Hey all,

Working on some of my beginner tracks and in all the tutorials I've covered I've not seen lot on really warping out vocals like you might see with Shpongle or Younger Brother, and other psytrance.

There's a million examples of this range of effect I could post, but here's a good one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pXEQQLSFNk Check out minutes 1:31; 3:22; 4:55 and other spots thru the song.

There's some pitch bending, and I'm not sure what else going on here. What gets me is the fluidity and speed of the morphing. This isn't just a straight forward vocal gating, delay, or running thru a simple vocoder?

What might be some good ideas on plugins and effects to run samples thru to get similar, 'loose' effects? I'm not sure how I'd get started with something similar.

Any advice is most appreciated. Thanks much

Google autotune, pitch shift, and Melodyn.

Thanks - so Melodyne is really the way to go here?

Is that the standard, or anyone else have additional input? Thanks

Eddie's suggestion is good.

Some of the parts also sound like there may be a sweeping formant (or notch?) filter.

Thanks for all of the help guys.
I'll be sure to post some finished results when I get there.
