. But the deal is this, you play a sound through the EQ, then lock the spectrum on a particular point in time, then you can put a synth through and it will match the spectrum view on that synth. But that is only for one particular point in the track, not for an entire sound. I don't know anything like that, but I don't really need it anyway. A vocoder can give you a somewhat similar result as what you need, but will need quite some processing to make it into a nice bass or synth, at least if you don't want that cheesy 80's vocoder sound.

What you're describing is a vocoder
