What does this do? (Mat on Tat).

[@guspolly]

So “Tone sandhi” is a misguided translation of “变调”. In music, that word means “key change” or “pitch change”. But the term is also used in linguistics to refer to a situation in tonal languages like Chinese where the tone of a word changes when it’s next to a certain other tone - in English that’s called “tone sandhi”

Song slaps, thanks for commenting what it is!! I kept mishearing the lyrics so I had no success.

I believe the reason "Awkward" is a crow cawing is because it's an anime trope. In Japanese, the onomatopoeia for the sound a crow makes is "AHO" or "BAKA", which both also mean "fool" or "idiot", hence why you would hear a crow cawing when someone says something stupid. So you weren't too far off when you said it was like the old tumbleweed gag.

[@nickwallette6201]

I figured this would be a cultural difference. In the US, I would expect crickets.

[@johnhodgetts6617]

10:42 I think mute or "vocal cut" is designed to remove the existing lead vocals from a recorded song so you can sing over it yourself. It just puts the right channel out of phase with the left and mixes them into mono, thereby cancelling out anything in the centre, which is typically where the lead vocal is placed. A filter prevents it from removing the bass, which is also usually in the centre. You would need to connect a device to play the background music, which is probably where the Bluetooth comes in. The key changing button probably pitch shifts the backing music into your desired singing key.

[@Vcen7]

I had the exact same thought - this device probably works better (as a relative term), if it's supplied with music on another channel. As an example, the Dodge effect is almost certainly "Duck", which doesn't make a quack sound, but 'ducks' one signal out of the way of the other. So you'd be talking while the music was playing, and the music would 'duck' out of the way of your voice while you were talking, then go back up in volume whenever you stopped. Monitor is probably for just that, a monitoring channel, where you can hear all channels at the same time.

[@chocomallows2559]

Yup, you connect a second phone or a laptop (that will play the music you'll be singing along to) to the Live 2 or the Accompaniment port at the back.

Bit of context/ explanation from a person living in Asia: This generic no brand "V8 sound card" is widely common and used here, i keep seeing Facebook streams that are using their phone to do livestreams and have this hooked up directly to the phone via usb and aux, and this inexpensive thing also enables for external mics to be plugged in to the phone, the unbranded BM-800 is a common mic being sold with this too in some online stores.

Just checked the original product in Chinese. It seems that "Mute" (消原音) refers to eliminate the original vocal track from music so you can sing along, similar to what's used for karaoke. "Dodge" (闪避) seems to reduce the volume of music when someone is speaking so they could be heard. According to the product page I found in Taobao, the purpose of this product is to provide a out-of-box audio mixing solutions for gaming streamers / live-stream sales / online karaoke. Most people don't have much experience with audio mixing software, and some of them uses their own smartphone for broadcasting, so this device makes some sense. The listing price in Taobao is only 98 CNY (~15 USD), and it seems to have more than 6k reviews, mostly positive, although I am not sure if these reviews are all genuine.

Ah yes, I always mumble "together up" when I play online with friends as a sign of camaraderie

1:31 "Wheat Live!" made my day, LOL!

[@TheRip72]

I found that funny too. Matt didn't describe what it was. Maybe he never found out?

[@MickeyMousePark]

my guess would be "When Live"..when and wheat can be so confusing lol

Please do a quick 5min teardown of this crazy device. We would love to see what craziness is hiding inside !

I just bought one, as I've been looking for a super, super cheap unit to let preschoolers play with that does sound/voice alterations, so this is perfect!

This cheered me up, I was in tears. So bizzare
