I'm playing different characters ("normal" female, male-vampire, beast-from-hell...) and want them now with my voice enabled (which is kind of hmm.. female)! I have a MacBookPro laptop, so I cant (and dont want to) use a software-solution or telephone-voice-changers. Instead I was told to look for a hardware-synthesizer, but to be honest I'm neither a techie nor a musician... So the questions goes out to all those DJs and Music-Pros: Which device is able to transform my voice (via microphone), gives me some nice sound effects (e.g. while drinking blood, flirting, or appearing from hell with lightning..), loops back the transformed sound to my earphones, can be directly connected to the MacBook, will be detected by the Mac-SL-Client-Software ... and last but not least... does not cost a fortune? ... investigation shows up some "boxes" from BOSS / ROLAND (e.g. BR-  , but ... huh ... they look kind of complicated ...? Any help is appreciated, thx! B. |

the people best suited to answer this question are probably digital multitrack recording enthusiasts. the fact that youre on a mac is a big point in your favour as well. i highly recommend posting this questions at http://homerecording.com/bbs/index.phpi have no doubt they will have a few different options to pitch you. |

If you need sound effects, I'd just use SL to create those. It'll be quicker, and people who don't have voice enabled will be able to hear them. Moreover, most effects hardware doesn't do sampling in the way you're talking about (or if it does, it only samples looong snatches so you can make loops from them) Once you have that you can buy a vocoder or voice transformer hardware and have fun  (But, don't let a "security" firm sell you a Boss VT-1 for US$570. It's an 11 year old audio effects unit that should cost more like $350 from a music store.) |
