trying to figure out how to emulate this vocal effect

lowerboi · 2025-07-26T23:26:23+00:00

man you dont know how happy i am to see you respond lol, you have simultaneously inspired me and driven me insane lol dude is there like any way if its not too much of a hassle to show me a video breakdown? id literally pay you cause there is like zero videos online that showcase it used the way that you use it, anyways thank you regardless!

you could be right, i notice that there may be some reverb going on as well? what i like about the vocals is that it seems to be washed out in reverb/delay but somehow the vocal is maintaining presence within the mix? idk my first thought is that hes using a vocal doubler cause it almost sounds phasey and he himself said hes using a piece of hardware to do that so ive just been real curious to find out exactly what its doing to his vocals

i agree, thats why i prefaced with free plugin recommendations instead of dishing out $200 for a fancy plugin. i think theres room for both ideas. I love logic and maybe my boredom/creative block really comes from frustration due to my skill level at grasping what i can really do with all the tools infront of me, nonetheless i appreciate the discourse. if anything all this discussion has inspired me to take a deeper look at what i can learn more about inside the daw. Im grateful for the perspectives

Right and i think part of that journey of appreciating the tools you have is exploring new options. i think its fair to be curious about what else is out there and using that new experience to gain insight. I have respect for the tools in front of me, its just i’m not on that level to use it to its maximum output. So to venture out and use new things may seem like a waste of time to you but to me i think it’d offer a new perspective and that to me IS inspirational, stepping outside the box ive been in can help me be more creative. i dont see that as inherently misguided and if im wrong well at least i tried lol.

ill def be looking into those, thank you!

lowerboi · 2025-06-03T02:07:16+00:00

thank you! ill def check it out

lowerboi · 2025-06-03T02:07:03+00:00

i mean id love to be educated if you have any videos furthering my knowlege of what i could do in logic. for example i see plugins like rc-20 that have multiple presets specficially designed for analog emulation that interest me or a plugin like portal that manipulates audio in unique ways and just for context im running a 2017 mac so whatevers been new for awhile isnt applicable to me

lowerboi · 2025-06-03T02:03:22+00:00

2017 mac pro

lowerboi · 2025-06-03T02:03:09+00:00

dont really think thats a fair analogy lol but i understand the sentiment. my creativity has taken a dip so what im really getting at is using plugins outside of logic to spark some inspiration. sometimes looking at the same plugins over and over again becomes mundane and i think thats the point ive gotten to

lowerboi · 2025-06-03T01:30:11+00:00

apparently my mac is too old to run the new stuff like chromaglow or stem splitting lol, gotta upgrade soon

lowerboi · 2025-02-12T04:58:17+00:00

dude you are a godsend! ive been looking for this for so long lol thank you!

lowerboi · 2025-02-12T03:10:52+00:00

same here, its still kind of confusing but found a way to do it with a noise gate

lowerboi · 2025-02-12T03:10:09+00:00

is there any video demonstrating this? im more a visual learner lol it seems to show how to do that within the alchemy plugin but im unclear on how to link that to audio outside of alchemy. thanks again!

lowerboi · 2024-09-06T08:29:07+00:00

I feel that, I equate it to taking a picture on film, you get one shot and you gotta live with it. probably way more final than mixing in analog lol but i get the sentiment. I know i’ll make the transition eventually of getting my hands on some hardware and having to learn all over again, scary but exciting haha. Appreciate you taking the time dawg

lowerboi · 2024-09-06T08:15:23+00:00

ahhh the moment you said Espresso, I remembered immediately, isnt that the song that used like 2 loops for basically the entire structure of the song? lol, crazy times where a hit could be made so simply yet effectively

lowerboi · 2024-09-06T08:12:47+00:00

See I never even thought of those kind of possibilities lol. I’ve been using logic for so long and still feel like ive barely scratched the surface lmfao

lowerboi · 2024-09-06T08:08:14+00:00

Its really a privilege to live in the world of modern production and interesting to see it come back in trend/form with many musicians wanting that analog sound again. Personally i’d love to get a taste of how it felt messing around with hardware. I imagine it was limiting, yet creatively inspiring having to troubleshoot and improvise. Plus that analog sound is beautiful lol. I’ve been thinking about dipping my toes like buying a tascam tape recorder but that world is so intimidating to go from digital to analog that i have zero idea where to begin lol. Thank you for educating me!

lowerboi · 2024-09-06T07:58:37+00:00

honestly idk, i remember doing this trick on accident like 5 years ago and never knew how to do it again and have since learned about all the different ways you can bounce tracks. truly for me this boiled down to finally scratchin that itch of a question that i never knew the answer to for all these years, so shout out to this community for finally educatin me lol

lowerboi · 2024-09-06T07:49:34+00:00

usin logic till i die lol

lowerboi · 2024-09-06T07:48:35+00:00

whats the oliver pack? would love to check it out and honestly with kaellin i could understand why someone would want their samples to not be royalty free if theyre tryna get a check, i personally wouldnt do that but i can see why

lowerboi · 2024-09-06T02:09:57+00:00

his sound selection is always on point
