Hello out there,

First of all, I found this website and the only thing I can say is:'WOW FINALLY !!!' I got this question. I am working with Cool Edit (duh) quite a while now for track-recording and I keep on learning and learning it. But until now I still did not figure out well how to make a voice sound like robotic/vocode style. Like putting these effects on some parts of words in prhases. Mh maybe it is more specific when I say that I hear this kind of effect often in r&b/hip-hop music. (For example: the 'California'-word in Tupac's 'California love' that are performed by 'Roger',but also in the Cher-song 'Do u believe in love after love'). I know that there is the vocoder-option in Cool Edit but I doubt if that is the way to create the aimed effect, coz I tried it but maybe I didn't do it the way it should be done. So, can anyone tell me if there is the possibility to do that in Cool Edit, and how to do it ?

Thanks for now !

You need two signals, a voice signal and an instrument (usually a synth pad) signal, on two different tracks in multitrack view. Then look under CEP's help index to figure out exactly how to do it.

Both Cher and Roger Troutman's effect is done with a Talk-Box (Heil for Troutman, and a digitech Talker for Cher) and a synth. The Cher effect can be approximated with Auto-tune, to some extent.

Cool Edit has a vocoder, but unless you're an expert, it wont yield the results you want. Search elsewhere on this forum for discussion. It's been brought up many, many times.
 
you need antares auto tune.i tried every thing to get that CHER effect with CEP it sounds rough use antares auto tune it does the job. its a plug in that works with CEP
