Animal Crossing: K.K. Cruisin' Talkbox Funk / Go-Go Arrangement (feat. The Raindrops!)

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks for watching this video, guys! If you guys have any song suggestions, especially songs that could use the talkbox (I was thinking Splatoon, Persona 5?) then let me know here! www.insaneintherainmusic.com/song-suggestions (Copy-pasted from the description): For those who don't know, the talkbox is basically a box with an amplifier in it, that sends a signal through this long plastic tube. I'm sending a saw wave controlled by my MIDI keyboard out from my audio interface into the talkbox, and then into my mouth. From there, I basically mouth the words without generating any actual sound from my vocal cords, and then the microphone picks up the audio as it's modulated from my mouth! It's such a cool concept, and I would love to use it in future videos.

[@matthewabernathy6370]

Something with Splaatack! would work really well I think!

When the video didn’t even started yet but you already know it’s gonna be fire🔥🔥🔥

[@wade-potato6200]

I ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND THE SCIENCE BEHIND THIS! Your vocal cords aren’t doing any work, you have replaced them with the sound coming out of the tube, you use your mouth to modulate the words. For all you people at home, you can try this just by going out and moving your lawn, your lawnmower can actually get the same effect, or at least it can for me, I’d always wondered if you could use this for music. This is very cool, thank you insaneintherain.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I'm glad it makes sense to you! I think one of the easiest demonstrations of this is using an electric toothbrush! You can modulate the sound that the toothbrush generates in the same way, just no pitch changing.

[@majesticmelon4715]

At first I thought this was a joke comment saying he replaced his vocal cords with the talkbox...

Don't mean to be annoying but I thought this was common knowledge

To me it felt like a small representation of all the raindrops and the VGM community as a whole. Really loved it. Thank you for giving us the possibility to "work" and have fun with you. ❤

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Yeah I noticed that too! I added in that section around 6:40 to make sure that everybody was shown on screen for at least some portion of the video - the overlapping was unavoidable with the layout I ended up deciding to go with, but I think 6:40 made up for it. Thanks :)
