Every time I learn something new in Caustic, it adds another layer of depth to my songs. This was especially helpful. I've owned several synths, so I had no trouble learning how to use most of Caustic's, but I definitely got hung up on the Vocoder-it's not as straightforward as an actual/physical one. Anyways, thanks for the great tutorial! Also, if you were part of the team who wrote the program, double-thanks. Caustic has turned my tablet into one of my favorite toys. It functions and sounds almost as good as a room full of synths and equipment-and I can take it with me. Suffice to say, that's flippin' awesome!

[@alanacula3855]

I've worked in caustic since 2016 and have never once touched the vocoder. Now I just wanna play with it for weeks. Now just to learn more about the modulator and I'll be in business. Haha.

[@bveracka]

@@alanacula3855 I'm glad you commented on this old post because I nearly forgot about Caustic. I have a Samsung tablet that I dedicated to Caustic - so it'd run smoothly with nothing else taking up RAM. It's a great program. I'm actually quite sad that the software developers seem to have abandoned it. In a day and age when SO MANY people love apps, I'm really surprised they don't have some awesome new version in the works where you can use a USB interface to get a couple of vocal tracks in there, or even just a nice sampler. At any rate, you can still do A LOT with that humble little program. I've since upgraded to an iMac + Ableton Live combo, but hilariously, my friends love the gloomy Swedish-style synth pop tracks I made on Caustic _ten years_ ago! ✌ Chin-chin! 🙂

[@bveracka]

​@@alanacula3855 Oh boy, here comes a rant. I *_love_* Caustic! For a long time I had a nice Samsung tablet that I'd dedicated to having the paid app and all the extensions on - that way all the RAM on the device would be free to run it as smoothly as possible. I have to say that for a $10 app, it's nothing short of amazing what you can do with that app if you know how to use it. Ten years after making my first EP, people are still amazed that I made all six songs with Caustic. These days, I have a nice computer with Ableton, plug-ins, a few hardware synths, and lots of other instruments and gear. Although I can do _way more_ and sound very professional with all of it, the tracks I made on Caustic 3.0 have aged well. Something big that it lacks is a graphic EQ to see where your frequencies are hottest so you can maximize headroom, but with a good ear can work that out with a pair of headphones. For example, be careful not to use too much bass (on the mixer) on your bass tracks, or use too many boomy kicks in combination with a lot of bass. DEF learn that modulator inside and out; make it your top priority. It really opens up the capabilities of the app and transforms an idea into a proper song. With full knowledge of how it works, you can make tracks on Caustic that stand up to - and are nearly as good - as some modern standalone hardware, _and_ for a tiny fraction of the cost. Any questions or tips you'd like I'd be glad to help. ✌Chin-Chin! 🙂

I can't believe the amount of content in this app. Best money i've spent on the Play store, thanks for all your hard work!

Bought this over a year ago..still playing around with it and learning... I get so much enjoyment out of it. The devs are deffo our friend :D thanks!

[@alanmeilke4419]

I've been struggling for days now with how to get the vocoder to do what i want. This video really has the perfect explanation of how to use the vocoder in Caustic 3. Make sure you watch it from start 'till the end! Thanks for the vid!

The "Transformers, Robots in Disguise" line, to a hardcore G1 fan as myself, was just so awesome to hear!!! XD

[@CMane]

I’ve had this app on my iPad and iPhone for quite some time now. I was rearranging all my music production apps and stumbled across this one (that I completely forgot about). Now, I’m in full on learning mode; already enjoying this app and it’s features. Thanks so much for your super helpful tutorials! ✌🏽

[@CarbonatesOnMars]

Your demos are incredibly informative and helpful. Thanks.

[@Nathriel]

Wicked sick. I've played with Caustic for over a year. This definitely helped me out. Finally I can be the robot I've always wanted to be ;)

[@nhlazyarse]

Love this app.i'm no genius with beats but just by getting busy & using imagination i am creating some kicking sounds.

[@OrangeC7]

Caustic is a really good music-making app, you* put a lot of effort into it! You can do so many things with it! *whoever made it (probably you and a few others) lol

[@moshiachhasawakened6781]

Caustic sounds awesome!

[@Audiomancer]

Ok, I know I'm spamming a little bit.....watching these tutorials, and playing with the app, makes me understand how to do things in other DAW's/VST's. I have tinkered with a couple synths in Cakewalk, namely Surge and Helm...and messing with those has been educational and fun....but the tuts from the dev of this app, adds even more.

[@serhioromano]

I had not completely understood what is going on here, but certainly something amazing!

[@artao5]

oh wait. wow All of this pretty much applies to a couple VST vocoders I've got on my computer. I hadn't thought of using them in some of the ways you did in this video. thanks! :D

[@jml19221]

Whoa!!! That beatbox trigger!!

[@dantedanteh]

I am really digging Caustic 3 so far. Keep it up!

[@aethervagrant244]

Damn I needed this. Been racking my brain getting the vocoder to record. Thanks

[@ahobimo732]

This is actually a pretty awesome tool. I'm glad I actually watched this, because I didn't have a clue how it worked before (and I definitely wouldn't have figured it out on my own).

