[@rico1979]

do you need some cough medicine?

[@simoing75]

I can't help but quote you, bro. Best tutorial ever on Vocoder :)

[@Slynk]

Spolier Alert: Ableton will be featuring this video on their website! Pretty exciting stuff. EDIT: Here is the link! www.ableton.com/en/blog/vocoder-not-just-for-vocals/ EDIT 2: Thanks so much for all your kind comments. More videos are coming!

[@spaziojobim]

I'm happy for you! You did a great job.

[@milhouse777]

hell yeah, I never saw a video that was too deep in explorate the ableton's vocoder like yours!

[@ItsKingMyles]

congrats on the feature! www.ableton.com/en/blog/vocoder-not-just-for-vocals/

[@dazza42UK]

Well done Slynk. Another superb video. A big thanks from your subscribers!

[@sethtaylor7519]

That is awesome! Keep up the great work Slynk!

[@jhubertful]

Damn that last tip with the arped randomized pitches is seriously next level. manually automating interesting/coherent filter band modulation is so tedious, and this is the antidote! I also just love the concept of converting oscillator pitches into filter bands, it's so elegant. Like you could modulate a melody or bassline with an outtake harmony or something. You could prob fatten the randomized sound up even more by adding octaves or fifths in the other oscillators, or create wobbles with glide/pitch modulation. Gonna have to try that...

[@jhubertful]

This might also be an application where modulating vocoder's attack and release times could really shine

[@Slynk]

+Josh Hubert oh! Some really cool ideas on this comment! I never thought to pitch bend. Adding 5ths would be easy with a chords midi effect.

[@jhubertful]

thanks for incepting them in my mind lol!

[@andycordy5190]

All of these products deserve their moment in the spotlight. Thank you.

[@JohnnyMcMenamin]

6 Years late to this since I rewarded Ableton Live Suite to myself for achieving life goals. Music is a reward in itself. Your tutorials have helped tremendously. Myriad thanks!

[@SecretGardenNL]

14:36 that drop

[@RmaNYouTube]

You exactly teach things that nobody explains but are super important. and also things I'm really curious about. you're the best Ableton Tutor.

[@unspecifiedindividualmusic]

i use the vocoder quite a bit with stuff i write and this video just showed me i'm only scratching the surface. Thanks Slynk

[@scallopy7546]

In every tutorial you end up making a total banger with whatever stock plugin you're using, mad props to you.

[@iamMTNofficial]

Using it on the bass to get those formant sounds was amazing. Awesome tutorial as always Slynk!!

[@planetmusicbahrain]

best vocoder tutorial ...thanks

[@ToytaSR]

ohhh man its 2020 i have seen a lot of tutorials..i will watch this as many times as needed to get everything out you just did.best tutorial hands down..

[@RockstahRolln]

WOW!! CRAZY!! THE BEST tutorial on VOCODER, hands down!!

[@sinfonik13]

Clear and concise. Explaining each function. Why can't all tutorials be this way? Especially with it being mainly experimenting I didn't get lost in random knob twiddling. Thanks Evan.

[@Slynk]

Thanks for the compliments mate!

[@nsns7993]

Thank so much. Your way of explaining stuff is brilliant you really know how it technically works

[@beatlejuicefunk]

This tutorial is golden. I'm very glad you did this. And kudos for being featured on the Ableton site again :)

[@Slynk]

Thanks Juice!

[@jojoDUB]

This may be the best quality and most inspiring tutorial I've ever seen

[@Slynk]

Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you liked it.

[@0neTwo0neTwo]

I second Monster's comment, very nice tutorial that thoroughly explains what the heck a vocoder does inside of Ableton. Thank You for the knowledge!

[@SoundDesignTutorials]

Good job mate, Ableton Vocoder is one effect I rarely use. After watching this I’m definitely going to dive deeper into what it can do, I may do a tut myself with a vocoder on pads, using a square wave as the modulator gave the sound a nice rounded feel, would be great for pads, thanks again 👍

[@dari5130]

Brilliant! I got so many ideas I wanna test tomorrow now I can barely contain myself. Not gonna sleep at all tonight probably!

