Marshmello vocal synth?
« on: March 29, 2016, 07:11:16 pm »
Does Marshmello use vocal converted samples?
Like the one's he used for Blocks and Hello, i've tried creating something similar but i just can't get the same sound that he uses. Does it really depend on the vocal sample that he used or is did he create it from scratch (Sylenth1, Serum, Massive perhaps?)

Not sure if I'm completely right but if you're going for the vocal chops he does, you can do it by just playing with the sample itself as an audio file (chopping it up in different places and transposing the sample). Or you can place the sample direclty into simpler for Ableton, and you can create notes using MIDI.

Is the sampler any different from the one in Logic Pro X? I've tried experimenting with different vocal fx (mainly female ones since they always fit in nicely with any song) but i just can't seem to transpose it to sound like he does. I've actually noticed Slushii recently using vocal samples as synths too but he's FL and i have no knowledge whatsoever on how to use that DAW :c

You can use Native Instruments' Kontakt as a sampler. It is pretty advanced, but it has some incredible capabilities if you learn how to use it. Another thing you can try using if you don't have vocal samples is taking a vocoder preset (like in Nexus) and bouncing the audio and transposing it.

I was never aware that Kontakt had a sampler. Is it a certain library or is it already there by default?

Yup. Just drag any sample in to Kontakt and you can use it as a sampler. It's pretty cool, and it gives you alot of options for stretching samples and what not. I'm pretty sure it's part of the factory library.

Here's a video on how to do it > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1siHxJisWEY&ab_channel=macProVideoDotCom
