Auto-tuning Pony Vocals?

Postby Danse » 25 Jun 2013 23:53

So I've looked all over trying to find out what plug-ins/effects people use to encode a melody into spoken vocal samples from the show. I've seen melodyne mentioned, but I'm not sure if that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Basically I want to recreate how the vocals are done in this PMV:

The vocals just come out sounding really crisp and clean without having much of the "synthetic" sound that you hear in a lot of auto-tuned or vocoded songs. Anyone know how to get this sound, and what plug-ins you might use?

The vocals in that song, and all of PinkiePieSwear's songs as far as I know, are not auto-tuned at all. They are simply sampled and chopped. No autotuning, plugins, or effects processing is required.

I do, however, hear that the spoken word samples in the song are processed and tuned specifically. In these cases, I would use Melodyne.

for pitch/time correction, personally I use image-line's newtone. does a marvelous job assuming you don't do things unnatural for vocals or time or pitch stretch them too far.

as for the glitching, image-line's slicex is amazing. load up your audio file, select areas of the vocals, and then you can play each area easily and quickly as if they were keys of your keyboard.

Well, for vocal tuning, so far I have been using NI - The Mouth. Its not a terrible program, but it's more directed to vocoding then auto tuining.

I have FL studios, so I've been messing around with Newtone and Slicex and seeing if I can get the effect I want with those. I'll let you all know how that works out, thanks for the tips guys.

NI The Mouth is great on a budget.
Most people's go to auto tuner is Melodyne, and for around the same price you can get Antares Autotune which as far as I know is the industry standard.

If you're slicing vocals you can just pitch shift each slice fairly accurately in say, Audacity.

PinkiePieSwear did say that he uses Edison and Slicex to edit his vocals, btw.