[@nelsonianb1289]

I cant believe im just discovering this app thanks for these toots

[@Snuffomatica]

Just paid for Caustic 3 today after trying the demo for a few hours. Incredibly good app and these tutorials are excellent. I grew up in the 70s/80s and went through a lot of audio hardware over the years. Can't believe how much music creation power I can hold in my hand (in my Nexus 7) now. BTW I've seen people on a few videos here asking about latency on Caustic 3. It's very very low running on my setup. Haven't tried hooking a midi keyboard up yet but there is another video on here with a nano-key and it clearly doesn't seem to have any noticeable lag.

[@khrix1185]

Definitely going to be going back and forth with this

[@DiegoRRL]

Hi, your app is really amazing... how can I use the vocoder for a long sample like an Acapella???? I tried making the Pattern long as one but it loop the first 4 notes all the time. Thank u for reading and answer !!!!!

[@1DJLNR]

At last Caustic3, I purchased this app from the start way before caustic2 and it has desktop fruityloops functionality. Fruityloops mobile on the other hand will never catch up to this app, in fact no other mobile music creator will and that was even before the recent update. Great work and hope to see more features if this app even needs anymore that is. Well worth the purchase which I have forgotten long ago!

[@alienjellyfish4383]

Thank you so much for these videos! They are sooo helpful!

[@WarringPacifist]

This thing sounds SO COOL! Where can I download the demo version of this OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD music app?

[@ribhua8941]

Heyyyya

[@MKF30]

Cool, hey question can you just use your normal voice with vocoder but not use the robotic daft punk sound, but your normal vocals like if you're singing like those chicks in dubstep and trance songs OR just talk naturally like a monologue during or before music etc? Like example can I just say "listen to the music" in my normal voice but maybe add an echo to it, could I do that?

[@MKF30]

+Diego Lopez Cool thanks for the tip dude.

[@MarioThaMonkey]

If you're gonna dedicate a whole machine to it then use a beatbox and record a voice in a slot.

[@MKF30]

Oh not too sure what you mean by entire machine but that sounds a bit out of my budget lol. Thanks though just looking for a good music app with the vocoder option thats practical while affordable.

[@TRASHLEVIATHAN]

MKF30 by machine he means like beatbox or pcmsynth that is in the app

[@MKF30]

leviathan Oh ok I gotcha, a DJ term no doubt lol. Thanks, in other words compensate with the option he recommended if it doesn't offer a lot of vocoder voice options in these apps(since I've noticed most of them don't some do) I want to get an ipad at some point so I can get that new Korg DS 10 updated version its like the one from the 3DS but better, with more options including a vocoder I was so mad when I read it was only for ipad, ios and iphones. I have a smart phone, 3DS and laptop.

[@ruolbu]

wtf, why does every little thing you just throw together work out so fucking well? (；°Д°) just really impressed with the tool and the audio in this video

[@DSoverPSP]

Seriously. If you check out the video he did for the Padsynth he just makes a little scribble and then suddenly creates a fairly realistic choir sound. I don't know how he does it.

[@CHASHKAKEFIRA]

why that vocoder have only 8 bands?) when we get update to expand bands up to 64 or 128?

[@samuelmatheis]

great explanations!!! very down to earth and clear

[@satyanpatel6403]

As always.... Cooooooo-ooooool. Love Caustic.

[@bluffcity4975]

Great right, but you said "everybody dance" exactly to the tempo. I've been trying to repeat my lyrics on tempo and quite frankly I'm not as well with mine cause my lyrics are taking up more than 8 measures. I've tried recording onto another object. Is there a way to play the song and do your vocals at the same time while not simultaneously recording the presets

[@CausticApp]

Jai Holloway Right now, no there's no way to do that. You'd have to use another device and a metronome

[@bluffcity4975]

Will it be possible to see it on the update

[@widebandrecords902]

What pc DAW have you been using for years may i ask?

[@widebandrecords902]

i am thinking it's not fruityloops because after using fl for over 15 years there's no DAW to me that is as complex to figure out and most of all use seamlessly to get results as fast as playing the live instruments.. Depending on your device there will always be a delay and recorded samples have a limit so you must break your vocals down and piano roll them smoothly.. Use skills from your typical daw and merge them into caustic, caustic mobile is only special because it extends the desktop version and capabilities of top daws out there effortlessly and the main thing over all you know how you want your layers / music to sound.

[@bluffcity4975]

I'm actually using a cell phone. I know I'm limited but I'm not sure what a Daw is. But I hope this answers your question

Hello Caustic, great app. Congratulation! I have a question regarding the Vocoder, I am struggling to put the mix on Sample 1(which was made by the beatbox moduler with the subsynth as carrier) onto the sequencer but when i press song and press play it does not play?

11:14 Right i hear beat box coming from the Vocoder. So ive turned down Beatbox in the mixer. Now though, unlike your video, i hear no sound when i press the keys. My modulator is set to Beatnox and my carrier is still subsynth, same as in the video. Help!

[@themanfromvolantis]

Just spent another half hour on this. I began again totally and it just makes an unlistenable high pitvhed noise. Looks like i'll just have to live without the vocoder.

Is it possible to create pitch-bend or portamento effects in the vocoder piano roll ?

[@ozzelthecomposer5825]

Would be dope to rewire into GarageBand or AU version for use in GarageBand particularly because I work with lots of audio like vocals acoustic instruments etc. At any rate, I can’t get enough of this app because I’m also into synths and this is set up so nice. Guess I could just export stems or stereo wavs and import into GarageBand but that will be a process every time.

[@GrowingDownUnder]
