Innovative Ways to Digitally Treat Vocal Samples

[Guest Scrambled Ears]

I prefer to use turntables w/ hardware effects to get a greater deal of control (of tone/speed) of what I'm sampling/mixing and to have access to more of a warped psych sound that is still organic. I'm not wild about retrig and the effects most DAWs cater to (though it can be done tastefully like 6:40 in A Slip in the Marleybone Road by COIL.) Anyway, I don't have access to turntables now I need to think of some innovative ways to digitally incorporate vocal samples...anyone familiar with this please shed some wisdom/ideas...

Use the pitch bend algorithm in Sound Forge and combine with some wooden block hits and low passed saw/square combos. Might want to also sample some rain and throw that in the background to.

Also, replace that square with a lowpassed hoover/reese and add some m4-clip samples from counterstrike. Then take the vocals from MGS and pitchbend like acid said.

Convolve with a fart.

I think you may be on to something, quick! Contact hyperdub.

Top it off by recording your studio space for natural reverb.

or in my case natural acoustical death (my studio is so dead it makes the shure mic testing booth look like a glass cave)

 

(... but more so sound like a glass cave... )

 

(but yeh not really so much)
