Skinny Puppy Ohgr Too Dark Park era vocal effects chain emulation by AmbionicA using UAD plugins 

Holy shit dude, I thought you were lip synching at first. This is incredible. Too Dark Park is my favorite album of all time. Those tracks are timeless, none of them sound dated to my ears even all these decades later. Most electronic music tends to have a sound that makes its release date easily estimated but not Too Dark Park.

This is so cool to see! Excellent work my dude. You nailed the sound of Ogres vocals perfectly!

Love this! Too Dark Park forever.

You annihilated this. 🦇 🖤 🦇 🖤

Huge ol’ school SP fan here! 🧟 Thanks for taking the time to brake down Oher’s vocals. Very cool!

Skinny Puppy was so ahead of the mark on everything... imagine if Dwayne was still around... i cant imagine what the 3 of them would have put out after The Process

Sounds great.

Excellent! You are absolutely correct that Skinny Puppy overall had a passion for experimenting with audio/sound tools without worrying too much about rules or obligations to follow what's worked well for others before them. (The way they used the 909 drum machine, for example.) Understanding the core principles and laws of physics in audio, recording, and sound design overall are beneficial. Definitely. But these days with software, especially if armed with at least some basic knowledge and experience, one is only limited by their imagination. Thanks for sharing your exploration of a rare vocal sound and band started decades ago that new generations are still discovering.

Omgoth! Thank you so much for this gift!!!! I’ve been scouring the internet for industrial production but it’s basically an empty field.

Awesome vid. Would love to see like thirty more of these...

right on! IF only we could all afford an Eventide h949! I would be soo happy just to have a more modern digital version (by Eventide, of course). I guess they have the H3-something ultra-harmonizer for about $399--, so it's a goal I can work up to :) BTW I am a huge SP fan and you picked 2 great examples of the kind of complex effects that ohGr used during that period...I think I listened to that (on Cassette) so many times the actual wheels got worn down and the tape would play at the wrong speed! Happy Memories!

This is amazing! I’m a huge Puppy fan too. Great job! Nailed the Too Dark Park sound!

You slayed it, just saw SP on their last tour, incredible work

So glad this popped up in my feed this is real cool

fabulously done! just saying, a similar effects chain can be used to simulate "the voice" a la Dune 84 (shouts to all my BIFAR boys)

If you haven't already found the instrumentals, cEvin Key's Patreon has heaps, including nature's revenge.

Great vid featuring two of my fave SP tracks. I’m sure your mic contributes a bit too. You nailed it!

My bedroom-hobby-music-producing ass has just enough know-how to be really blown away by what you did here, on Spasmolytic too. Crazy impressive, both the result and I guess your expertise in achieving it with these tools. Much appreciated for sharing this, eye opening. Kinda wondering how you'd go about recreating Harsh Stone White. Anyway, cheers man.

this is so unreal

Nice!!! Absolutely nailed Ohgr's tone with your chain. Thanks for sharing!! Give that Howard Benson Vocal Multiplier a shot if you haven't already. On Vox & Keyboards it can get very ugly (in a good way) 😸😸😸

I read somewhere when touring, Oghr (and cEvin) use a Korg Kaoss Pad to warp them in real-time (chaining fx together much like your chain here). I'm looking forward to Korg releasing this summer an affordable 'mini' simple DIY version of the pad called the 'Korg NTS-3 Kaoss Pad' to go to town. It can only chain 4 fx at a time, but Overdrive/Compressor/Flanger/Reverb works. It also has a library function for users to create and upload infinite sounds. For now its cool just noodling with guitar fx pedals that do the same if not better!

Impressive! Very Nice! I Dig It! BRAP ON!

Been looking for a video like this for some time. Thanks for sharing!

Bravo! that's dedication!

Super cool. Way to go. Nice work.

Excellent work, thanks for putting the tutorial together!

Very, very nice!

Rash reflexion. Great job

Yeah I Dig It man lol, subbed.

Thats a very good likeness, interesting.

awesome mate sounds really good thanks for this! 🖤

Awesome my friend 🖤

💙

Best I've heard. Wonder if there is a way to do this soundtoys plugins...I'm going to have to tinker around.

Cool. I’m not a vocalist but it would be cool to get a Ministry Psalm 69 video. Love the vocal effects on that album

This is really, really great! It sounds really awesome. Thanks for sharing! I'm really new to all of this and I have a question: would this template work on a live setting? Or would all the noise create feedback or other kinds of problems?

Ha! I'll be at St. Pete as well (was orig going to NYC since I'm from up there but... not going to work out). One thing I'd add that would be great - is once you go through the chain describing everything (or even as you do) - if you could slowly build the chain up so we can hear what each item is adding onto it? Might sound tedious but it would help dial in the sound with other plugins. Also (and I do the audio-in on ableton myself) are any of the secondary vox channels spread stereo in the mixer (ie I do a lot of bkg left / bkng right ) or is the spread purely from the plugins on those subs?

An effect I have found useful to simplify the amount of plugins per track is a multi-channel pitch shifter for vocals with a slight bit of reverb and distortion. Although I use it for Aggrotech genre vocals which is different than the SP sound. I have been a fan of SP since I was in school in the 80s they have been a major influence for me as well as others of the genre. I remember the first single I heard from SP Gods Gift Maggots, I was blown away and have been a fan ever since.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

nice.

Fantastic job.

Amazing!great job man! :D

Hi there, I am the singer back in the day of Stereo Taxic Device and Thinkingman I would actually like to try my vocals out on those settings. I don’t come on here or post messages. Not sure how to get old. Are you anyways cool shit.

Nice!

Awesome job. You do a great Ohgr! Have you ever seen Ken Marshall on you tube. He’s a mix engineer who worked with SP for many years. He has some interesting insight into some of these things too. I bet he’d appreciate this video.

Great video....what are the specs on the computer you are using? I imagine running that many plug-ins live requires a lot of processor power?

This sounds amazing. Do those UAD plugins need the hardware or are they native?

Well done!

This is great! Did you have fx on the main vocal group as well?

great sound,...how could this kind of vocal be transported to live koncert without the bleed in the mic ? any hint how is this done ? thnx

How do I sound like that live?

Audio rate lfo and ,karplus strong

can you make that templet downloadable... would be great just to open the project and check it out...

I'm assuming you don't know how they really did. That in the old was actually analog equipment the right way

Ken Marshall might join as a guest and go through it with you

Do you think you would be able to help me do wumpscut type vocals?

Typos

Yeah that's a subscribe from me dawg

Good job, thanks!
