cher effect

how do i get the cher effect on my vocal

[zed32]

if you have to ask, then you're not gay enough.

I believe that effect is created using autotune. Basically, over-using autotune.

Read the text in the yellow box. (Summary: SonicAlbert is correct.)

Get the Navy boat outfit, and just let go man, let go

Autotune the vocals to within a millimeter of their life. Then autotune some more. Finally, end the last word of every lyric line with the syllable "mmaaawwwww" sung through the nose.

i'm talking about the effect that's on t pain vocals

Although you can get the the "cher effect" by using autotune, they didn't use autotune on Cher's Believe. They actually used some old Roland vocoder, and didn't vocode everything, they actually left some syllables here and there unprocessed

That's what I thought, until I saw the update to the Sound On Sound article.

And since you don't have to ask you are gay enough?

Personally I have no idea how they got that effect. (not that there's anything wrong with knowing how they did it)

Maybe hamsters?

1. Hire Cher

2. Buy Autotune

3. Have Cher sing

4. Apply autotune to Cher's vocals

Yeah, I'm a bit confused now too...Is SOS calling that producer guy a liar? Why would he come up with such an elaborate story about the vocoder processing to hide the fact that he used autotune?

[noisewreck]

One reason I never ever ever wanna hear that song "Blue... yabadabablahblahfuckyouwithyourcornysoundbitchblahyabadabadoo".

Or, why would he take such an elaborate route to achieve what autotune does just by turning up the dials. I think he may have been trying to look smarter than he is, and then had to lie to cover a lie, but I really don't know. One thing's for sure, it sure does sound like over autotune.
