Yeah, that specific effect would be achieved by placing a vocoder on the vocal track and setting a pad synth as the carrier.

Why thank you, I'm flattered! And I'm happy to help; I wasn't actually sure of the answer at first myself and went through a few workarounds before the signal flow clicked in my head, so it's great to get questions like these. Good luck in your productions!

I think there are a lot of really great ideas in this track! It's a very solid effort. My absolute favorite spot is the little fill at about 2:40-2:45; there are a ton of great ideas. You have a lot of good melodic ideas, and your orchestration is varied and interesting.

In the into and prechoruses, I think you're suffering from the problem of too many ideas fighting for the top spot - a great problem to have, because all you need to do is decide which of those different musical concepts you either like least or think is least necessary, and remove it/save it for another project! It's actually kind of funny; you have too many good ideas!

In addition, your bass is a bit loud in the mix, and could be brought down.

My best suggestion is to directly reference other artists and see what they're doing to get an idea of where you should go next. I think if you look for songs by artists like Djemba Djemba, Mr Carmack, AWE, or pretty much anyone else from Team Supreme or Soulection, then pull them directly into your session to listen side by side with your mix by muting and soloing them as you play back your session, you'll be able to see what they do that you don't do, what they don't do that you do do, and all the things you have in common with them!

Looking forward to the finished track!

I think this is a really interesting take on Devil's Lettuce! I know you said to skip to 1:30, but I listened to the whole thing anyways.

I think the main synth in first drop is super old-school dubstep, while the growls and main synth in the second drop is very new-school brostep/riddim. It might work if the synths were processed to be a bit more aggressive and cohesive - the growls are very sharp and loud while the main synths feel a bit quiet in comparison. Applying some distortion and compression on a bus or send and turning down the growls might help bring them all closer together in volume and bring them some clarity and loudness in the mix, or maybe changing your mixdown to bring down some of the other elements like the snare and the chants to give them more room in the mix.

I actually did a Moombahcore edit of the same track, using similar techniques to group process all my bass sounds. It might give you some ideas on where you could take this track!

Looking forward to the finished product!

Hey! We'd love to listen to your track, but attaching to your post makes listening from mobile devices a bit difficult. Would you mind uploading to soundcloud or clyp.it and sharing with us from there?

The easiest genres are the ones you're most familiar with or the ones you mistakenly think are beneath your skills to attempt.

The hardest genres are the ones you're least familiar with or the ones you mistakenly think are beyond your skills to attempt.

They're all variable in complexity and skill, so just focus on writing Good Music™.
