i've actually asked this here before but instead of trying to find an ancient thread and necroing it i thought there wouldn't be anything wrong with starting a new one, just in case this time someone actually knew what they were talking bout

sooo how does blawan make his creepy, almost demonic vocals? and i doubt it's only a subtle combination of distortion, vocoder and what have you.. there's something special to it :) i know he uses ableton, he has actually bragged in an interview about how he knows everything about the DAW.. so the question is i guess that can u do it with ableton's stock vsts or does he use a third party one? or even completely separate software?

No I mean the plugins from the Anthology bundle.

Still he might use guitar pedals too, know of quite a few producers who use chains of em.

Guitar pedals in music production are as old as production itself. Most live setups have at least one.

dont remember but it was basically just pitchin down a vocal sample and using it as a modulator for like a low pitched sq wave kinda thing, make vocoder setting real wet so mainly u hear the vocals and not the saw
nd distortion and shit
just experiment, would be better to come up with something similar but more original anyways
i think the sample choice is important too
