The Ableton Vocoder Part 1 of 2 

This tutorial makes me want to hug you. Amazing stuff

man im still confused! So are you saying you need the vocoder and a midi and a audio in order to create the distorted sound?

Has there ever been a cooler name than Huston Singletary?

Every time i try using ableton vocoder with my mic i get a huge amount of feedback and have to turn down the levels so low i can barely hear the vocoder at all. This happens even when i follow tutorial for ableton vocoder step by step . I get a ton of feedback but the demo vids don't and i'm not finding out what is set up wrong to cause all the feedback on my mic . Its similar to a problem fl studio gets at times with microphone feedback.

Is this only in Ableton Live Studio? I have Intro and Launchpad edition, but no Vocoder effect.

would like a responce to an ida,[keep it simple],is the tiltle.can anyone help?i dont know how to post this for feed back.

HAHA love the end, A beautiful melodic robot explaining Live 8. You should just do all your tutorials with a vocoder on.

i didnt really understand the vocoder, but i can already see that its going to be an invaluable tool in my production. vocoder is fucking awesome!

its under audio effecfts at the very bottom - or just search " vocoder " in your browser

when I save my work to cd I cant play it back on a normal cd player what do i need to change thanks in advance

@Thatguy301 its not that im sick of autotune its just that vocoder sounds way cooler, its badass

can you download this from Ableton, I only have the lite version and it doesn't have it

i want to sit in that room and play around for hours...and hours...and hours...

@SnubCluster Just reinstall the whole thing. make sure all updates are set up.

this is so much cooler than that t pain auto tune crap that gives me headaches

Instead of that drum loop playing, wouldn't we feed our own drums in or no?

Mine stops at vinyl distortion, there is no vocoder? Where can I get this?

is that an old skool 'speak & spell' on the shelf there?

Lol. Vocoder graphic section slowly pulsing in the background..

look at that fuckin' setup!! i wish i had money... XD

my ida is ,there are only 3 things needed for a better life.

HI JUST BUY ABLETON I CAN USED WITH MICROSAMPLER ?? THNX

nice 1, this is very helpful... Cheers mate

hi,is there a vocoder in live lite effects rack?

Do you have to have a midi controller that is listed in the preference tab? I can't get my Korg to be recognized by Ableton Live 9, niether can I play sounds from Ableton. I've even purchased a midi in/out with USB and connected it to my audio interface. I can't successfully test these tutorials unless my keyboard is able to play sounds from Ableton. Please help.

Now I know how they made those voices in The Transformers (cartoon TV Series 1984-1987).

haha the first tutorial i didnt get AT ALL

when using my voice (i dont have a studio mic so i have to use my turtle beach one) it keeps this regular 110bpm cut, where the audio completely cuts out for a split second then goes back where it left off, but its really annoying. is it just my microphone, or something else?

Hmm lets buy a midi keyboard :D

@djcesare nobody wants to know.

gonna take a closer look at this later.

I apologize in advance for the basic question, but when I try to play a chord on my keyboard, it only plays one note. Can someone help me out on this one? What do I do to make the entire chord heard?

thanks for this video. very helpful. the one thing i would say to people about this that wasnt covered is that if you arent getting the right sound from it just adjust the transpose knob in operator. this was essential to me getting the right sound,

Holy sh*tballs, this was just what I needed for a certain track of mine. Thanks :D

Very Cool, funny though, He said "now this is where people get confused" i was already confused but trust that if your here, you know something about it already.

10 years old, still ROCKING... absolute favorite of mine.

It doesn't make sense. If you use an audio interface, this is almost impossible to follow, because he's playing without arming the audio track. It's like he's not using a secondary device and playing directly into a computer. I STILL haven't figured out how to work this shit.
