| Hey guys I was wondering if anyone could help me get my vocals to sound like the guy from "owl city". I'm trying to figure it out and can't quite get it... I don't think it's perfect pitch or a vocoder I'm pretty sure it's something different |

| Funny you mention Owl City. Until earlier today I had never heard of the guy that wrote the album or the album itself but I got the new issue of Electronic Musician and it has a whole article on this guy and this album. Although I haven't heard the album yet, I was surprised to read in the article that it was created entirely using Reason and Goldwave. |

| It's definitely not a vocoder. It's a pitch-shifter (like cryo said) with reduced vocal modulation, so they probably used Melodyne for this. |

| I've got the acapella for Hello Seattle and to me it definitely sounds like a vocoder lightly with some of the pitch shifting as mentioned in the previous post. |

"Young also relies on Reason for effects. “I put compression on everything,” he says, “and Reason has a reverb unit called the RV700 with a delay that allows you to apply high- or lowpass filtering to the actual slap back. It seems to really create a sense of depth in terms of vocals."