[@antoinenioi6863]

The best channel to practice Ableton in real situation ... top man 👌thanks

[@rct3isepic]

In the past, I've used the vocoder to have a percussive chord instrument. I routed the chords into the vocoder, and had the modulator as a drumbeat. It makes this cool sound that I've called the Vocodrum

[@KristijanJankovic]

One of the best audio design videos I have seen in a while, holly smokes have you unleashed the creativity juices. Thanks

[@j.fetzer5814]

Excellent and mind expanding video! Vocoder level up! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creativity!

[@focus45media]

Always so helpful

[@danieklerr]

On my channel, I really only try to cover material that is not covered elsewhere on KZbin. I've sat through a few of your videos in the last couple hours, and your content is very unique, which is rare. It is in this spirit that I say.. Thank you. :)

[@antonstyles6881]

love the way you explain and explore things as always, brutha! it's always a rarity when someone who does something extremely well can also be just as apt with teaching it...! cheers!

[@dirtsawmusic9295]

Best Ableton vocoder tut I have seen.

[@OfficialLemnisc8]

I'd totally put a scale device after the random arp just to keep the tones harmonics in check with the track. Great vid

[@livingrootsmusic]

Super Flippin' solid video! I'm stoked to start playing around with all these new ideas! Thanks a million for the inspo!

[@lenny_Videos]

Great Tutorial,...so sweet to see somebody just using Ableton stock and create amazing stuff like the expensive plugins do. I am definetly gonna check out more videos on your channel. Thanx man!!

[@fakshen1973]

Thanks for breaking all of that down. The creative juices are flowing.

[@shliggyb]

absolute expert in Ableton...and at making tutorials. this is probably my fav vid you have done. Amazing work!

[@Slynk]

Thankyou so much :)

[@Spaced_Invader]

best tutorial! thank you for making us understand how to actually utilise the vocoder...

[@Krispyan]

ALL your tutorials are the "where have you been all my life" kind. Thank you.

[@MeticulousGuitarist]

Thanks so much for sharing! Your vids are so packed with interesting ideas and info

[@carlvanhaesendonck2278]

Breath taking tutorial, incredible demo on the possibilities of vocoder. Well done man !

[@joeysanchez2771]

SLYNK!!! Thanx for the extremely informative and detailed instructional. I like your laid back, easy to follow instruction style. You made sure to cover the tid-bits that most instructors fly past. Great Soundz as well!!!!

[@GunDogSlim]

Fantastic tutorial thanks! I couldnt get my head around the vocoder and now I feel like I know what everything does!

[@agustinbene]

I must say, after catching the Mcompressor trick on the other video. It has been gamechanger for me. Take the bass, and saturate all the mids and leave all the good beefyness of the sub.

[@kobieberkhout2728]

which video?

[@agustinbene]

I think it was in the sub bass one

[@johnconnor2176]

Only my second video I watch from you, but you earned that subscription

[@MrFedemoral]

Finish the song!!!! Cant wait!

[@CestLaVie73]

Best producer channel! Very interesting videos with clear and professional approach. Thx alot.

[@DavidBoura]

How could i forget about this mind blowing video.

[@caj_jazz]

Great video. Clear explanation and interesting experimentation. Totally agree with the philosophy of "just play around with it." I've learned so much from just playing and messing around.

[@Slynk]

+Aaron Dishner yeah! Don't know what a plug in does? Turn all the knobs and figure it out :)

[@Sandfury89]

amazing, you saved my life when it comes to vocoding the vocals, especially with the resolution trick!

[@MLElectron]

super useful tips! can you also show how you did the sidechain effect rack on the breaks?

[@Bassgorilla]

Legend, Legend, Legend. Props on the Ableton plug. Your a stand up dude getting the respect you deserve. Big ups Slynk da Funkmaster!

[@davidhall9756]

Very interesting, I am really amazed at the possibilities of the vocoder, never thought of it in that context !

[@copyrightfreelofi1297]

This is amazing! Thanks so much

[@Simrasil_]

You're so eloquent when you're explaining this, it's clear that you really understand the subject matter, and it's inspirational. I enjoyed this tutorial so much. I'm jealous of your knowledge. You make it look so damn easy! Keep making these :) ps: Always helps hearing someone explain in good plain Aussie that I can understand ^_^
