Guest Synthacat 9 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 everything should be used in moderation and as pointed out in this thread, autotune usually isn't nowadays so if you're going to use a vocoder, don't think its going to make every track perfect and therefore overuse it on every track; don't let it become a gimmick Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/43367-are-vocoders-back-in-style/#findComment-975311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneaksta303 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Personally, I LOVE vocoder. It can sometimes make a shit track much better. I remember my first listen of vocoder... herbie hancock... i forget the song name... Brilliant... Ed DMX knows how to use it better than most of his peers also.

Guest glasse Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Autotune was used well by Daft Punk, but probably because it was used in a semi ironic way. I am a big fan of the vocoder, and not just for vocals.
